Thought I'd post my OC results on the off chance that someone might find it useful. My 4400+ has been running at 2.75GHz per core for the last two weeks - 250 FSB 11X Multiplier 2750 MHz @ 2-3-3-8 RAM settings. I've even been gaming, downloading, and converting tons of video like a fiend too - often at the same time. I'm not using the supplemental power inputs on the MOBO, but I have had to compensate for initial dips in power on the 12 volt and 5 volt rails using the True Control front panel. Though I set the chip at 1.45 volts in BIOS, Smart Guardian reads the voltage at 1.55. I included my BIOS settings below. Temps after several hours of Quake4 while downloading at the same time have never been over 39C. Tends to run idle at 33C and 36-38C under load. Maybe I just got lucky. :D
