I could probably tweak it more but it's running so i'll leave it. I am disappointed though as I was hoping for 500x8 at a minimum + maybe a lower vcore. Had I known this I would have definately gone for the 3.6-3.8+ oc on a quad core.

You are dissapointed getting a cutting-edge 4ghz Dual-core on air, that is within a safe Vcore range and temp for $190????? Holy smokes we are getting spoiled by Intel.

The FPS gain in Supcom is extremely minimal with a quad-core. As of this moment, quads are worthless for gamers. Id take a 4.0ghz dual over a 3.2 quad any day.

That video card is bottlenecking you more than anything. With good cards so cheap right now, I would handle that.

Yes, I am spoiled. I am less disappointed in the 4G number and more with the FSB limitation. I would have preferred the 4Ghz come in at 500x8 as opposed to the 445x9.

I disagree with the quad statement though. I had a chance to play with one and the gains were better with quad cores though I do know the video card is the primary bottleneck.

Mine does 500x8, maybe it's your mobo?

I am tired of repeating this.

IT IS NOT THE MOBO I just pulled out an E6550 that ran over 500fsb so I know for a FACT it is not the mobo.

Did a little more vcore tweaking and got this so far: http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/3968/475fsbci5.jpg
I actually came down a little on vcore and got in at 475 so I think it might just be getting hot. I didn't do any stability tests though but with some tweaking and if I actually take my time and properly apply my TIM and seat my heatsink well, I think 500fsb is a possibility.

Do you guys recommend turning off Speedstep and such when overclocking? or any other feature the reduces speeds while idle? if so are there any differences in Temperatures?

My VID shows 1.1125.
