Running that atm.

I assume ~55°C real CPU temp. The reading is not that bad.
Had those really odd readings with my 9500 and shipped sapphire bios on the first day (cpu stopped working few hours later).

03/07/2008 does a very good job with the ref HT here, so i'll stay with that version.

That does not sound promising but i'm curious about how it will handle high ref HT's.
Max I could get on the M3A was ~272MHz but that was far from stable, so i'm quite happy with ~285MHz max here atm.
286MHz is no go area atm, even with relaxed memory timings, high RFC's and weak mode. system gets stuck at post code 43.
