@Dave: What voltages are we talking here?

I think I have to use something like 1.5v to get ~3.5ghz stable. >_<

hey dan, about those liquid cooling fluid things they sell that you mix with distilled water, are they really necesary (or better) or can you just use antifreeze?

I just use antifreeze (About a 10:90 mix freeze:water).

The only purpose they serve is to keep nasties growing in your loop. I guess some of the fancy ones double as dyes? But if you aren't really bothered about that then there isn't much point.

1.7v on the cpu to get orthos stable. 1.6v for game stable @ 4Ghz

I actually replaced my [email protected] because it required 1.6v for orthos stable. I purchased the E6850 on a whim and hopes of 4Ghz. Well it does it but not to my liking ;)
