Hopefully this board isn't that dead yet, I was hoping to get alot more out if it. Just can't seem to part with Abit even though they will be parting with us soon.

Hi, this was my settings when I was at 3.8GHz:

Vcore: 1.32V
MCH:1.37V
CPU VTT: 1.13V
ICH: 1.12V
DDR2: 1.95V (4-4-4-12 1:1)
ICHIO: 1.70V
DDR2 REF: +2%
CPU GTLREF 1&3 0&2: 63%

I have done the Vdroop mod and the motherboard is fully watercooled and the processor too.
With BIOS 17 seems to be the best for that processor, temp are reported correctly as well.
With a good cooling you can reach 4Ghz without too much trouble, this motherboard is still awesome.

Enjoy your overclocking!
