Did anybody else notice how high the pll voltage spikes under load? My multimeter is showing 1.63v-1.66v under load with pll voltage set to 1.5v in bios. Dropping it down to 1.45v keeps it under 1.55v under load.

Is this a common problem or should I return this board for another one is 1.6xv safe for 24/7 use? I read that anything over 1.64v could cause degradation or death with these 45nm chips.

BTW, I got my Q9650 up to 4.4ghz @ 1.36v SS are in the Q9650 thread.
