thanks for sharing these settings, what ram do you have? my pair of 4gb ocz reaperx pc8000 doesnt even boot at the next higher divider which makes it go at 1110mhz... i bought mine at the beginning of the year, ive read that the new versions have different ICs on them and from what i can tell they go much faster than the sticks i have

i will lower the sb voltage and see if it will still keep priming stable... are 45nm's more susceptible to damage from sb core voltage than 65nm's?

now that i know the gtl and vtt combination for my q9450, i think i can try to start lowering the vtt and bring the gtl settings down one by one... before this it was majorly unstable and any gtl settings ive tried only made it crash quicker or slower... but for now i consider my job to be done, that is to get my computer running at the speed it used to run during the winter, like the time before i had to take the q6600 out because its overheating, wont even encode mp3's without crashing, and now i am running prime at 55 degrees load instead of 75 degrees load

and one last question, maybe im just abit out of touch but i thought c1e and eist made overclocking impossible?

btw thats 714 bios i think
just clock your sticks slower

do you mean you have the 714 bios? im not sure which bios version i have
'clock my sticks lower' , that means use a lower divider? or lower my fsb?

also, i think i have found a good way of dealing with the bowing of the board from not using a backplate when you have the cpu heatsink or waterblock on too tight... i had some silicon fan push-through mount things i got from one of the 'silent fans' ive bought and i stuffed them right under the edge of the motherboard where it was bowing the most, straight up from where the cpu socket is, and the pressure from these things is enough to push the board straight... i also stuffed a couple under where the pwm area is so that the heatsink over there will have more pressure with the pwm chips, because the bowing from the pressure of the cpu mounting can bend the pwm chips away from the heatsink

::edit:: dang, the first core failed prime after 1 hour with my southbridge voltage at 1.54v...now trying with a lower vtt and vcore setting, maybe my gtls were abit too low to be stable at the voltage i was using before this, and maybe a lower vtt would match up with them nicely... setting the host slew rate to 'strong' really did make a difference, wouldnt have known that if it werent for you guys

i will try the 714 after i get my e8600
the bios setting wizard gave you are from bios 714
you should try 603 its verry stable
