    I am looking at some data which shows pretty conclusively that core temp is not a meaningful number. Give me a little while and I will post this information so that others can draw their own conclusions - I am a little busy right now.

    Scan tech support over on hexus did a test on a first batch E8400 using an intel motherboard and stock cooler and speeds. Idle temps were in the 30's, max temp after 2 hours was in the low 60's (stock cooler dont forget). Both Intel and scan confirmed that the CPU is working normally within its specification, and higher temps on other manufacturers boards are due to an immature bios.

    How timely. I don't think that is the case. Check out this thread for my reasons: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...70#post2793670

    Alright... need a look over.
    Performed Small FFTs, In-place large FFTs, Blend... all 15 minutes no errors.
    CPU CORE: 1.365 (I think... cant remember) I checked and it was at 1.4 so I set it to 1.375 and it's at load right now at 1.312v
    CPU FSB 1.4 This is 1.3
    SPP 1.4
    MCP 1.6
    SPP<>MCP 1.3 This is in Auto
    How does everything look... I wonder if those temps are accurate... what is everyone else getting for temps at that overclock?
    Should I try running my memory at 1T command rate? I set it to 2T for the overclock. I am running 2X2 at 4-4-4-15
