dont know if this is good or bad but i know one thing it really turn the cooler up the Corsair Hydro Series H50 was at a full speed Push and Pull set up…idle temp 35c load temp 43c to 45

Note that 1.4V and 1.45 all rebooted under stress but at 1.5 all was stable strange i hope i am doing all of this correctly my chip is a 955 Phenom II C2 version.. if any one have any ideal on this please let me know you can e-mail me at sostand@hotmail.com

Here is my personal experimentation proof. Stock core clock, and trying to OC just my NB to 2.8, everything else stock. At 2.8 anything under 1.50v CPU-NB nets me unstable, so, i figured i would test out what my NB vid would do in terms of helping this situation. I set my CPU-NB to a knowingly unstable vid, just one notch below 1.50 (stable) and went for an extreme 1.30vid on the NB...now my thinking behind this is...if 1.30 doesnt get it stable, nothing between stock 1.1 and 1.3 will get it stable. Well, it was not stable. That is my "proof" for saying NB vid does not affect the stability of the NB. However, upping my CPU-NB vid to 1.50 netted me prime stable for around 5 hours before i decided to start on my core. Under my own personal testing, i have found NB vid does NOTHING for stability.
