1 - You have your vcore at ONLY ( :p ) 1.4375? Hehehe, I've got mine running at 1.45v. I've had Prine95 run over 24hrs with that much voltage and my CPU temps never went past 45C. But you're already hitting 46C with 1.43v though. I think that's probably max vcore for you. A lot of people...

Well, if you have already gone through Eclipse's OC guide, there isn't much I can suggest. You are already running on water. What temps are you running? I saw in your other thread what you did to get to 2.7GHz. What are your max settings for HTT, CPU, and RAM? How much voltage and at what...

Sorry for the late reply. I was in school. Anyway, what BIOS are you running? I went to Asus site and have the beta BIOS installed. My board originally shipped with the 1009 BIOS. I now have the 1011.001 beta BIOS installed. You might want to give that a try if you are comfortable...

Ok, this is going to take some time to see what your system should be able to do. I posted a link in my other post above. Run through the OC guide and write down your MAX for your board, CPU, and RAM. Remember that this will take some time. Be patient and post back here with your MAX stable...

Something is very wrong if you can't go above 205 stable. I have a 4800 running at 2.7Ghz. I've got mine running with 1.45v. Yes, the voltage does fluctuate between 1.47 - 1.48. I have found that with no load the board will actually add from 0.03v - 0.04v. With a steady load - 2 instances...

Just like HotkeyCC above, I'd go with dual-core also. I do a lot of multi-tasking and I like the idea of being able to play a game while ripping or burning something at the same time... Or run a defrag, virus scan, spyware scan blah blah blah, and play games at the same time without slowing...

Are you going to do any overclocking? Personally, I went with an X2 4800+. Gives me plenty for games while giving me extra juice to multi-task. If you are going to oc the Opterons are an excellent choice for that. As stated above my post, you might also want to consider an aftermarket HSF...
