I could never cross 4.0 with 1.28 when hte chip was just out of the box.

And there is no way I can run stable 4.25 @ 1.325



I can play around some more and drop my voltages further but I could never achieve those clocks with voltages that low in the first place.

I think the mobos might be playing some strange tricks with vcore. I have my pencil vdroop modded and load line calibration on so there is no varience with my vcore. If you get to a failed OC, clearing the CMOS and restoring the profile works very well. I think some kind of hardware reset is neded to flush the mobo. Seeing these guys at <1.3 and 4.2Ghz just doesn't even seem realistic. Mine is a good clocker and I need 1.32v for 4.1Ghz and 1.37 for 4.2Ghz. Pushing 4.2 on 1.28v just doesn't sound right to me, thats not going to be enough voltage imo.
