Hmm i asked around before getting this CPU if my PSU will handle it.
they all said yes. but looks like only for a stock

My x2 4850(45w) oc'd to 3ghz idles at 25 and max is 45.
I think the one i have is a 95W as my mobo only supports UPTO 95W CPU. but still yeah big difference from my 65W AMD X2. so i guess it normal?
because i reseated the heatsink 3 times. and forgot its 30W greater.

OK.. @ 1.26V , its load temps on prime = ~58-59C (remember its Winter in Australia lol)
so Informal and Socket and everyone else, it makes me think twice at going anymore than that (and i wont unless i get a better heatsink later on).

I tried the 12x multi with a 8x, 9x, 10x NB Multi it bluescreened at prime.

so i thought let me see if i can OC it via FSB
so i dropped the multi to 10x and NB @ 7x and raised FSB.
my RAM in CPUZ read at 417Mz since i set it to 667.
when i ran a BLENDED TEST (tests RAM) it bluescreened, when i ran the SMALLTEST (CPU mostly test, little ram test) it didnt, AND I WAS ON 2.8Gz!
so should i down the ram to 533 or 400???

So far the most stable running prime for 10hrs was @ 2.7Ghz with a 11x multi, 7x NB multi, 245 FSB, 1.26V and 667 RAM running @ 405mhz
I left 2T ENABLED and didnt set the timings as its on AUTO CPUZ reported it at 5-5-5-15-20 is that good?
