I am a first timer, I've found Extreme Patience + Attention to Detail = GOOD RESULTS,
For ME, I've found the 1102 Bios to be extremely unstable with overclocks, with regards to cpu multiplier.
I switched back to 1003, I have this set at 4.1 GHz (210 PCIE/Bus) 19.5 Multiplier Running EXTREMELY stable core temps idle 10 , Under Load 27 (degrees Celcius) 29/37 Proccessor as a whole. Keeping in mind I want a 24/7 O.C. So Stability is key. (Should be for ALL overclocks. (core temps idle 7 degrees C overnight :D) I believe that this is a strong beginning to start crawling into all that "headroom" this puppy boasts.
