its summer over here and im running the qx9650 on the stock cooler for now, at 3.4ghz after the super pi 1m bench i tried running orthos, it never became unstable however i had realtemp running at the same time, after 2 minutes i stopped orthos and rebooted, setting everything except memory voltage back too stock, which i then set from 2.25 to 2.15 in bios. i just freaked out when i saw the qx9650's hottest core hit 85c!

i use a quad because i also like benching 3dmark06
