Im currently using bios 16 with my e8400. Currently I need at least 1.29v (set in bios) to get 3.6 and about 1.44v to get 4ghz stable. Would I see any difference if I were to change to bios 17? My gut feel says that I'm just very unlucky to have a chip that needs so much juice to run 4ghz. Wonder if this new release will magically make my chip require less vcore. If there's no diffence, i prefer not to update (updating this bios is not good for my heart, waiting anxiously for it to complete)
