Hey Linskingdom and the rest of all you OCNers,
A couple of days ago, I made the first real OC blunder on my setup.. I was obviously not giving my proc. the needed amount of voltages when orthos testing 4.5Ghz, because after 5 minutes the system rebooted and the bios even had to reset itself. Upon entering the bios, I became aware that one of the USB options was missing along with a couple other settings..
What happened was: upon assembly of my system I updated the bios, but didn't know one also had to reset the bios immediately afterwards with the clrcmos switch!!
NOW: my processor recieves 1.17v from the mobo @ stock settings instead of 1.19v!!!!

You can scratch my posts and values in the list for the time being... I get to start all over again!!

And just to show you what a little voltage difference can do.... pic2 is to show the idle temps and idle vcore.
(An even 4.1Ghz should also be stable at this voltage [and who knows maybe even lower!!], I'll try that tonight!)
Sorry for all the trouble.
