Also VTT is at 1.38v and 195 BCLK is the limit and runs cold as usual like all my previous CPUs, 75~77C in LinX with no comp case. My usual luck and then the RAM overclocks like a dream (also like usual for me, bad cpu but good ram), DDR3-2400 1.68v for Ripjaws 2000CL9 but I don't see the point of buying a new CPU in hope for a 100MHz better clock unfortunately even if 21x200 x12 had been a very sweet spot for my RAM too.
Something is seriously wrong here, dude. I have a i7 860 stable at 4Ghz HT with 1.275 volts (it's currently at 3.2Ghz on 1.08 volts cuz I don't do anything that needs that much firepower) -- hell, I managed to get it to 4.6Ghz HT benchable on 1.42 volts... so bad mobo, maybe?
