well i do see a setting called "CPU LLC" and its currently set to 1.5v. should i raise that to 1.6? i know the dangers if setting it too high.

Nope. You should just see an optiion that says Load Line Calibration and it has levels, not voltage.well i do see a setting called "CPU LLC" and its currently set to 1.5v. should i raise that to 1.6? i know the dangers if setting it too high.
The NB isn't part of the CPU as it is with modern processors. They are not related. Vcore is Vcore in this case.Does adding voltage to North bridge actually decrease vdrooo? Because when I had all voltages set manually to stock I experienced no crashes when I was stress testing at 445mhz
Yep, the board, most boards can clock FSB higher with a dual... its less stress as mentioned earlier. That and the game of FSB with memory and overclocking etc... welcome (back) to Penryn!!!!Also, it seems like i can push my e8400 on this board way above 4.10ghz if i had better ram.
Not entirely sure why that happens... are you certain they are runing at 2.5GHz? Can you confirm with a different piece of software... that doesn't make sense to me...But when it comes to the Q9650 i can also do the same but cores 2 and 3 will be at 2.5ghz for some reason (if i leave intel Speed step off).
Another reason is .04 droop isn't that bad in the first place and can easily be overcome by adding a bit more vcore. Also, is it vdrop or vdroop, they are two different things... One is the difference between the bios setting and idle in windows (drop), the other is the difference between idle and load (vdroop).Because why not if i can pull it off with something as easy with a pencil mod or simple soldering job?
