***OFFICIAL Asus P5K-E/WiFi Thread

I've been running my Q6600 G0 @ 3.7GHz 24/7 for many weeks without issue.

I have about the same setup, but can't get past 3.16GHz, even though the temps are low enough. Care to share your BIOS settings? I'm having a feeling I forgot something...

Second: Why is there so much difference between the core temps?

I was told that this could be because of the cooling paste that is not divided equally. I had this problem when I installed a Scythe Cooler: I put on too much cooling paste. I suggest you remove the cooling paste with alcohol (at least 90%!), and use Arctic Silver cooling paste... but not too much, you still have to be able to see through it. The result: my temps dropped at least 5°, and the difference between the four cores is 4° maximum!
