At first I thought my E8500 has degraded but it wasn't. With 1.35v I can pass 10 loop IBT @600x7.5 without a single problem. But with 1003 BIOS no matter how hard I tweak still a no-go although an increase of vCore might help a bit.
im using 1003 and im running my E8600 @4.5 gigs @ 1.29 volts 24/7 stable I dont know dude I think certain hardware doesnt agree with 1003 but saying that I also up different voltages before touching my Vcore ive found upping the vcore from say 1.3 to 1.36 might get something stable or keep the vcore at 1.30 and up the nb two notches and the pll or vtt and with 1003 it is more picky with things like that
