With 45nm I would be easier on the voltages but even 1.7 is considered safe for 65nm but I stick with max 1.6 for 24/7 ops on 65nm... CPU VTT or FSB Term voltage is the so called dangerous setting for 45nm... They advise to stay below 1.4 at all times , for 65nm they support better higher volts so even there 1.4 is no prob... but if you can run it at eg 1.52 keep it there...

For 3.6ops try 1.45vcore then with the same settings might be needed to up some other voltage (PLL, FSB) try small first again to determine Vcore and then blend or co...

Ok, well 1.54 failed large FFT's after 17mins. I am back to 1.6PLL and still at 1.32VTT and 1.3NB. Is all this ok? With your settings I was passing small FFT's all day but when I switched to large FFT's I got quick failures at 1.3125. Is there anything else? Also I am kind of scared about turning off CPU TM and setting PCIE to 101 instead of 100 I have heard 101 can damage your video card, is that just a preference or is that something that is vital to keeping stability. I heard that a good rule about VTT is to keep it very close or slightly above your Vcore, is that right? So when I try for 3.6 I should keep all your settings the same except raise the VTT to match the vcore? Is that right?
