Ive just overclock my system to 2.6. (144) 1500 core voltage

Now it seems to be o.k. at idle ..... and at running 3dmark2003 better marks than normal.From 3963 to 3719 at 42oc temps

My backup rig has a 2.4B, i have my vcore at 1.75 in the bios. It's running 2.9GHz.

Is that with Stock fan??

and is it stable when playing games?

It's with a Zaleman cooler. Tottaly stable for my use. Then again it's a backup, no real gaming on it or anything.

This should be in the Intel CPU section.

Sounds like you need to bump up the vcore a notch or two. Maybe try 1.55v since most IC7 mobos undervolt a tad. I do not recommend going above 1.6v with stock cooling and even with excellent cooling I would never run it above 1.7v. Make sure you have the PCI/AGP set to "fix" and "33/66", then disable the last two GAT settings in the Advanced Chipset menu.

I am using a 2.4b and have the vcore at 1.7 and its running at 3.15ghz.

I have a 2.4b running @ 3.3ghz. 1.65v w/droop mod on p4p800-d.
PAT/MAM options enabled and Turbo mode enabled.
