However, I cannot get to 2.5 to save my life I get lockup at load screen or the infamous BSOD. I've tried adjusting the FSB, the memory to 5/3, latency to 3. Nothing seems to work. But it runs Sacred just fine at 2.41.

I have bumped up the voltage to 1.8. Maybe I have to go higher? Or it may be that I am running into the max that this proc will go. Even so 2.41 isn't a bad OC at all. Just jealous over all the ones running 2.5+ on air

If you're running at 41C load with 1.8Vcore, you can EASILY get away with upping that voltage a bit. Depending on how much money you're willing to risk, you could even try 2 V. But I'd keep it below 1.9V unless you're willing to replace your proc after a year or so.

Watch your temps though. They really start climbing once you get above a certain point with the mobiles.

I typically upgrade once a year. So as long as I can get 12 months outta this proc I'm gold. I'll try 1.9 tonight. But I won't go any higher, if I can't get 2.5 on that, I'll just have to be satisfied with what I can get.

Until I think of something else to try that is
