To start off I have read:

The first article suggests running the ram 1:1 w/ the FSB, the 2nd suggests the 266/667 and 333/800 straps, I'm currently running 1:1 (333/667). Adjusting the GTL's hasnt been very sucessful for me, only two of my '30min's 4xPrime95 stable' settings has had GTL values (vice GTL disabled (ie 110 for all 3 values).
I'll try to give as much info here as possible w/o making this too long. If someone can get me more on the right path, I would be very grateful. Here are the stable settings I've achived (30min's stable is my goal right now, not 12hrs, that will come later)
1.33Vcore, 366x9=3294MHz, 2.12Vddr, 1.53Vnb, 1.60Vvtt, GTL 115,115,117
1.375Vcore, 377x9=3393MHz, 2.11Vddr, 1.53Vnb, 1.60Vvtt, GTL disabled
1.392Vcore SmartGuardian (SG) under load
49Ccore/55Cpwm/43Cnb
1.425Vcore, 386x9=3.475GHz, 2.15Vddr, 1.45Vnb, 1.33Vvtt, GTL 90,100,100
[1.435Vcore, 2.06Vddr, 1.31Vvtt]SG values under load
And here is some values that make me thing im doing this like a clueless tard (ie, using way too much voltage to achieve stability rather then the finess this board allows):
2nd link (AT review) suggests 1.37-1.43Vcore for 450FSB (450x8=3.6GHz)
8x465=3.722GHz 1.4375Vcore 1.65Vnb
450x8=3.6GHz 1.39Vcore 1.61Vnb 1.6Vvtt
My cooling: I have a TT Kandalf w/ stock pump/res/radiator right now. Which i thought was quite bad but after some reading, its not really all that bad, but I've already got new swiftech stuff en route, but until then this is what I got:
P500 pump (or whatever), 3/8" ID tubing, Apogee GTX, MCW30 chipset cooler, MCW60(8800GT, but all its doing this whole time is idleing, so not a factor). I have an Antec SpotCool on my PWM passive cooler and another on my RAM (which is F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820231145. I've used memtest86+ to verify its good up to 1100MHz) but I also have some OCZ2P8004GK (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16820227248) around as well, if anyone thinks I should be using those instead, please advise. I only got the OCZ up to 1000MHz in memtest86+ and I've read enough to convince me that RAM latency (CL) is not an issue (unless 1-2% real world performance increase means anything to me, which it doesn't).
Well at this point I'm just babbling, so I turn to you now for your direction.
