Hello All,

I just installed my q9650 last night and I needed you help with the "optimization of my O/C.

I am sitting pretty at 4GHz and just finished with an 8 hour prime95 run without any issues.

I am happy with 4 GHz for now and will probably keep it here without a real need to go higher.

I did have a couple of questions:

1. I have a temperature split on the 4 cores when I am at idle. they are
37-37-32-34

Is this anything I need to be concerned about?

2. My Load temps are:
61-59-59-60

I think these look good, what do you think?

My template is below: Please help me optimize!!
