    some cpus just have different core temps could be board related

    similar to mine so it ain't a banana cpu at all just board issues for you ??? which board you use before maximus ?

    no idea never used DI/LN2.. but will put on my Kayl Black FrozenSS 1/4 later - just need to figure out which board to use for it as I want to keep Blitz Formula for my air/water DDR2 testing heh.

    seem similar to both dinos and mine E8500 Q740A493Ts - slightly better on orthos there but i'm reporting 4000mhz at 1.28v for 1-2hrs orthos and i think dinos only do 5-30 mins for 4000mhz at 1.232v.

    Hey George , we have exact the same oc results with 1.28Vcore !!

    I have 4400Mhz orthos stable with 1.49Vcore (W/C) .
    Right now , i'm trying to find the maximum FSB and i've stuck at 545 . The mainboard is Maximus Extreme which i'm trying to learn (bought yesterday) and it's a bit tricky to stabilize at high FSB .

    Do you guys believe that with the Wolfdale series,Intel has more stable and comparable performance NOT depending on batch numbers etc etc?
    at least that`s what i feel..
    a run just for fun....

    a few more results testing with 1.48V except 01 which is with 1.55..
    Aquamark is at 4450mhz.
    seems that the problems continue with the maximus...
    cannot boot with 1:1 and cannot reach 495-500fsb with any means..
    as far as 4600mhz everything is ok with low Vcore ( 1.52V)...
    after that the system is fully unstable even with 1.7V....

    Did some 3D testing today with 1.496Vcore load.
    Safe frequency was 4405mhz for the "big" ones and 4504mhz for aquamark..
    all of them where one run results BUT the formula problems are still there....
    my GT still with the vgpu mod off..

    Possible ... I can't use high FSB on maximus extreme & E8500 . About 540 for 1M and 530 orthos . With subzero cooling nothing changed .

    How do you managed to run Aquamark3 with your HD3850 ?

    I have a strange problem in the end of the Bench.
    The image on monitor go Black and i can't see nothing, no result, no win.

    Ctrl+Alt+Del do nothing... or Alt+F4 , or trying to minimize.

    Screen stay black all the time.
    I´m forced to reset PC to go back to normal
