I'm hitting 40*C with the North Bridge at 1.696V under load. So far . . . it's stable with that setting but, I've only run p95 for 10 minutes. I'll update more with that later.

One thing that is weird (and I don't think I can fix it) is that my Core 0 and Core 1 always report 10 degrees lower than Core 2 and Core 3. It doesn't matter what monitoring prog. I use (CoreTemp, RealTemp, Everest, etc.).

Also CoreTemp and Everest report 63* and 73* for cores 0,1 and 2,3 respectively. Whereas RealTemp reports them as 53* and 63* From what I've read, that has something to do with the TJ Max settings being different.

I'm comfortable with the temps reported in RealTemp (53* and 63*) as long as they are the most realistic temps. I just hope that I'm not surpassing the 70* limit mentioned for these processors.

If anyone has any thoughts on my 10* discrepancy between cores, I'd be curious to hear them. From what I've read, the best diagnosis is a stuck thermistor on the core that has 0 and 1 on it.



Thank you very much for your help Zucker2K!! I owe you.

No problem mate. Yes the difference between core temp and real temp is the 10C in TJMax. You can change that in settings.ini file which you can locate in the coretemp folder. Make sure this line is exactly like this: TjMaxOffset=-10; The temp difference is common to most 45nm chips. Hope things prove better this time by way of stability.

I cant get anything over 400fsb stable, overall i am disappointed if this is all i can achieve, is there something i am doing wrong? i am on bios 0403

I apologize for not getting back to you asap. I did try to post settings once only to find the server was under going an upgrade. Anyway, since you're on air, temps are going to be your biggest problem. What FSB/Clocks are you looking at?

I was hoping for atleast 450fsb, ive tried several different settings posted in this thread, with no luck tho, i would love to get 475, but i can settle for 450, thanks for the help.
