madfaze: If I understand correctly, there's 4 major voltage domains on a Core 2 chip and for K10h, +4x PLL+1x IMC+1x HT but the HT voltage is the same as the FSB voltage in the C2 chips. The PCIe links are controlled by the I/O hubs in the RD790 chipset, so if you were to increase their voltage, it may very well increase PCIe volts too.

jonspd: hows your Phenom running, any updates?

G.Skill, I'll try but not until after I can get a Phenom. It'll be 9850, most likely, I'm not bothering with more I have duties to attend to now.

BTW, somethings going on - it looks like stores were price gouging initially but something else also.
9850 BE yesterday dropped price across all stores here even before release.

It was 176-201 before yesterday everywhere but by yesterday all of them dropped the price to 142-149, which is around $20-30 lower than Q6600 G0 here and $40-50 lower than the cheapest Q9300 is "on order" for.

That's also $40 lower than 9600/9600 BE were retailed here for until mid-Feb '08. The new price is pretty good for a 2,5G IMO since I do reckon there's higher chance of 2.8-3G stable on these than the B2.
