NKD, I don't personally believe you need to add 15c to the burn temps. I truely believe that the load temps of coretemp are correct. I think it's the idle that are between 9 and 12c low. I've done tests using coretemp on a 939 Lanparty using a very accurate thermistor against the naked die and coretemp was always within 2c of actual loads. What I'm observing on my new system is the same behaviour. However I'm not basing this with the thermistor yet, but only against bios temps vs bios cpu shutdown temps against ambient temps (using another probe for that). To me it's strickly the idle coretemp reporting low. I truely feel your 50c is actual for water, that is consistent with my 939 Opty at the same vcore, with coretemp against bios and verified via ntc micro thermistor. I'm currently running 60-66c at your speed and vcore with the exact same system as you. That's at 28c ambeint (system not in it's case yet). I was only able to get 3.9 stable for 5.5 hours. When I left to go to work my sp2004 failed, It was at the time that my room started becomming hotter during the daytime. I know it was reaching near 70c (coretemp) when I left.
yes idle temps were the ones bothering me, but now my temps have dropped to 47c reported by rightmark utility, which is probably rated number one i heard and 50c-53c with core temp, it goes up and down, but rightmark is dead steady at either 47c and 50c. depends on how the cpu is being stressed.
well i was talking about orthos not stressing it more is because, it runs the same instructions over and over, and sometimes it runs the same instructions as prime 95 25.2. it just depends on its mood i guess.
also, i have had a computer run 8 hours orthos stable and fail with prime 95 with in an hour, so i started using this version of prime.
and to ur question about my memory, i am running it at 5-5-5-12. the ram is rated at 4-4-4-12, but i am having issues with this board so decided to loosen the timings a little, i had an evga 680i and the same ram was running up 980 with 4-4-4-12 with 2.2v, but this board the max i can get my ram is 880mhz, with 2.2v and looser timings. i am trading with the one guy, my 4gb for 2gb of corsair dominotors pc2-8500 this week, but right now i am only overclocking with 2gb of ram.
well here is my oc with one complete loop of prime 95, the second loop just started. the picture was taken a few minutes before the loop finished.

Im happy @ 3.8ghz. 1.5vcore is good enough. anything higher on air is not worth it. Waiting for watercooling.
But even then. 4ghz will take 1.55-1.6vcore. which is technically raping your cpu to :banana::banana::banana::banana:. lol I dont believe 1.6vcore on any cpu is smart. doesnt matter how cool you make your chip. Its about the votlage going through it.
well if u really look at it, its only 1.54 going thorough it, i have it set at 1.60 in bios just to be on the safe side, its just everyones preference, i wont go any higher though, i really look at the actual core voltage i dont like it being 1.6. i can live with 1.55 actual. i used to have an athlon fx chip and still have that old system in my dad's office it was oc'ed with 1.6vcore and actual was around 1.55 under load and is still running till this day. been almost 2 years i believe. it was my rig before i got on core2 bus lol
well here is another oc at 3950.
so far the same voltage and i increased the vtt, and i have had an hour stable and still going, i will leave it overnight and hopefully it is good enough.

1.6 on water is fine anyway what 1m superpi scores you getting with 3950!
3.800 MHz
1,344 Volt:

What software program are you using there for temps!
Do ES E6850 count?
Yeah!
3.76 stable 1.375 hoping for more soon!

bench @ 5280Mhz, but freez freez during save :p

That is a amazing overclock! what memory are you using!
GEIL 8500 Plus 2x512 ;)

Hahaha now we're talking! 5315 is still on a cascade or is that LN2?
i've said 2stage cascade by Skirms :D

:eek:
alright so car 6+ hours stable at 3.95GHz 1.53-54vcore loaded, and still counting, waiting to see the 8+ hour mark complete than i will try to overclock more, coretemps are 47c by right mark utility. will update with some super pi scores as soon as i hit 8 hour stablility mark.

Your getting there to the magic 4ghz!
On AIR :D 4GHZ Here I come:shocked:

well finally 3.95 stable. i stopped it after 9 hours

well 1mb pi screenshot. as somone asked.

Damn, I ordered a E6850 a week ago, still not availble :(
Great overclocks, can't wait to play with it, the cpu that is :)
Got a modded prom and a Chilly one unit here, these are waiting for some action.
P5K and some OCZ Titanium VX2 that are doing 650mhz without a hickup.
Where did you order it from!
