If ya want to keep it for a long time I would suggest to put it at 4ghz and keep it under 1.4Vcore in bios, if we see the voltages Jupiler announced most of us are running these beauties already out of spec even under 1.4Vcore...

i have a friend that haves same batch and does 5.1GHz or even more with 1.47v (at least that's what he says)

i might be missing something here...

help me out here, might be NB Voltage; GTL; DRAM frequency; Vcore;
SB Voltage; mem Config (i don't know)

I think you just lost a friend that would be a golden one to have 5.1ghz at only 1.47Vcore... most guys that breach 5ghz are already over 1.6 Vcore...

I will buy that CPU if he shows me proof
