BTW you make me feel less self conscious about my oc
Well I was running at 1.48 for a bit but due to some random issues I've since changed to 1.5. My voltage seems to fluctuate quite a bit so I'm not really sure. I tried it at 1.6v for 3.8 and still no go. I messed with all my ram settings and NB and just about everything I could but 3.7 it is. Temps have never been a problem, even with 1.6+. Just wish I could push it a little more.

Mine takes 1.425 volts to run prime stable @ 3.6 with my NB @ 2.4 this is the lowest voltage I could get 3.6 stable on if you have any more luck let me know!

So far im 22 minutes stable P95 blend 3.6ghz @ 1.408 volts I think im going to up the voltage one more value just to make sure its completely stable.

Edit: Had to up the VCore to 1.425 so far stable for 45 mins with the new voltage, BTW my NB is stock I haven't touched it yet.

What does it mean in p95 when it says Torture test completed 47 tests in 1 hour - 1 error 0 warnings. Does that mean its not stable? Ive never had that before. The other cores are still running fine.

Edit: I think im going to lower my memory back to 800mhz as I read that the error I had was memory related.

This is not the limit of the chip. If temps are respectable, up to 1.6V is fine(under 55 degr)
