My e8400 needs vcore=1.29v in Bios for it to be stable @ 3.6. The rest looks the same except for my DDR2=2.1v. I didn't even bothered to find out how much this baby needs to be stable at 4!

Thanks vassalle, I am upping the voltage and running prime @ 375 now, so far so good. Any idea what the safe max for a E8400 is? Will take the FSB higher tonight.
Ok I am seeing people running as high as 1.45 vcore on the E8440, think I will try and stay below 1.3, I thought 1.29 seemed high

ABIT IP35 Pro Bios 16 - Intel E8400 3.0 ghz - CORSAIR XMS2 DHX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 - WD Raptor 150 GB - MSI GeForce 8800 GT 512
1.3625 is the max recommended from Intel. I have a poor batch E8400 and use all of that to stay stable at 3.8 GHz.

Any one tried crossfire X on this mobo? Does the performance loss really negate the other card ?
I'm considering 4850's in Crossfire or a GTX260 depending on price drops by the big two.
