    Thats not true. I had Transaction Booster on AUTO. So when I started having issues I've now disabled it and I'm orthos stable again at 4.1 Ghz @ 1.40v. It wasn't degredation... just a setting as I suspected. Having something like Transaction Booster or Static Read on AUTO isn't doing anything but affecting stability occaisionally. Having voltages on AUTO is a huge no, no.
