Hi again, I've tryed something else now that I've read more information about secondary voltage settings. So I've bumped the VTT voltage from 1.20 (stock=1.10) to 1.30v AND also raised the "Clockgen Voltage Control" from 3.45v to 3.60v since the next step was like 3.9v... then I wanted to see if at 4.41Ghz I could go beyond that 17min wall with a blend Prime95 because without this voltage bump, 4.30Ghz worked 10 houres. Unfortunately it still failed at 17min and 19min for the other core.

It was also recommanded to raise a little the PLL voltage to gain stability at high fsb, stock being 1.55v (Intel maximum says 1.575v) but in the DFI bios, the next closest step is 1.75v which is way too high (-_-). So now what should I try. Raise even more the VTT voltage, raise my NB from 1.57v to 1.61v, cry and go back to 4.30Ghz? It was pretty unclear about how to set the VTT, do I have to set it as close as possible to my Vcore but never 0.3v over my Vcore? If yes, then what happens when the system goes in "Thermal Management/EIST" and lower the frequencies + the voltage of the cpu to 1.31v, my VTT will get much higher so it will cause damage?!? x_x
