Intel board no good for oc.Bios no oc option,only can use setfsb to oc.Not too bad,manage to get a E6550 on Intel G33 to 420x7,22hours occt stable.

Use window to oc.Setfsb is a good place to start.

Try real temp,need to calibrate through.As long as the DTS is not faulty,is is very accurate.

A new software.Find in XS.

IS CPUZ voltage reading trustable?I set 1.425 in bios and only 1.24 under load in CPUZ.My temp when load is 74 C,1.425V and Freezer 7 Pro which is along the line of what i except for 1.425v.

Depend on 45nm or 65nm.45nm is 1.4v and 65nm is 1.55v,the vcore i mean is for 24/7 usage

I am actually using some generic paste but that is the limitation of Artic cooler with that tiny flow fan Now using Xigmatek already

It is actually 1.24v due to old bios Now updated and now is doing 1.37V set(Drop to 1.34V) 4ghz 24/7

You need to add voltage when your system start to get unstable.
Here is some setting that should work:
500x8
1:1 divider
1.35vcore(Less or more,try yourself as it differ from chip)
1.33vmch
1.9~2vdimm(5-5-5-12)
And test stability using orthos.Just change the vcore to the lowest that will pass orthos in this setting:Custom,Priority 8,Large FFT=6144,FFT in place for 30minutes first until you can get the lowest vcore then do it for 12hours.
Good luck

Unstable could be a lot of thing.Could be cannot post,but most of the time is the rig start to act up.Sudden program crash or something like that is the sign of instability.
For daily use,timing difference is minimum.The difference only show in certain benchmark For daily,better to use low vdimm and looser timing
One more thing,4GB kit cannot do 1000 C4 It does however can do 11xx C5 so c5 is what you should use on your ram.

Could be your ram holding you back

Hey vig,how about dblooi mobo
Settle that case ASAP

AFAIK from dblooi,you still haven't help him rma the board

Yeah
