You can gain a little more in benchin 3DM. I run mine at 115 when doing a 3DM bench myself

Does this usually require a +0.1 to PCIE?

Just got my x38-ds4 and e8400 in, downloading 45 vista updates ... i tried to run core temp but it says it need s a digitaly assigned driver, so maybe these updates will fix it?

it looks like bios is reporting the temp right for me, it has 24-26*c depending on what i set the fan speed to

i'll post some results up in a bit

EDIT: i need help, all the temp monitoring programs still say they need a signed driver, what do i need to get?!

I think you need to turn off the need to have a signed drivers in Vista, I'm not sure there are signed drivers for the free download programs? I don't envy you trying to get your computer or the programs to work with Vista. I fought with Vista tooth and nail for several months, it was an extremely frustrating experience. I have gone back to XP Pro and haven't thought about my O/S since.

If you're running 64bit Vista you need to hit F8 when Vista starts to load and then disable signature checking or something like that. It should solve your problem.

This should work but I haven't tested it as I don't have Vista personally.
start>run>cmd (command prompt)
then type "bcdedit /set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS"
If that doesn't work then this one might:
Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON

Let me know if this works.
