I'm using F4 bios so here's my voltages. I'll play around some tomorrow. (I didn't want to flash the F4 bios... it's too unstable for me.)

CPU-VID 1.3, NB-VID 1.3, NB-CORE 1.165, and I have CPU-HT 1.162.
I did change my NB-VID from 1.25v to 1.3v for stability.
These are according to AOD 2.0.17.

We need to test the same chip in a different board. Did Dave say he was getting a K9A2?
I've got a Gigabyte 780G but that's useless really as it has no overclocking options. (HTT + CPU volts)
Thanks for the list of F4 voltages. I'll try some changes tomorrow. I didn't want to reflash F4 on my board because F4 was very unstable when I flashed it last time.

I did find that With the NB set to 1800 it will run Prime95 blend for 4-6 hours and then reboot. I'm now testing to see what happens with the NB at 1600.

The system stability seems about the same at 1066 or 800 memory speeds.

Today I got a second response from Gigabyte. The first response was "We know of no problems." When I told them to just look at any hardware forum they did reply; they just asked me how to recreate the problem.

I think the real problem is a combination of a lot of things... BIOS, variations in the CPU, different memory. But it should still be completely stable at the defaults.

WEIRDNESS: I just ran 3DMark06 at NB:1600 and it was actually a few points HIGHER than when I ran it at NB:2000. (Everything else the same.) I'm re-running at NB:2000; I'll probably also try out Vantage.
