Q9450 guys, I need your help. I've been following all of the stable settings posted and I believe I am VERY close to stability, but would like some advice on what to adjust to:

1) Get Prime 95 Blend stable
2) Lower my vcore a bit

I also want to note that I did passed Intel Burn Test (Linpack) with maximum stress with 10 passes, but still failed Prime 95 blend (only CPU ID 3) around 5-7 minutes.

When testing with only small FFTs for pure CPU stability in Prime 95 with lower vcore voltage, CPU ID 3 is always the one that fails.

I'm guessing this where I'll need to do some GTL adjustments.

Here are my current settings:
