I've manually locked cores and ran the CPU up to 3.2 GHz on cores 1-3 with the fourth core disabled. Upon activating the fourth core, Windows won't even boot.
Anything above 2.8GHz on the fourth core seems to cause severe instability, even at absurd voltages: I've tried pushing the VCore as high as 1.6v (which would probably fry an Agena in no time), and it still failed at any sort of stability.
RAM speed, HT, and Northbridge are all running at slowest possible speeds. I'm pretty sure the core just sucks.
