Great holding it stable Very close to that 1.3625V what your temps at idle?

its was 3d stable at lower vcore... but i wanted it prime stable so staying under that 1.3625 very nice.My Idle temps are below 36c but im not quite sure since the sensors are stuck there

This is one sweet little 8400 it suprised the heck outta me.
My E8600 took almost 1.5vcore to hit 4.5 which i wasnt happy with.

Hey guys !!!
I have a problem
my E8500 C0 is oced to 4Ghz, at 1.302v and 1.290V after vdroop on full load.
Orthos fails memory test, cpu test, and both cpu and ram test.

I cant even reach 4Ghz on 1.3V which is pretty bad..
What should I do? increase memory volts? FSB volts? more CPU volts or maybe chipset volts?

edit: my mobo is tpower i45 and memory is OCZ 2gb reaper HPC DDR2-8500 running at 2.1V stock

edit 2 Orthos is running for over 15mins now.. Its weird, first run always fails, but 2nd time its all good.
Yesterday I did 3.8Gh with some voltage, and orthos failed. So then I tried the test again without changing anything and orthos was running for over 8 hours(I had to stop it)...
