welcome to my world
I cant get >380 really stable either. The bad part is, >400 it fails to POST (doesn't seem to switch to 1333 bootstrap...??)

Personally I would be thrilled if I could get 3.2Ghz working on air with stock (or small increase) voltage.

I'm at 1.6V with Artic Freezer 7 pro struggling to get 3.08Ghz stable with E6420 (hoping Vdroop mod will fix all that).

Tonight, ripping damn NB off, and checking out what that thermal pad is doing... I really hope putting some good paste under there fixes all my fsb issues. Last result will be OCZ P4 Gladiator brick of copper on the NB... then its the doggy house (RMA/eBAY).
