    Ok.. was running stock @ 1.14 volts... and then i overclocked to running 25x160 at only 1.20v Cpu and 1.25v Vtt , VDIMM 1.62 on UD3R and Cpu was fine..
    Moved it to UD7 and i cant load windows no more... BSOD saying Unrecoverable Hardware Error. Then Tried it on a RIIE as well.. Same BSOD. This thing just died !!
    Moved back to my 920's and both systems function perfectly so i know its not any busted hardware on either system.
    Batch 3005F584.. Now im sad
    Never tried disabling any cores or anything. The highest this chip has seen is 1.27v Vcore and 1.25v VTT

    For that we should thank BOTH (AMD and Intel) companies!
