1.5v On air, wouldn't go there.

Highest I would go is 1.4 after vdrop.

1.45V load is about 60 degrees load in Orthos. Those Quad Cores put out more heat than Dual Cores.

Will what is your vcore set to and what are you loading at?

Murlocke im at 1.45 on air and im loading at 41°C when playing BF2142

1.45v in bios is around 1.4 after the vdrop.

Even at 30C if your voltage is to high you can hurt your processor. 1.45v isnt going to probably hurt anything but it is higher than I would go on air.

How exactly are you testing that and what program are you using, that seems awfully cold for a TT and a overclock like that.

I have Coretemp running and i idle at 25°C when my ambient is 21°C

At 3.37 my Vcore is set to 1.35 with the +100MV on.

At 1.38V load at 3.2 my idle temp is 28-30 and load is around 55, I am happy with a higher overclock even if the temps are 64-65, but I still need to figure out how exactly I'm gonna get to 3.4Ghz, seems like this mobo is making it hard.

You may have reached the limit of the CPU can oc by. You dont want to go over 60° either.

Its ok going over 60, 65 is the limit.

My ambients get that high when I'm out for several hours and the AC is off. Because I use my computer for data analyses that can take days, it has to remain stable at this time (and the costs of leaving the AC on 24/7 are prohibitive).

Is your NB voltage maxed? I had to put mine up to 1.7V at around that FSB. Also, have a graph running for your vcore on speedfan while you run orthos. See what the lowest vcore you get with droop. You might have to push the vcore up a little higher. And there's no way the board's preventing you from achieving a stable clock at 375FSB.

Hey guys, just a heads up. OCz has released SPD-Z which is a program that may help compatibility with motherboards. Its designed to increase stability, compatibility, and overclockability of their ram. Check it out here.
