I always have power slope enabled. What is P95?

I can't see voltages in Windows. Some reason CPU-Z and Core Temp both read my voltages at the default voltages no matter what I set it to in BIOS.

The thing that doesn't make sense about the RAM to me is at 3.24 GHz with the RAM at 4-3-3-4 233/566 and 2.16v, I can refresh the latency test in Everest non stop and no problem at all.

At 3.46 or 3.51 I can't even refresh it once at 5-5-5-18 233/566 and 2.16v.
not 50 passes of all the tests..ugh

50 passes on test 5...this about 1 hr -1.5 hr max

test 5 ..always seem to be the one that failed for me if I pushed too much and if I dont get 50 passes(like i said once i hit like 38 passes amd then got memory errors), i get issues..ie dvd burns for example..yet Prime 95 passed fine

I personally like Prime 95 version 2.51....but orthos is fine but uses older version of prime, FWIW

when i set 3500..390x9 with ram at 487mhz(266:533) 2.16v 5-5-5-18...I can pass 50 passes on test5 but I could not get 3Dmark05 to run without pushing vcore up...it seems the cpu is getting stressed but I thought the memory controller was on the nB and not on the die of the cpu
with the opterons/A64 dual cores...if you pushed ram speed/timings this was common problem and I would need more vcore
I was surprised this happened on my C2D

I did not push past 1.6v on mch to see if I could get 266:533 stable at 5-5-5-18(also it maybe the 18 should be lowered ...sometimes it is weird how a lower timing may help too)
