Btw, is it me or solid caps are becoming projectiles more and more often? I didn't remember hearing about so many exploding caps when everything was "non-solid". What gives?

1.525 Vcore set BIOS, massive vDrop and vDroop gave me 1.280 V loaded.
I was running Prime95, loading at a comfortable 60C and POOF. I'm thinking the people designing these budget boards don't expect people to use quads on them and make them "good enough" for dual cores. Nowhere on this P5K-VM box does it say anything about quads. Infact, I see a "Supports intel Core 2 Duo inside" logo on the front.
