Ok, I don't have pics because I'm at work, but I want to know what you guys think. So far I'm at 4.5GHz at roughly 1.22v. My temps running a long test on Prime95 are ~77C. Does this look good? I was told by someone to drop the PLL from 1.8 to 1.6 and that might allow me to lower the VCore. True? Also, I had to set my ram to 1.65v, is this normal? Has anyone else had to deal with that? My ram at stock runs at 1.5v. And I turned off C3/C6. Are those important? What exactly do they do? And why does everyone turn them off? Thanks guys/gals!

I would'not turn off C3/C6. For what reason did you do that?
My temps on 4.7GHz with 1.280 VCore are about 72°C, no other voltages touched.
My RAM voltage is at stock but the core speed set to 1600mhz and timings automatically adjusted.
At 4.4GHz you maybe are able to run at stock VCore, at 4.3GHz I was stable with stock voltages.
Btw. everything on air cooling

Yeah I turned it back on. I'm still playing around with it trying to get it stable. I can run IBT at 20 passes on Very High, but Prime95 still crashes
so back to the drawing board.

The C3/C6 are for error correction/detection as I've read.
Maybe you can suppress BSOD with disabling these.
You should higher the vcore if you get crashes on prime. But it could also be generated by improper ram settings. My advise would be to check one thing after the other, wrong settings can be more easily detected this way.
Did you set V-Droop or PLL offset? If so, you should turn those off before it is stable.

I had C states disabled and I kept getting BSOD when idle. After a bit of reading about idle crashes I put them on 'Auto', and not a single BSOD since.

I use 4.5Ghz with 1.2v and PLL voltage to 1.5v
Temps are 72 degrees max, in prime95.

I'm at keep mine at 4.6 v1.28
The temps top out at 76c , but hang around 72c.
I often bring it up to 4.8 v1.35 but my temps hang in the the low to mid 80's
at 4.8 I've run 20 passes of Linx and Cinabench doesnt hang or anything.

IB can handle better higher temps guys. So, some 80's degrees is 70 to a SB CPU.
