jcn....I have to agree with rbsmontemor. I went up to 355 x 9 using 1.200 Vcore ser in the bios, and I was superpi32mb stable. Now running 4 instances of orthos made my system reset after just 10 seconds.

VID 1.20 is nice...but you really need to run Prime95
And superPI just use one core. Bench with nuclearus and you'll see where 4 is better hehehe

Rbs.

What does VID actually do to the OCing of this CPU? As I've seen, most people have their VID as 1.2245V, 12225V, etc, etc. Mine is exactly 1.2000V, what does it (smaller or bigger number) tell me?

I don't think he refers to vcore. I think he meant VID, which is totally different from vcore. As for Orthos, I can't seem to be able to stress core 3 and 4, even two instances. Is there a configuration I have to set?

I tried to configure Orthos to run on cores 2 and 3 and kept getting BSOD

Prime95 FTW

VID is the voltage it takes the cpu to run at stock speeds. The general consensus among overclockers is that the lower the VID, the higher you should be able to overclock the cpu and at less voltage.
