Instablility

Incrasing voltage should solve that, but you can reach the limit of a chip where increasing voltage doesn't make any difference.
tbh there's only one way to find out

Oh, and full load temp of 40C is pretty good, so no worries there, just keep an eye on it if you increase the vcore.

I managed to get to 3.001GHz completley stable. (142MHz x 21) It ran for about 2 hours in Prime 95 and load temp was around 40.5 Degrees. When I increased the FSB to 143MHz though, it would only run for 10 minutes before crashing. Had all my cooling up max and the chip was running at 1.6v apparently but under CPU-Z it told me its running at 1.58v.
I'll try increasing the voltage to the max my board will allow me, which is 1.65 I think. I don't really want to go any further than that so I suppose I might have to leave it there.
