I noticed that setting 1.3825v in bios results in 1.35 idle in cpu-z and without LLC enabled it goes to 1.3v on load. I don't think the other bios was any different.

Thinking about it, would a new memory table help me? I have crucial ballistix micron d9s 16FD5 so its really old memory. I could understand if there was some newer memory which was tweaked, although I'm just guessing about what the actually tweak in the memory tables.

Sorry for not being a better beta tester, I just want to get comfortable and confident of my overclock before testing more. It is still cold here too and I want my 24/7 overclock to be stable all year round. Plus I don't want my crucial ballistix to be RMA'ed because I don't know what I will receive back, probably RAM not as overclockable. I have a proheim megaheim and a 120mm focused on the RAM, so I hope its safe.

FYI 4 dimms was not stable with 1.28v NB but is with 1.36v NB @ 450 5:6 333strap (only settings I tested)
Interesting, on my P5Q PRO, I can't increase any volt on NB otherwise unstable. In fact I reached 450FSB on 1.10V NB with my Q9550. Try to tweak the mem parameter to SPD or EPP, make sure they are the sane as the official setting.
