    dejanh, I'm having some trouble with the ratios theory here.

    I've had two different settings pass 12h ond 8h Prime95 stable on two different bios versions and it definitely doesn't follow the "rule" you stated.

    Setup number one does not follow the rule but it's stable. Setup number 2 does follow the rule and is also stable. The one constant is that the QPI stays below the 4GHz threshold. Could that be all that's required?

    I've also tried on bios F4k and I've been having some stability issues with BOINC that I haven't worked out yet. Of course, all of this on the stock cooler doesn't help.

    1) Bios F2 - Bclk 160 - RAM 10x - UC 20x - QPI 18x


    2) Bios F4l - Bclk 200 - RAM 8x - UC 16x - QPI 18x
