Don't skip page 41, the most important screenshots are on there. I used more volts than I should have because the dude challenged me and I was just out to prove him wrong and move on to other things. At least if nothing else, this shows it is more than doable. I've done it with Q6600, Q9550, and Q9650; all with 8GBs to boot.
