I'm having trouble with an i7 860 that I've got for the latest revision of my ITX rig. The chip runs fine at stock settings, and 3.2GHz at stock volts, but as soon as I try to push up around 3.5GHz, it immediately locks up on Prime95, even with up to 1.35V going through it. I'm pretty sure an 860 should be stable to well above 3.5GHz @ 1.35V. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
