Just a heads up my VID reads at 1.050v, but after testing diff voltages in bios and comparing to the stock volt setting my actual stock vcore ends up being 1.125v setting in BIOS.

Why won't my DFI T2R just say what it is in bios...

Anyway, I tested by leaving DEFAULT in bios and seeing what CPU-Z reads... then I tried a few manual voltage settings in BIOS until CPU-Z read the same value.

So what's up with VID being read incorrectly?

Also, here my batch code and pretty much what my e8400 does:
Q745A741
D-Tek Fuzion custom mount, bix2 rad, 2xDeltas, D5 pump, Liquid Metal TIM
440x9=3960mhz @ 1.400vcore for SPi 32M stability

I tried pumping up to 1.425vcore and couldn't even do 441fsb (1 notch higher). My board ran 24/7 520fsb 3640mhz with my e6400 for a couple months, so I don't think it's the board.

I have another e8400 on the way that has benched 4.5ghz so I'll report back when that gets here.

Has anyone else had a chip that can't hit 4ghz? Raising volts has not helped me in any way. CPU-Z reads 1.456v right now and still I'm hitting a wall at 3960mhz.

Does raising any other voltages help much? I've tried raising VTT, NB and SB up a notch and it made no difference, but I'm wondering if they need to be raised more (don't know safe voltages and which are actually helpful).

I did disable vdroop and gained about 40mhz on the CPU at 1.400vcore.
