Has anybody else been able to do likewise? I discovered its stability at a lower voltage when for some reason amd overdrive forced the voltage down to 1.25 (I have over clocked a bit more so I needed more voltage). Anybody else had such success?

Some system specs:

M3a32-deluxe mobo

8GB ddr2 1066mhz RAM (its at a slightly lower clock at the moment because I'm working on the CPU, could that be the reason?)

EVGA 1792MB GTX275

(overclocked by raising FSB to 235mhz)

i can definitely confirm that you can under volt and overclock the amd 955 be. my first one is running at 3.6ghz on 1.25volts, unfortunately my second amd 955 be cannot do the same. i get BSOD. 3.4ghz and 1.3volts i can manage.

Ok any help with getting the RAM faster? I have some corsair platinum 1066mhz ddr2 and if I put it back to the stock ratio (3:8) or something like that, I get an increase nearing 1300mhz, which my RAM can't handle even though I have pumped 2V through it (what I'm comfortable with supplying it). Right now at the next ration down it is running at around 960mhz.

Then that will be settings that you should use for the memory. 1300mhz is far too much for 1066 rated ram, as you obviously have figured out, heh. You will probably still need to keep the voltage up, though.
