It was either the RAM or the mobo or both. Well, if there is so much headroom in the CPU, and if I can't exploting it in the form of overclocking more, why not lower the Vcore to make it run cooler? That's exactly what I did. The default Vcore for the CPU is 1.325V. I lowered it to 1.2375V which is a big deal, and I was happy when it ran Prime95 Small FFT test (i.e. the CPU stress test) for 15hours! w00t! (BTW, there is a heavy Vdroop on this mobo and CPU shows 1.192V at idle and 1.168V at full load)<img src="http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4746/prime9515hoursw00tgg5.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I tried 1.225V which is the lowest the BIOS would allow me to go, and it failed Prime after few hours. I wasn't upset, because I would be more upset if I found out that the CPU could go further down on Vcore when the mobo wouldn't allow me to <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
