new HD x264 video encoding benchmark

[The Nemesis]

Seems nothing reads this boards sensors right yet Also are your temp readings taking into account that the TjMax = 95°C for this chip and not 105°C?

^Nope, I'm on air w/ windows open and the case door open. I can make a temp corrections in the BIOS I believe but I just use Real Temp for CPU readings and everest for NB, SB, PWM, GPU, and such. Right now I am folding @ 100% and my cores are at 45, 43, 39, 40 w/ Real Temp and 55, 53, 48, 49 w/ Everest--give or take a degree.

I'll try to post my stock numbers on Wednesday.

Pretty good temps for that o/c cooled on air. What are your voltages (BIOS not everest) to hold that FSB stable?

set to/reported as in BIOS

CPU: 1.31250V / 1.33V
DRAM: 2.000V / 1.95V
NB: 1.343V / 1.36V --> still lowering
CPU VTT: 1.109V / 1.12V --> still lowering

First off, thanks for the data. I'll update the db later today. To answer your questions, that report is generated by CPU-Z and I believe it's using 105 as the TjMax.
