35 is good i think you should stop ocing once it gets to 40 idle

That is called speedstep. If your system is ideling, it knocks the multiplyer down to save power. When you start an app or a game it goes up to 9, don't worry. You can also disable it in BIOS if you want it to always be 9.

Thats about right, i knocked mine back up to 3.6ghz last night and running orthos i get 61C on cores 0 and 1 and around 51 on cores 2 and 3, im starting to think lapping is in order. At idle with 1.35v i'm at around 40C, but its only 70F in my apt.

It's worth doing if done correctly, and with patience. It takes a lot of hours to get it right. I've seen some drop by as much as 5 degrees, which is a pretty good drop.
