You may need to increase vcore slightly if its not stable on stock. Try these settings - if okay and stable we can fine tune memory and maybe reduce some volts in the vcore/NB/FSB later. Should be able to get the sticks running 4.,4,4,12 or better at that speed..

Well i set it up like this:

The system is stable enough and running at 3.2 GHz with DDR2-1066. However i am little worried about:
CPU Voltage Reference: AUTO
CPU Voltage Damper: Enabled
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.5
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.4
North Bridge Voltage: 1.40
North Bridge Voltage Reference: AUTO
South Bridge Voltage: AUTO

Keeping all these constant i had tried reducing the CPU voltage from 1.45v to 1.4375, and it seems this is the right voltage at which the system is stable. However I was wondering if i should try reducing any of the above voltage. And what should i ideally set "DRAM Static Read Control" to?

I am using the stock CPU fan, and my CPU is in the range of 50 - 65 c temperature and during high stress @ 65 - 73 c.

Thank you,
