Dual Core Opteron Thread #2

[ineedaname]

Perhaps one of you more experienced overclockers can help me out; I have a 165 CCBBE 0617 (thanks Dave) and it has the weirdest scaling with speed/voltage. I can get 9x313 prime stable for 12+ hours at stock vcore (1.392 in CPU-Z), but I cannot get any higher than 9x325 at 1.584 V (CPU-z). I'm inclined to blame this mobo (A8N32-SLI) since it has wildly varying voltages. To get 1.584 V under load, I have to set 1.625 in BIOS. Then in windows, it idles at 1.648 V and load is 1.584 V? Thats a 0.064 V drop. Is this normal? Note that at stock vcore, volts dont drop nearly as much. My power supply is PC P&C 510, which should not cause any problems.
Temps are all within reason, 50 C max under load at highest vcore (I have watercooling on the cpu only and a cool room, ~22 C ambient). Other setup/settings:
RAM: OCZ Gold PC3200 2x512 Memory divider 100
Video Card: PNY 7600 GS (just for testing since it doesnt use too much power)
Dual Raptor 74 GB Drives (not RAID 0, which i have yet to work out on this board)
Watercooling is Swiftech H20-220
TT Armor Case

Any suggestions on either whats going on or how to get a higher stable clock?

I have the same board and this site helped a bit.

Wow you even have the same case as me o.O spooky
