The 1.85 Vcore is according to BIOS on an A7N8X-E mobo. cpuid shows the voltage flickering between 1.87 and 1.92, Everest shows 1.89. As for stable, I got a couple of crashes at 220 so I'm down to 216 and that seems to be OK. I think I'll need to voltmod the mobo to get higher FSB speeds. My criteria on stability are to be able to run SiSoft burn-in 4-5 time in a row, run 3dmark half a dozen times and play doom3 for a couple of hours without crashing or locking up. Not exactly scientific but it works for me. The temp in my room is around 70-75F, I'm idling at about 31-33C and if I open the window and turn up the fans I'll drop to high 20'sC. The CPU temp shows at most 4 deg difference between 1.6V and 1.85 under heavy load. My temps are taken from a probe attached directly to the bottom of the CPU. Temps using everest read 3-4C higher. I'd go higher on the vcore and vdd but I can't without Vmoding. (Give you one guess what my next project is)
