KTE, Im aware of OC's not being guaranteed. I planned a Phenom for a long time now but I heard about TLB problem and decided to wait for the fix. The fix is here, saw awesome results and got even more excited as I ordered it.

But since the skt 939 Opteron days I dont expect my single CPU to OC like someone else his in like US. Many people hit 2.9~3Ghz back then, I only got to 2.8Ghz. At some point I thought ít's still as fast as a FX-57 anyway, it's faster than what I paid for... Lets play games.

It's 'frustrating' to see worse OC results than other users get, but in the end the tweaking and tuning is damn awesome, and 2.7Ghz is nothing WR breaking but it will do for 24/7 usage. Besides that, I still think it's possible to get at least close to 2.8Ghz if I test some more.

And I didnt OC'd the NB a lot yet, will try that as well.

As I said, Ill wait a few weeks or even wait for 45nm and buy another one. After all B3 is very young.

Brother, LSD is bad for you. Only Amphetamine+caffeine mix is good . And btw, 75ns was for tRFC btw, not latency test in Everest.

Oese, good to know. I might try it out. Another thing which helps a lot for RAM OC's is setting DRAM Driver Weak Mode to Weak. Although this might be IC depending, it worked very well for me.

[EDIT]
And if more VOlts dont help to get RAM better try to play around with Drive Strengths as well, they help a lot.
