I have a very "low" voltage chip, or "golden" rather. Keep bumping up your FSB and running orthos for about five minutes at a time until you reach 4Ghz, then run orthos for no less than four hours. If unstable, be sure your memory has enough voltage, and the multiplier is correct. Then raise the CPU voltage little at a time. You may need to play with your boards MCH voltages too.

Keep it under 60c using Real Temp, and under 1.35v
