Hi everyone, when I first built my system last year, my core i7 920 @ 4.2 required about 1.3v to be stable. After I would update my bios every so often, the core i7 would require more and more voltage to be stable. I'm now up to 1.4Ghz after 3 bios updates within the past year for it to be stable. I know, it's on the edge of ridiculous, but I'm keeping watch of the temps and it rarely ever goes over 80C. I'm reading that other people are feeding it 1.3Ghz and it's stable for them, so why not me? Thanks in advance!
