At what multiplier though? I can do 8x400 easy at stock volts. It's 9x400 where I have stability issues. Anything above 3.2 to 3.3 requires more voltage. My chip has a Vid of 1.2125, what's yours? That could make a difference. There can be all kinds or reasons. I still think I may have an issue with the heatpipe maybe being too tight. I know I cannot go very high on voltages as I just get a shutdown. I should have the fans I want to try on the Gemeni II on Monday. I am going to remount the heatpipe when I do the hs change just to make sure. I did the mod before I ever installed the board so I don't know what it could do before the bolt job. I even changed psu's thinking I that maybe i was having voltage supply issues from the symptoms. I now wonder if my OCZ was not to blame. I can't find out now as I ahve already swapped it out for 2 more sticks of 1066 Tracers, whick I need to install also. Or it could be that I just have a pickier board than most. Must be a female, huh.
