Load Line Calibration only refers to the CPU voltage, no other voltage IIRC.

From my understanding, all Core 2 CPUs Tj Max is 95C. I believe Everest and Real Temp uses 105C as the Tj Max. If you look at Core Temp, you'll see that the program now lists the Tj Max for Core 2's as 95C

Noted above.

I want to hook up my 9800GTX to windows via D-sub, and a different series Nvidia card or an ATI card to Mac OS via DVI.
I believe you can depending on the OS. Best way to find out is by testing it... if you can.

I was much more impressed with memtest86+ v2.01. This is the one from http://www.memtest.org/. The one from memtest.com is memtest86 v3.4 (notice there is no plus sign). memtest86 v3.4 had my CPU listed as pentiumIII. That shows you when the last time they updated it was.

Anyway. I figured out my problem. It was from a Saitek back lit keyboard being plugged into a Dtek USB hub . The problem is reproducible. I need to do some more testing, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Rampage or the RAM or the E8400 (so sad, I was hoping for a chance to RMA cause 3.9Ghz at 1.4v sucks).

This FAQ was very helpful in figuring out my problem, especially the part about getting rid of all unecessary components. You'd think common sense would have told me to do this, but it didn't. http://forum.x86-secret.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14 If you have any questions about memtest86+, this is the place to go. The guys seem very dedicated to solving any problems that may occur.

The good things about this whole ordeal is that I really got to learn about the settings on the board. "DRAM controller reference voltage" still alludes me as well as the GTL settings. I haven't messed with them yet.

On a side note- I realized that the power connector for the CPU has a cap over half of it. I originally had a four pin PSU connector plugged into it. Tonight, I took the cap off and plugged in the eight pin connector. The difference is two more yellow (+12v) wires. Could this make a difference in anything? Is this for quad cores maybe? Maybe I can get some more out of my E8400.
As far as my experience has gone, USB hubs always seem to give users more issues. As far as the 4 pin and 8 pin CPU power connector. The 8 pin power connector is there for CPUs that are rated for 130 WATT use such as the Intel Extreme Edition CPUs. Although, it won't hurt to have it utilized when using a non extreme edition CPU. If anything, it might help with stability.
