So iam still tinkering around in my bios trying to get 4GHz stable for at least 30 runs on LinX, I pretty much exhausted every possible combination I can think of and theres just one setting I didn't touch, PLL. My reason? These are the possible settings 1.55v -> 1.75v -> 1.95v, its been at 1.55v since I got my board.
My question is is there anyone that ever ran or runs 1.75v PLL through a 45nm CPU 24/7 without damage? I know Intel rates max PLL at 1.57v hense the reason iam hesitating to throw it all the way up to 1.75v but is this voltage like VTT? Too high and poof no more CPU? I heard stories of people running 1.85v for a year and nothing happened.. Most boards would let you pick at least 1.60v but not DFI, I emailed them about adding more selections but still no reply (big surprise there).
What should I do with my PLL? Try it for curiosity or don't even risk it?
