    Ok, so far I have managed to get my system totally Prime stable with 4-4-4-10-5 timings at 378x9 with the 400 FSB to NB Strap. I'm aiming for the 3.4GHz mark instead of 3.6, because it allows for much more stable 24/7 usage with Air cooling. I don't want Crysis BSOD'ing on me :P
    I started with 1.31v on the CPU and made my way up to 1.35v until Prime finally stabalized.
    The FSB Termination and NB voltages extremely low though, so things are looking good.

    I'd go for 3.6GHz if I wasn't working with the 0701 BIOS though, the temp increases are making me very paranoid.
    I'm going to try tweak latencies even tighter because it still feels like I have quite a lot of headroom with the RAM; but seriously, it's pretty mind boggling how this board reacts to slight changes in the BIOS, kinda like prodding someone on shrooms.

    A list of my BIOS settings will be posted as soon as I am 100% happy with the setup.
