1st off thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread and an extra scope of that for Ace. IMHO Nelly should add you pipe mod to her first post. Mine was as bad if not worse than that. Been reading and following this for a couple weeks but hadn't really had anything to add, but now that I got a Wolfdale 8400 on my IP35 pro. Thought I'd share my settings incase anybody was having trouble getting to 4GHz. Kinda doubt it though. it seems to be the norm.
Edit2: Bah! I'm not to sure about Orthos anymore, but I can play UT3 without issues. My Screen shot is of what is currently stable for me. 3Dmark score 12756, 3Dmark cpu score 3748. It will boot and run at 4.2GHz (probably even higher) but like most. It wants quite a bit more juice to do so.

Pasted bios settings in the SS so I don't feel obligated to update this post. Just the SS if things change.
DDR2 REF = 0%
CPU GTLREF 0-3 = 67%
Will be trying to lower voltages a little bit at a time over time.
This is my 1st Intel build in years. (I know you hear that all the time these days.) Coming off my DFI nf4 ultra w/ 170 Opty. So I got a couple questions. What's this preformance level I've read people refer to, and how does one adjust it? Does the DDR2 REF option realy do anything? Didn't seem to change my DDR voltage settings. Also what the heck is CPU GTLREF? OK so I haven't really searched those last 2 questions but got so many returns on preformance level that I still haven't found any answers.
