Also this P5K is struggling at 500FSB, it must think it is an nvidia 680i.

Nice vid. on that cpu tho.

For the record, I've pumped more than 1.6v into E8400 for more than an hour at a stretch. I have been running it at 1.4750v the last 48 hours. That says nothing, because all cpus are not the same. But it's too early to pin anything on voltages right now.

@origin_Unknown: The fact that your psu blew is all the evidence you need that your board was not getting the power it needed. Of course, a faulty psu is the best component killer.
