but you can play further giving volts mate also i see you got an awesome PSU wish i had that you can have real fun with it...i have a low vid and im sharing the loop with the GTX285, higher vid quads require more volts but it's up to everyone if you decide to play with it, on the giga i pumped lots of volts and then my PSU starts shutting down i will swap for a corsair soon.

i benched it till 1,56vcore real / 1,75pll / 1,66vtt and 1,76 MCH and the 2x2 gskills till 2,4

I was using my 24/7 setup as an example. I am 3d stable @ 4.6Ghz but that is with 1.57V (In Windows) but i am unsure of how much more it can take.

How do you now how much VTT to give your cpu? I find if i give it more then a certain percentage of the vcore it stops letting me boot. Is there some sort of stage where it starts to help? Ie: for me at 1.4VTT it is unhappy but maybe above 1.55V it will start helping?

Thanks for your response.

About the PSU. It helped my MAX OC on GPU by 65 MHZ on the core which i was glad about.
