cannot handle 4ghz??
i even primed 4.1ghz@1.475v for over an hour and ran vantage at 4.3ghz@1.55v. i donīt know how u cooled ur pwm, but just because it has no fan on the heatsink doesnīt mean that it will run cool without ventilation. and a case fan isnīt really enough to cool the pwm heatsink.
this board can handle a thuban at 4ghz very well...
