Not everyone is going to realize the same success you did.
Maybe... but before this, I really did have to use high voltages for 3.80GHz. Stupid me... that wasn't necessary. There is a golden voltage ratio that I discovered. If I left everything like a mess at high or near high voltages, the system would be very unstable. But IF I go with just enough vCore, vPLL, vFSB, and vNB, the system would be rock-solid, and I believe that can happen with other boards as well. Of course it's trials and errors, and I tried over 20 different combos for several hours (actually ten days now) before I could find this perfect ratio for 3.80GHz at 1.304-1.312v. It wasn't even stable at 1.388v before.
