The deafult Vcore with F9a beta is set at 1.2375V, is this correct?, also...i didn't have to increase (G)MCH or FSB voltages at all...but again the system has not been stress tested...i'll get around to all that soon.

In addition, the option CPU fine clock ratio?...it appears you can set the CPU multi to 6.5, 7.5 and 8.5x????

How is that possible?, i know you can can the multi from a range of 6-8x + 6.5 and 7.5, but how are they allowing you 8.5x?....this means you could potential get a much higher overclock if it works.

For some reason my memory bandwidth is very low, 7700...much lower then my old E6600 at 3.4GHz, it might be the memory divider...i have to check that out.

In addition, the CPU EIST fuction stays enabled even if you overclock or bump voltages, which was not the case with the E6600.
The .5 addition to the devider will not allow you to get 8.5 7.5 yes aand so on but, not 8.5 that is for the step down from that one which I beleive has the 7.5 correct me if I'm wrong on the step down cpu part I might be there but it is for the cpus with a x.5 multi though. Bandwith must be memory devider / timings.
