Naw, I don't think so. I'm running 1.42 vtt, 1.66 vdimm and 1.32 vcore (just 0.04 above my stock load vcore) with no issues at all, other people are running even higher volts. Some boards just seem to have these issues. Also I don't think I've heard of degradation with i7 CPUs, either they die (wrong VTT-VDimm) or they run.

Board degradation, maybe. See cstkl1's post. The thing I don't get here that DFI must have come to notice that there's a problem with certain combinations but there's no BIOS fixing this.

On a completely unrelated subject, anyone notice there just no specsheet out there on VT1165SF? I'm just interested on how hot they are rated to run.
