Hey 2008 is only a few weeks away -....
I know I get 3.8 on air easily with some mods but ... I'm so tired of taking out my mobo and plus installing the tuniq 120 is a PIA...
Thats BIOS setting Voltage. I am using the CoolMaster GeminII (could be considered the BIGGEST PIA as a heatsink with Artic Cooling MX-2. I have been slowly lowering my Vcore... would like to know the lowest MAX stable setting. It has been only two days since I have lowered it to 1.4250, but it passed Prime and has not given me a problem.

I figure I am just around that 200hour thermal paste burn in time. Right now, I am pretty happy with 3.6Ghz, and don't see my self overclocking to much higher, but I will still gradually be lowering my Vcore until I crash.
