Guys, maybe someone can enlighten me.
I have been overclocking my Phenom II 965 and noticed while priming that the cpu drops voltage and clocks like a throttle back, but cool and quiet is disabled and it is not temperature related.
I have been testing and discovered setting anymore than 1.5v cpu voltage in bios cause this, like I said its not temperature related because I turned off the rad fans and pushed the temp up beyond its normal temps by a good 10 degrees, as long as its 1.5 or less no "throttling" any more and it does, even made sure it wasn't the clockspeed related, seems its the voltage that triggers it... spec in sig, any ideas what the problem is, mobo related maybe ?

I guess you lot are as confused as me !
Does anyone have this mobo and cpu combo and is pushing over 1.5vcore without hwmonitor reporting it taking drops to around 1v and cpuid reporting times of 4x multi when priming on max heat/ power consumption cycle ?
