But as you can see my CPU voltage is quite high, I have tried to lower it and raise the NB voltage but I get either a core drop on me with Prime or a BSOD.

Is their any other way of drooping the core voltage without loosing a core on Prime?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

SB Voltage Setting/PLL ....................1.500 v

increase it 1 notch or 2 notch , like 1.578v

it helped me OC'ing my mars

I've found that quite often if you fail Prime95, for all other applications and games your overclock will work perfect without giving errors, bsod etc..
Depends if you want prime95 stable or just day to day use stable.. I know what i picked lol

make shure your sub timings for ram are correct

leaving my corsairs on auto none of the sub's are correct due to xmp profiles not being read correctly
never hurts to check ;)

I have tried every thing that has been suggested but my system still does not like anything but what I started with.

I'm puzzled and worried that my CPU volts are just a tad too high, but I can not do much about it!

[HDCHOPPER]

well sometimes one doesnt get lucky to get a exellent overclocking cpu
e bay the sucker and try again
the MARS is a mad overclocker on dual cores :) the BlackOps is the mad Quad board

want a BO myself just for ddr3 have 2 great chips but ddr2 is holding me back ;(

[Jules007]

Well I'm not going to worry about it any more, it is stable as it is and the temp does not hit much more than 60c in prime and is around 29 when idle. so it will do for now.
Thank you all for your help. :)
