I'm thinking back to 3am a couple of days ago ... This started when I pushed way too hard and the system would not return from a bad OC. So now that I am thinking about it, I guess Ace was right, it must have been a corrupted bootblock. Odd thing was, before that this board always wiped all settings when returning from a bad oc, now the settings are still intact. I wonder if it was a bad flash from the factory?

Anyway I am happy as hell now. The new flash turned it all around and I don't think my I35P-XL could accomplish the same thing. 3.6 on this voltage was all I could do with it, though it was a quick and casual oc try.

I'm seeing 100 FPS+ from an h264 encode. This really shows off the quad as the 8400 turns about 50 FPS at the same clock. I suppose that makes sense as it is pretty much a half 9450.

I wish we had a SuperPi that used all cores available so we could actually gage and compare the work potential of these setups with each other. A single core benchmark doesn't really make any sense anymore. Is there such a thing that I've missed? Been away from the OC scene quite a while. Circa AW8D with a 930D@4.6 Ghz.
