radaja,

Wow, that's very low Vcore for 4.2GHz stable and excellent temps - what cooling are you using?

M.Fixit,thank you.in that shot i finally was able
to lower my vcore from 1.206v in bios to 1.200v.
as to cooling im on water,and for the LinX run i used
a vent hose from my airconditioner to keep the temps
down low.the hose blows 5c air directly into my rad.
i thinks thats what is helping me with being able to
lower the vcore.

still cant get the computer to boot at 210x20
at 207x20 it boots but crashes while loading windows.
but ill keep trying

Radaja,

Well, I guess that clears things up in my mind - there had to be a reason why you were running so cool Care to elaborate on your w/cooling components?

As for running at 210x20, try with turbo on (21 multiplier) - I have read that 200x20 seems much harder to get working. BTW - my UD5 boots at 220 bclk, and I can get into Vista at 4.62GHz with a little over 1.325v. Its not stable though
