Currently running a stable clock of 3.9Ghz. But my core voltage is kind of high during a Prime95 10 Hr stress test the voltage sat at 1.548V. My thermals look realy great only touching 54Deg C as a max. I Overclocked by upping the CPU multiplier, voltage, and LLC. The multiplier is set to 19.5x200. The voltage is set at 1.5325. LLC is basicaly shut off?? I belive set to the lowest % or one off. Is there something i can do to get my voltage down at this speed and still be stable? Is 1.548Core Voltage too high? I hear of people running 3.8Ghz at stock voltage 1.38 something Core Voltage.
 
Solution
I don't believe anybody can run 3.8 at that voltage. As long as your cooling is right over 1.5v is not a problem, at least it's not on my 965BE and GA-890 motherboard.
