I say this because my bios startup screen shows 2.6 not 3.2.
i tested my ram with the windows version of memtest (4 instances with 1gb of ram dedicated to each instance) and got no errors.
to test the settings with memtest in dos mode i have to set everything up in bios, thatīs right. aod doesnīt change bios settings. iīm booting into windows at default settings. all i changed in bios was 1066 mem speed and the primary 5-5-5-15 timings in unganged mode.
when setting up unganged mode i can adjust timings for both dimm banks seperately, just noticed that today.

In your case, you may see a quick cascade of cores failing then lockup then reboot.
i noticed a higher temperature with prime95 too. with aod stability test highest temp is around 40°C and with prime95 its 43°C.
funny thing is, that i canīt see which core craps out...
i just get a bluescreen with irq_not_less_or_equal and it reboots.
to be honest, i wasnīt really paying attention to the monitor till it turned blue. so i might see a core crapping out before the bsod if i stare at the screen all the time.

acc adds about 0.04v under 100%load on my system too.
