I'm posting my 3.7Ghz OC template in the hopes it will help some other noobies like myself. It's nothing special. Maybe it will help someone as a starting point for their system. The only voltage I set was my DIMM voltage, every other voltage I left at Auto. My original memory timings were 8-8-8-24. This template passed 50 runs of Linx / All memory and 13 hrs of P95 / Blend. I am getting core temps between 75-80 and Vreg temps of 75, but I think it's due more to poor case cooling than high voltages. I'm happy with what I have, and, at the moment at least, not ready to push further. I tried 180 CPU Host Freq, but got a BSOD. I didn't pursue it to find the cause.
Hope this helps someone in some way.
