And the BIOS settings looked a touch odd. While I set AI Booster to 1.375V, I saw lower values displayed by CPU-Z but the BIOS was set to 1.45V since that was the lowest value available. If I get brave later I'll retry 1.45V with no Booster just to see what kind of results I get. I still don't WANT to just leave things at 1.45V though...
Corrupted rar files are in my experience symptoms of the on-board network not liking the overclock. Here I can overclock my q6600 to fsb 350 but lage rar files over the local network are unusable. Around 340 things are much better. I tried everything I could think of raising all kind of voltages, but never found anything that improved matters.
