COB I have a question for you. With all the great advise your giving LUCI5R, I am assuming you are quoting BIOS settings but not real voltages? I ask this as when I set vPLL BIOS to 1.54v the real is 1.632v. Am I correct that you are quoting BIOS settings? If so then LUCI5R may also be over the <=1.6v guideline that we have been discussing.

LUCI5R can and do you record your BIOS Thermal Monitor voltages versus your BIOS settings?

Thanks for any input you can give.
