3.7 stable on 1.264 volts? Or does it undervolt on idle?

Oh my gosh! What did he do to it to kill it so fast? What kind of volts was he giving it? What temps?

I'm at 1.52v, don't want to lose my proc...95% of the time though I'm way undervolted at 1.05v and 11x200.

I think its his motherboard personally :P You should be fine...I run my CPU at 1.47-1.5V usually when I'm overclocking and 24/7.

Hey will, I have the same issues as you. Each time i get a stable OC about 3.6 it lasts for a few days before it desides it doesnt like it anymore.

I'm back to 3.6 at the moment

As in i was able to get 3.7GHz with 1.51v and 3.6GHz with 1.48v but not any more. Not sure why but it just wont do it.
BTW, im crazy, i ran her at 1.62v for quite awhile for 3.85GHz, load temps didnt get above 50'c though.

Yeh Lethal, most lightly my motherboard, i dont have $$$ for new one so currently i just run stock speeds or 3.2ghz, idling at 17-21'c and load 29'c. :P

This is kind of off topic, but do any of you guys have Pictures of the inside of your cases? The only reason I ask is because I am trying to decide on a CPU cooler that points back to my rear exhaust fan. Since I am hearing/reading all this stuff about the Dark Knight not being able to be mounted this way, and has to be mounted Vertically. I have a top exhaust fan space, but no top exhaust fans, and I would rather it exhaust out the back anyway. But it seems you all are fine with the positioning, which is why a few pics would be golden.

I have a Thermalright Ultra-120, it only will mount vertically. At first this was a nasty temps problem but then I found that the AM3 socket CPUs are allowed to get up to 71C and 73C for X3/X4 respectively.

I have the fan mounted on the bottom of the cooler blowing up, on the right of the cooler parallel to the RAM sticks I have a piece of cardboard that I have taped to the top of my case. And to the left of the cooler (back of the case) I have an exhaust fan. So the cardboard forces the air left towards the back fan, and the back fan sucks it out of the case.
