Your builder apparently does not know what they are doing
The Coolmaster V8 may not handle a full 4GHz i7 clock but a 75c idle temp is well into the danger zone
with you hitting 100c you are lucky you still have a processor
If you do not know what you are doing and they dont, I suggest you get this system to someone who does before you fry a 1000$ processor
This should be your BIOS here and regardless of the right values to start off... clocking requires experience:
ASUS P6T DELUXE V2 Template 965 4GHz DDR3 1600 8-8-8-24
About the Corsair 8-8-8 memory.. its OK but 6-6-6 or 7-7-7 memory would have been a-LOT better

Assuming stable boot and verify SPEEDs in CPUz.. stress test using OCCT 1hr Automatic CPU test..
http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/index.php?DownloadSet the TEMP FAIL in the properties to 80c
Use REALTEMP v3.0 or above to monitor temps during the test to verify with OCCT <80c
http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/Set the TJMAX in the REALTEMP settings to 100c
Run the OCCT test.. if its stable at you initial CPU Voltage of 1.35 and remains under 80c, your fine..
if it fails and you remained <80c raise CPU Voltage from 1.35 to 1.36 and retest.
repeat
If temp hits 80c the OCCT test should fail automatically so if you see a failure verify if it is a temp fail or core fail before raising CPU Voltage
Typically it can take anywhere from 1.34 to 1.42v CPU Voltage to run 3.8 to 4.0GHz
The goal is to find the lowest CPU Voltage with the highest CPU speed and not exceed 80c and remain stable in a 1hr load test.
