Umm I was just replying to BRSG, and don't rely on me, I'm just quoting what I read here ealrier in the thread regarding an earlier bios. No clue as to if the board overvolts have been fixed in 1406 bios. I know the Corsairs (from this and other threads) are quite tolerant on voltage

Okay, had an interesting day; tried reduced Vcore volts but failed prime after a couple of hours.

What I have now is a good 6hr test on prime of 1.35volts and 0.63 (both) GTLs. I know it seems a lot but this chip has always needed 1.34375volts for 3.6 stable

I'm running high 60s deg c with first core max 72deg C
This is in real temp with the intel recommended Tgmax

I'm actually very happy as:

1. temp maxes out there
2. 3.6 is fully stable
3. I have working speed step
and
4. I can shutdown from software

Kudos to the board and highroller; my shutdown problem disappeared when I reduced the GTLs and increased core

I am now using performance for cpu margin

Next stop is Vistax64 reload for ACHI mode and then RAM tweak (most left at default)
