The past 3 CPU's I've had with this board required ridiculous volatges to achieve a decent overclock.
My E6600 which I sold ages ago required 1.525v to reach 3.4GHz and wouldn't go any higher. My old e8400 (which I have since sold on ebay) required 1.5v for 4GHz and my current e8400 requires 1.465v to reach 3.9GHz....
At first I thought I just had bad luck with CPUs, because the board doesn't have terrible vdroop (it's like 0.03v). Could it just be the board or is it most likely bad luck with CPUs? BTW the e6600 was bought new and the 2 e8400's are 2nd hand.
EDIT: It's the MSI Neo2 FR in my specs...
