What voltage does your 1.6A costa rica need?

I have the 1.6A/P4B266-C combo from newegg. Great rig; however, Sisandra and prime95 crash after a few hours. I am running at default voltage (1.5), 133FSB, 1:1, and turbo 1 with 2 sticks of crucial 256MB. Only thing I can think of is that I need to bump up the voltage. MBM5 reads 1.55 to 1.58 when I have it set to 1.5 in my bios. Is this an indication that my chip is trying to draw more juice?
 
Dont trust mbm...you got the asus probe right with the software....It seesm to run close to my hardware monitor in bios...Most boards are delivering a little below capabilities, so this is a new one for me...

<< Is this an indication that my chip is trying to draw more juice? >>

Likely an error from mbm or board is giving too much...what happens when prime95 is running does the volatge drop a bit???

I would up the voltage .25v and that should be fine...
 
I switched to PCprobe and did notice the numbers looked better. I still don't like how PCprobe doesn't reflect CPU temps below 40 deg. Running Prime95 probe says that I am at 1.55 volts. Idle it will fluctuate between 1.52 and 1.58.
 
I agree on the temp issue...I also agree my volatage jumps a bit too but usually stays within 4c idle and 2c load...I think that is fine as I have ran prime95 steady...
