Yeah Schneider, I've tried it on&off, same with the EPP mem timings and manual adjustments...

I'm on my 3rd Phenom and 3rd Mobo and they all actually act pretty much the same reguardless of settings. I see these guys with 3.x Ghz benchies and can't help but think they are all just Suicide Shots, benchable but not stable...

I've been OC'ing AMD's since the K6/400's and I've never seen a chip as unpredictable as the Phenoms, it will run stable for hours, then the next time you boot it crashes for no apparent reason...

That being said, I finally found a stable setting with my gear (see Sig) 245x11x8x6 - Vcpu 1.275, Vimc 1.15, Vmem 2.0. Yep, 2.7Ghz, with an IMC slightly under 2Ghz and a seriously degraded HTT (1470).... But it has proven stable for the last few days and actually it doesn't perform all that bad. But not nearly what I expected...

G0ldBr1ck:I had the same thoughts, blameing it on the G.Skills, so I bought some OCZ Reapers (1066/Micron D9's). I wish you luck, but in reality I don't think you'll see any benefit.

Take it for what it's worth, but running your CPU or IMC over 1.35v's will just cause your chip to degrade very quickly (talking weeks here!)....

Wish you luck, and hope you prove me wrong..
