Its a damn hot chip man but im ok with that because I does pretty good voltages like 4.5 is 24/7 stable at 1.29 its the motherboard im going to work on cooling better that way when I hook up my Single Stage I wont have to worry I can crank the FSB I want to do 32m at 680+ FSB validation at 700 but I think that is really pushing it with X48 I havent heard of any 700FSB validations as of yet
