My bad, I thought modular meant where you could choose which plugs actually plug into the power supply, and eliminate unneccessary cables out of the case, and believe me, routing the cables from this octupus is annoying at best

Update on the 4ghz, set bios voltage to 1.7v, actual turned out to be 1.892 (as measured in PC health status in bios), got into xp, started prime, and while it didnt lock up, temps shot straight to 78C, so I shut it down asap...stupid voltage regulators/bios....any bios for me over F4a goes into endless reboot unless I have just 1 stick of ram installed until I get into the bios to adjust...which means I'd have to do that everytime I had a failed overclock, and hope it doesnt decide to continually reboot anyway.

ToyTen: nice fsb...I think you can run the memory at a 1T commmand rate at those speeds without a problem...just a thought...

well your right, modular means exectly what you just have described.

Update on the 4ghz, set bios voltage to 1.7v, actual turned out to be 1.892 (as measured in PC health status in bios), got into xp, started prime, and while it didnt lock up, temps shot straight to 78C, so I shut it down asap...stupid voltage regulators/bios....any bios for me over F4a goes into endless reboot unless I have just 1 stick of ram installed until I get into the bios to adjust...which means I'd have to do that everytime I had a failed overclock, and hope it doesnt decide to continually reboot anyway.

hmm very strange that you board overvolts so strong. Normally most boards undervolt.

Thx, 1T Command Rate ? just like that ?
Anyway, I can try this.

Yeah ~aoe~, he's very happy...

That's modular cable management ... And the +12V schematics it's modular (The PSU has 6x+12V modules). I thought that's what you are reffering to ...

Set bios voltage to 1.7v, actual turned out to be 1.892 (as measured in PC health status in bios)

Maybe is because that PSU has 40Amps on +3.3 and +5V ? You're on the other side now have a vraise

I saw many strange things in my life so ... I'm not saying anything because It will bother Hornet331 .

Just try to set lower voltages in bios, starting by setting the normal voltage of the CPU, and then overclock and tell me if it stayes stable under full load
