Thanks Akuma2000. 1303 seems best for me too....but my vcore overvolts what is set in bios....at some point....cus it used to be lower than what I set (when I was around 300 - 333 x 9....@ maybe 1.35 - 1.4 vcore....don't remember voltage).

I finally got into Windows @ 425 x 9 @ almost 1.7vcore in bios (I don't even want to know what it was real). Started priming and core temp showed 75C on hottest core and then locked up (or rebooted) a few minutes later. This was after I gradually went up in vcore from where I was for 450 x 8. Had a hard time getting to windows screen at first.

I never lapped this cpu yet. I only half @$$ed lapped the heatsink (i'm on air). I didn't go any further. Back at 450 x 8....for now. Gonna break it down and lap this weekend....maybe pick up a 780i too.
