FSB and RAM

For now I'm happy with 3.4GHz 1.37 volt with temps low 30's idle and mid to high 40's load.

I might push for 3.6GHz later.

Also, nelson, are you running 2 sets of orthos? You have to run it twice to get full load and to see full temps. At 3.6 i cant get core 4 stable no matter how much voltage i push through it, but meh, it doesnt crash on me in games.

No, I've only been running Orthos in one instance on Large FFTs. I'll run it twice and see what happens.
Didn't even hit me that it only stresses two cores.

*edit*
Still not bad with two instances running. Maybe 2-3 degrees increase.

dont you to have to wait a good amount of time to actually see the load temperature? if your still on test 1, chances are temperatures might rise

I'm sure you do. I never said you didn't. Even so, not a lot of applications/games go beyond that demand. I play wow, BF2, and Crysis beta and the temps don't go above 45. That's all that matters to me, not if I completely stress the CPU out because I never will.
