i have a question with prime95. when running the 4 threads in it does thread 1 stress core 1? thread 2 stress core 2 and so on? because i know core 1, 2, 3 are stable at over 2.9 but core 4 gets issues at 2675mhz and when puching it further and then running prime for stablity running all cores at 12@224 they all fail in about 3 seconds. any ideas. and would i be better off running a tri core at over 2.9 or sunning it as a quad with 3 cores at 2.9 and 1 at 2.67? there is an option in the asus bios to disable cores. thanks.

and QuietIce i have my ram at 374mhz at 1.8V 5-5-5-18 so having a higher Vdimm shouldn't be an issue now if it was in the first place
