vaughanster: Stay out of the thread unless you have something sensible to add. You need to read my very first post before replying and oddly, you sound exactly like one of the extremists already banned for attacking macci in the 3DMark thread. And yes, grow up.

Sammi: Your input is greatly appreciated as it shows exactly the things we've been asking for an complaining about not having. Again, please ignore the trolls.

Try it. That's all I can say. Try for 2.5GHz and then 2.6GHz stability. This is the best way to go abut it. 1.45V should get 2.6GHz stable IMO. The three Phenoms I've yet oc'd all can reach 2.6GHz stable with that much or less VCore. BUt make sure you stress test for at least 8 hours continuous (left overnight is best) at any MHz before trying to higher on stability.

Well, I need that new BIOS ASAP!

Everyone can add to the info we know, and many have added, not just me or macci. All is appreciated. That's how humans learn by working together.
