    Does not look bad, but would like to see more system information.

    Superfrag: You gotta take the dfi ut or lt t2r @ p35 if you want a p35 based board, that clocks 45nm wolfs really good.

    Use 109 beta bios and gtl ref x tweaks.

    DFI lies by about 20°C if not more. Check this thread - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=103 - i got QX9650 to show -77°C on my 3/8HP 12ccm Electrolux singlestage cooler

    I am looking into the DFI P35 for my new e8400. Or if i can get ahold of a Gigabyte G33M-DS2R, then I would get that, merely since it is cheaper and I don't plan on doing anything more than air on this chip. (Will become my backup pc)
    System - Everyday Settings
    CPU: Q6600 G0 @ 3200MHz (Lapped / Air)
    GFX: 1x EVGA 8800GTX @ 630/1600/1000MHz (Air)

    MB: EVGA 680i A1 (Bios: P32 / vdroop mod)
    PSU: PC Power & Cooling 750W
    OS: Windows XP SP3 (RC2)

    What kind of air cooling are you using? Some specs and screenies of your rig would be sweet

    I'm using a Thermalright IFX-14 (without back cooler) with 2x 120mm fans @ 2000rpm and CoreTemp reports my load temps peaking at 72C under load doing 4.2GHz (467 fsb), which seems a bit high and I dont want to push it beyond that.

    here is a Vali of the 581FSB, I´m using a Zalman 9700NT. I opened my window while benching the E8400



    in 1-2 weeks i will get my Dice/LN2-Pot, so i will bench again especially superpi
