one thing you have to remember is that ET6 just show % values for ref volt so you cant go into the bios and put 0.76 and expect it to work.have you tried fatguy1992's template?

Well, Fatman's settings did not work for me at all. I then got pissed off and just put random (liberal) voltages through everything but the Reference voltages which I set to auto, and for some reason I managed to boot in windows, and have been priming for 10 minutes.....

I would still like someone to explain what's going on here, because I want to actually understand what I am doing.

Anybody know what the max safe voltages are for the motherboard and the quad? I still have that image of the VPLL at 1.85 V in my mind.

i'm guessing ur using ET6 to overclock??? dont, just go into the bio, and change setting, and dont use ET6 and see if u still have troubles. btw: pll 1.85v is high, 1.65v pll should be more than enough for the clock u r trying to run
edit: i never used ET6, maybe try uninstalling it than using the bios to oc, also when it is turning on and off it means failed to boot, failed oc and it trys to recover with stock bios settings, did u mean your mobo boots after this with different voltage everything and way off stock???

I'v only used ET6 to tweak some settings a few times. But yeah ET6 isn't good for setting up a 24/7 overclock etc.

Yeah, bro. I'd never go above 1.57v myself. I didn't select that 1.85V setting, ET6 did. Seriously, there's nothing "easy" about that program.

Well, now that I learnt to stay away from the reference voltages, I got my processor stable at 3.8ghz, primed for 2 hours. It's also stable at 3.9Ghz (primed for 15 minutes) but needs a voltage of 1.53v which is a bit high for my tastes. I'm now reading the GTL Reference voltage thread to see if I can reach any higher, with about 1.5v.

I'll think about it. 3.9 seems so tempting especially since my temperatures don't exceed 60C...

Still. What do you guys think should be the max VTT and MCH core voltage I should put through my setup? I'd rather increase those 2 from now on and leave my Vcore alone.

I suggest you read this entire thread. It should answer ALL of your questions.
