hi guys, currently testing my friend's rig (Q6600 400*8, Biostar TPower I45, Gemini2 with 2x12cm CM fan 90cfm, CM690) stressing using prime95, monitor temp using core temp n biostar TPower2 software, but the temp reading are diff (10C), can i trust the core temp reading? (max 67C so far by core temp)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 thread just failed after 20min stressing, i guese have to lower down the bus speed now
or any1 can give me tips how to achieve 3.2ghz stable?

i think i finally get a good setting now; 3.4Ghz (380*9) @ 1.352Vcore, RAM run 914Mhz FSB:DRAM 5:6, stable for 2hrs already on small FFTs prime95 with max load temp 67C

previously tried running 3.6ghz (450*8) @ 1.45V (tried with 1.40V but crashed) but load temp exceeded 70C even using Gemini2 with 2x 12cm fan 90cfm, so dun wan to stress the proc a lot, i think its enuf with 3.4Ghz

about the temp, i forgot that this mobo (Biostar TP I45) got its own temp display on the board, so i agree with jeromeccm, tpower2 is the accurate reader 1

i encountered a weird situation just now, i trying to achieve 3.5ghz by setting 437*8 @ 1.44Vcore (prev tried 1.40V but failed prime95 just after 1min), testing with the setting on prime95, no failure after 10min but temp went up to 70C, dont know why during the test, my vista suddenly logged off (like in proper way, closed all the program and shutted down), i thought maybe it setting somewhere in bios to shut down the system when reaching certain temp, but its not, i mannually set the limit to 80C, and log on into windows again and re-run the prime95, but still same, after about 10 min, without any error on the test, the system shutted down by itself, really weird la, can some1 tell me whats going on here?
