ICHIO 1.7
ICH 1.05
VTT 1.27
GTLREF -69%


no matter what, it will not get pass the windows loading screen @ 4ghz.

Now, what I havent done is the bolt mod. I want to and I wish I did before installing the motherboard.

Another thing I noticed is my temps on the cpu on each core was 50-60c idle. Very high on watercooling. I am cooling my GPU too in this loop. Am I going pass the max in my GT240 Stealth? Seems to be so.

Opinions? I am using Corsair 800mhz on a 1:1 ratio. Shouldnt matter at 400fsb... but I have tracers in the mail.
first of all, you will need actual higher vcore than what cpuz is reporting...you will need to get it up to 1.50 or 1.52 ACTUAL vcore to get it into windows...there is a big disparity between what the bios set vcore and what is actual...your only thrust is to set the bios vcore or Uguru vcore to give you what you need in actual terms..don't get wrapped around the axle about what is set in the bios or uguru
