These settings got me 7 minutes of Small FFT's before Core 2 crapped out. So I upped the vCore to 1.4925 and got an instant shutdown upon firing up Prime. This thing just hates high voltages. So I just went to bed ans tossed and turned thinking about it. This morning I got up and went back to the first settings of MCH 1.65, ICHIO of 1.81, and vCore of 1.425. But this time I set the CPURef's to 70% instead of 67%. I am now almost 2.5 hours into Small FFT's without a whimper from it this time. I am beggining to like this thing now Thank's Ace for the suggestions.

if you are using Uguru version 3.104, then you have a defective board or possibly the bios is all screwed up since it should not be doing that, the shutdown part, when you set the max ICHIO 1.5 and MCH.

did you say you did the heatpipe mod?
