that just doesnt sound right either but u may have grabbed a diffrent version i guess, but both my DFI run SG flawlessly! Also SG is what DFI uses as the "grail of diagnostics". so it should function...also the fan setting may be cranked up in the settings! oh and i run SG with fans full on and bios set to 25*

Better yet post that question to the 15,000 plus members of DIY Street the official forum of DFI and overseen by them. See what they say aswell by the way mine hits 60c+ sometimes and I'm stable at 3.1ghz at 1.475 volts on my Opty 170. Prime all day. Also 2.9 ghz at 1.39v all day aswell. If you ask that question you might get a check the forum post before asking a question thats been answered a hundred times. It doesn't matter he does need to put more voltage into that chip thats why it's not stable. He also might want to cool his PWM area as well . This can also be caused by your ram getting too hot heating that area up. My ram DDR 500 does this. I'm also taking a personel intrest in this because I sold him his chip and want him to succeed in his over clocking.

BTW that isnt the DFI sponsored site any longer the new site for them is.....

Ok, after playing with the voltages for awhile, and putting an "Antec Spot Cool" over the PWMIC, I was able to get stable with some good temps. PWMIC temp dropped almost 15c with this fan.I do think SneekyPeete does have a point about the PWMIC temps. There was a clear line for me of stability vs instability when PWMIC went above 55c. Right now, at full load, CPU-48c (w/stock cooler and AS5) Chipset-41c PWMIC-44c. I might try to get a little more out of this Opty, but I'm not sure I want to raise the voltage anymore. I'm happy with the results so fair.

Hey paul this might help aswell http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835119011 these are kinda cool for not just ram but any dead spots in your case. I also have a Antec spot cooler but because my Cpu cooler is so Darn large I cannot get it to my PWMIC area . However I notice my DDR 500 is heating that area up so this will handle that. I'm not having any in stablilty trouble, but I bet this fan helps my ram go over DDR 560. Which its stuck at right now.
