What ere your load temps? 1.6 V should be fine as long as you have good cooling. Drop VCore if you are hitting 60C.

Yeah, thats a big OC from 3800 stock in terms of Core Clock and the voltage.
My 4600+ AM2 OC to 2.8 runs fine with really good temps and I have gthe same cooler as you ( I think) But I also have an awsome cooling case that keeps everything frosty as well as an in room Air conditioning unit.

I dont think you benefit much (if any) daily usage running cpu @ 2.8ghz vs 2.7ghz. I suggest lowering vcore to run stable @ around 2.7ghz. Your chip stays cooler and last longer.

for most ppl 1.55v on air is the max they feal safe with . I ran a 3200+ winy @ 1.6v for 2 years witha xp-90

OK now for some reason nothing over 2.5ghz is stable at default vcore.I dont care if its 255x10x3 with 1.4 or 1.5 volts .But on auto at 250x10x4 is 100% stable this makes no sense.Maybe i need a diifernt bios

Well i figued it out.I forgot to set the dram voltage ..lol At 250x10x4 cas 3-3-3-8-T1 it was fine with 2.6volts.But any higher it needs its rated voltage of 2.75v.So im now stable at 270x10x3 with 3-4-4-8-T1 and 2.73v and vcore of 1.4v

Looks like it's time to go higher then! Try 1.5v and make sure your ram doesn't hold you back

2.8ghz is max no matter what voltage and divder's i use. so im gonna stick with 2.7 or 2.65ghz.
