So far these are my results on the latest official bios under load with 1.3 vcore 1.3 vtt, 1.56 cpu pll, 1.3 nb. That's about as high as this cpu will do for fsb and maintain stability.



EDIT: what about GTL what's the percentage of the vtt that you are suppose to use for 45nm cpu's and the p45 nb?
Most people wont set the CPU PLL higher than 1.6v however some will goto 1.7v, dont find out the hard way like I did by setting this to auto, otherwise the board will bang the full 1.82v through it. as for the CPU voltage, the gospel safe zone for CPU voltage is 0.20v above your CPU Vid, my CPU Vid (E8400) is 1.220v and I am banging 1.41v through it overclocked, just below the recomended, NB voltage I would say is pretty good up to about 1.55v-1.6v Max, but its gonna get toasty under there with that much voltage so aditional cooling will be required, As for GTL's, they are on Auto for me with a dual core, you can set them manually and get a tiny bit more out of your CPU, but to be honest I really cant be bothered with it for the extra I might or might not achieve, however they are more or less required to be set for good clocks on a quad core.
