Looks like I have the 8-8-8-22 stable in prime again. tRC=31 tRRD=1 tWR= 10
mem 1.94 volts.

I was just reading the Q9450 thread and guys are saying this chip doesn't need alot of vcore but needs lots of vtt and vNB.

I think I'll go silly and crank the NB to 1.56 RAM to 1.96 and Vtt to 1.5 see if it'll hold @ FSB 1780. My whole board is under water so probably not an issue.
