thanks....
I did adjust the vcore abit... not that much only....
Yup i ordered the sigmatek red scorpion S1283. Planning to OC till 3.6G at lease. New ram comming too...
thanks for your comment

its xigmatek, not sigmatek

and guaranteed ur temps will shoot above 65c at 3.6ghz, maybe even low 70's

unless you have aircond on la and at the coldest setting

fellow OC'ers

i have a problem. CPUZ, Coretemp, Speedfan, BIOS and easytune (gigabyte rev5) all gimme different reading

my setup:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
cpu = Q6600 B3 @ 3.16GHz (cant seem to touch 3.2

)
mem = OCQ reaper 6400
cooling = thermalright 120 extreme
ambient = damn freakin hot, im sweating writing this in a singlet (shud >35C? no aircon

)
mobo = gigabyte p35c ds3r
gpu = 8800gt 512mb
power saving = all c1e and the other one turn off in bios d...
this is my problem:

why is that? i compare for temperature, speedfan gives me the most accurate in relation to bios (maybe +5C more in speedfan). The rest are just out like crazy! especially coretemp (>+20C to bios).
WTF man.

so my questions

:
1) anyone know why my readings are out? even core voltage is out, i set bios 1.32V and even cpuz reads cacat!

2) what temp is most accurate? i read bios is still on the + side to the exact temp, so im thinking speedfan readings are best?
3) this is for anyone with gigabyte bios on p35 : is the (G) MCH option in the tweat section in bios = the northbridge voltage? how do i know current voltage?
4) how do u guys check MCH temp? scared too hot...

thanks sifu sifu OC...

1) thats because there is such a thing called vdroop and vdrop

2) i would use coretemps reading, but then again, all software reading is quite inaccurate :S
speedfan needs to be calibrated to give a better reading and considering your cpu is a ES unit (as per the SC)
3) afaik, gigabyte p35x ds3x (x denotes r or/and c) doesnt have a NB sensor. the NB sensor seen normally in utilities is actually the SB. Stock voltage for it is 1.25v as per intel's specifications for P35
4)use a laser thermal sensor or finger, or thermometer.
