Well managed to sort my temps out, they no longer brush 70c, and they hold steady at 65-66c. Vcore is at 1.20000 exactly. Working on dropping all the others voltages, will share my settings when I find the lowest possible stable settings.

Also, has anyone noticed that this chip (maybe others aswell) has like a "break in" period? For example, I ran IBT last night with pretty much the same volts, and ran it again today, but this time the temps weren't as nearly as high. A good 5C difference.

That's pretty impressive, whats your setup? Also, could you please share you BIOS settings?

vCPU= 1.375v

FSB= 430Mhz
multi= 8
memory= 1718Mhz
Ref= 400Mhz
idle= 34ºc
load= 51ºC
Aux(i think this is northB?)= 33ºc

gtls and ttl when i get home
Isn't 1.375 the max for the Q9450? I think thats waaayyyy to high. I run mine at 3.4 Ghz with 1.17500. Start at 1.25000 and drop down.
