I am finally stable but I notice that my system seemed more responsive with everything on auto seems like my memory is holding me back.

Its more responsive now but im not sure how stable it is.. what else can i tweak to get a little less latency.. time to prime blend tonight..

Biggest latency drop is to be expected when putting Static read control to enabled, then test thoroughly, if all is okay maybe you can put the clock twister at moderate... test again and then try the lowest stable PL level... will be 7-8 ish depending on OC, RAm and co...

If all works out you will get a nice increase, though don't expect miracles...

For such a small price difference between the two and having temp read-outs and more options in the BIOS I would have to agree. Unfortunately my board was just goofy from the get go and a couple of days later it just up and died w/o warning or explanation so I can't honestly recommend it to someone else.

Well if I can sell the dlx I might try out the MF II, did you replace the TIM and modified the NB attachment ? Seems ram wise it's a tad better than the Dlx...

Does anyone know how far the motherboard pushes the CPU PLL voltage when set to "auto", it seems that my system is just as stable with the setting on auto at times and was wondering if that is because it is setting this value to a higher limit that is dangerous to my CPU?

I don't know the exact number but I'm pretty sure it was over 1.75... so pretty lethal for 24/7 use with a 45nm CPU...
