I've got a 3.0c and a p4p800se (i know its not the greatest but its either that or a p4c800-e for the local retailers and i wanted to try before deciding if i should get an a64). It's currently clocked at 3.675 @ 1.6v. When i set it to 3.75 it locks up at the same test in prime95 every time (running server 2k3). I've tried uping the voltage to 1.65 but it didnt help. So you your opinions which is more likely or have i just hit the max oc? If it is the board how much more could i possibly get with a ic7-g? System specs are xp-90 with a sanyo denki rated at 55cfm, antec 430, 9800 pro, 40gb pata, liteon 832s.

On a side note i know that asus's temps are off, load the max it says is 100f (38c) and the motherboard temps of 110f (43c). Ambient temps my guess is mid to low 70s. I assumed it was about 30 off but could it be alot higher?
