    Can anyone comment on how bios 1005 compares to the previous ones, and 1102? In relation to both Gulftown and Bloomfield.

    Also, I have a issue I can't seem to figure out. Okay so according to Don and ctskl1, this board overvolts everything by 0.02v correct? I know this varies from board to board, but let's say it's around 0.02v. For me in the bios (1005), the DRAM voltage stays normal up to 1.627, but becomes yellow at 1.634. What does this exactly mean? I can't remember where I saw or read this, but the R3E doesn't want the memory voltage to be set higher than 1.65v w/o causing damage to the CPU correct? Is that why the voltage turns yellow at 1.634v? 1.634+.02v= 1.65v?

    I have a set of Dominator GTs 2000C8 MGH-E Hypers and want to know whether I should set them at 1.62975v in bios (~1.65v actual) or set them to 1.65625v. I have not tested the board with a multimeter. Can I rely on what the bios is telling me by yellowing the DRAM voltage? How much can you overvolt memory without damaging or degrading it?

    Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
