I can get my NB voltage as high as 1.55v using AOD 2.0.17, although I still can't raise it with the bios.

I haven't oc'ed it for ages because i'm folding with it now and I'm happy with it at 2.8 and it's very stable with the SMP client and the GPU2 client.


Is your chip at 2.8GHz under x64 or x32 OS?
I'm going to dig up my HDD with 32bit OS later this week if time will allow

BTW I'm sure BIOS still needs a lot of work. If my overclocked system crashes once then even after changing it to stock settings it will be unstable. Only solution is to unplug it from the socket for 30 seconds. Not a good thing to do.

PS. I'm not sure if everyone know this, but if your system can't boot because of some new too high settings in BIOS (HDD light flashing like mad) and you are going to CLEAR CMOS try first holding RESET button for 5-6 seconds. It always brings my system back .
