Anybody tried using Nvidia ntune to tweak the vcores inside XP ?

Hmm, guess I got a little over-excited in my first post :P

I can't seem to get Orthos to run for more than 20 min on anything over 3.4GHz. I can get into Windows fine and play games and everything all the way up to 3.60GHz, but not Orthos stable. I think I will just run on Priority 1 instead of Priority 9 to test for now.

At 3.42GHz with 1.4500 vCore I actually saw my temps touch 70 degrees. The Tuniq could be seated improperly, but I'm too lazy to take everything apart again and check, haha.

At stock speeds though with the Tuniq and Intel HSF I saw a difference of about 9-10 degrees idle and 15-16 degrees load, so that has me thinking my Tuniq is working fine.

Right now I'm just doing 3.24GHz (360 FSB) at 1.350 vCore and everything else stock. The memory I have at 4-4-4-10 at 2.04 vDimm and on Orthos I'm at 2 hours. Will let it keep running overnight and see if it's stable. The temperatures are under 40 idle and under 60 load and I'm perfectly happy running at this speed.

Maybe when the TR Ultra 120 comes out I'll try it and see if I can get better temps
