Very interesting, tested and confirmed this myself and for this CPU Im finding bclk 130-133 to be optimal. For example, dropping to 100.00 x 50 requires 0.045v more on vcore for stability than 131.6 x 38.

Are all CPUs going to be totally different for optimal bclk or is a 130-133 range going to be optimal for several CPUs? I would try for myself but I only have 1 CPU here right now.

You may find that going to 125MHz and upwards is a bit more forgiving than 100 BCLK when it comes to Vcore on all CPUs (where possible).

Good info thanks. I dont think many ppl realize this and shoot for 100 x 50 or similar like they have been doing on SB-E and as a result have to use more vcore. Ive been running 132 all along but that was just out of luck bc it was what I needed for mem optimization.
