Yes, I tried higher voltages with 4 cores. I went as high as 1.4375V. Since Im on air, I didn't feel comforable going higher. I didn't try a real high voltage on the NB(1.15V max) since the MCP78S was getting very hot. Ive since put a fan on it, so I may up the voltage more later.

4 cores would boot OK, but would always lock system within 1-10min, no matter what I did with voltages or multi's. Starting P95 would cause it to lock faster.

One draw back with this board is FSBRAM multi's. You only get 3 settings, thats it. Not very good. For hard core overclocking, Id go elsewhere. I got this boards for 2 monitor system.
