Prime run of 13hrs (we changed the clocks in the UK today
Clocks Change Back An Hour
so the 12hrs you see in shot = 13Hrs

)
13Hr Prime Stable (blend) 9x400@ 2.66C = 8:6 = Mem = 1064 VC = 1.425v
Bios = F5H_BETA
Don't usually use everest for screenie, but CPU-Z couldn't get the 1600(400fsb)strap

It took a bit of playing aboput trying to guesstimate the vcore.
The 1.425 is based on my p5k
bios setting 1.375v for the same clock + 0.0575 which was the droop i was seeing between
bios & load on the x38, that gives 1.4325v, on a whim I ran just below that.
Intrerestingly enough the actual according to cpu-z & mbm was 1.376v
comparing this to
Asus P5K @9x400 actual per cpu-z = 1.344v So I may leave it priming tonight at 1.40625v to see how that goes.
Update 29th
Reduced vcore & ran overnight, as i thought 1.40625vc has worked. When looking at the load vcore of 1.344v that's now the same as that shown on my p5k run so i'm happy.

Changes to

1) vcore 1.425 to 1.40625

VDroop
PQ6
Bios = 1.40625v
vcore idle = 1.392v
vcore load= 1.344v
vdroop 0.048v
Have read that increasing the
PCI-E Overvoltage Control and / or
FSB Overvoltage Control help reduce droop, i'll have a test and see if it does later.
