Hey folks, just wondering for those with 2500ks what voltages are you guys using for 4.4-4.5 ghz stable? I know every cpu isn't the same and the voltage can vary quite a bit but I'm just curious. Mine is currently set to 1.308 vcore @ 4.4 Ghz in the bios with all the power-saving features enabled (ran prime 95 blend and small ftts for several hours and it seems ok at the moment; I'll do more testing later). The system began showing errors if I drop the vcore even a notch lower. Are there any other settings I can fiddle with in order to get the temps even lower? I'm using a GA P67 D3 B3 and a Coolermaster Hyper N520 Universal CPU Cooler. The ambient temps are pretty high here but under prime 95 blend load, temps usually hover in the mid to high 60s.
