The system will boot and run past 4Ghz, but I get random crashes. I'm 99% sure that it's because I can't adjust the Vcore on this board to feed the CPU. Is there any way I can Volt MOD this motherboard so I can get a little more juice? I do have it stable at 3.9 Ghz. Which I'm fairly happy with at stock volts. But i'm wondering what a really good cooler and a little more power could do. any input would be awesome.

Thank you.

If its randomly crashing @ 4ghz, I doubt it is truly stable at 3.9 using stock vcore.

It seems pretty stable. I got it at 3.9 Ghz right now and it's been stable for me all day today (playing video games, GRID and BF2. I have gotten the odd crash when running certain apps. (Stress tests) But! I think I found what I was looking at in one of the previous posts. IT appears Intel has the layout of the voltage regulators. Gona check that out. What's a really good air cooler?/ water cooling setup?
