Be careful with that though, since uneven application could lead to hotspots on the die and a dead chip.
I got the crosshair V formula I ordered on ebay, well you were in fact right. It does slightly better than the 890GPA which shows how good this motherboard was. I got finally 4310 mhz rock stable with 1.545v. I can get 4400 mhz stable for some 5 mins but it takes huge voltages of about 1.575v ... Not suited for 24/24h usage. So I will settle for 4.3 ghz.
Im considering buying a FX 8350 as they are cheap and delid it, I just wonder if it will make a difference compared to thuban @ 4.3 ghz.
