apesoccer, I know your pain. ASUS just can't seem to get their vcore stable. I'm hearing the new A8N32-SLI has also the vcore problem with X2s. Curiously it doesn't seem to affect single core procs. While I still think I made a right choice between this board and DFI - because I *actually* use SLI and the space between 2 PCI-E slots matters - but I just don't understand why ASUS can't get this fixed.
Another stupid thing (probably intentional), is what's the point of making an *enthusiast* board with all the bells and whistles, and limiting its vcore to 1.5V? (Depending on the BIOS it could be 1.45V!!) Yeah.. so they can advertise it as "OC-friendly" and when a user actually tries to OC, s/he gets frustrated because s/he can't use any of those OC features..
Anyhow I'm settled at 250x11 now with my X2. My cpu wants to go a bit higher but I can't let it because of the dancing vcore. I don't want my system to crash.
