I went to the shop just a sec ago. And when not behind PC's I try to think about the stuff I might have picked up.

So I think, if I read most stuff right and didnt forget the most important stuff with my shortminded very selective brain, CPU core(s) can be tested with Prime.

But the IMC cant. You said in MSI thread, that when idle you got lock ups. But IIRC, that was with OC'd IMC too right? Im at this moment testing pure CPU multiplier OCíng. No HTT, IMC or HT multipliers changed.

Though it doesnt mean automatically that the 'fix' is to leave IMC at stock since I used the IMC multiplier at 9x while testing the HTT and it crapped out anyhow, while at lower CPU speed it was fine again. Ive the IMC at 1.3V stock speeds and the CPU 1.35V and 14x200 Priming. Still got to test idle of course, but I do hope I made some sort of idea clear what I actually mean here?

Only been testing with Phenom for one day now so Ive not a lot of experience yet, but I think there is something else going on then simply 'HTT is universal, and we got 3 different multipliers for z 'n gigglez'. I guess there must be somehow some sort of ratio for at least the IMC and CPU, be it Voltage and/or speed wise, where it feels happy.

At least, IF idle is stable as well, I hope I can keep going on with multiplier only clocking for a while.

And for the temps, I know BIOS/motherboard readings are more often inaccurate than accurate. This temp is with Core Temp, and yet again, not 100% of course, but I dont think it would differ by more than 5C anyway. Also, I think Core Temp already has the Phenom temperature formula calculated right?
