Fluctuating Core Voltage

[spikoman69]

Stock heatsink isnt that bad with arctic silver 5 on it. Highest temp during my prime95ing right now in coretemp is 34c, and my highest cpu temp in speedfan has been 55c. I might upgrade to the AFP64 in the future, but I dont really see the necessity. What I might do after I buy my first car (w00t cheap parents....) is upgrade to a 6400+ and AFP64 and clock that up to 3.4? 3.5?

If im going to be doing a full (or almost full) rig upgrade, im probably going to go with an intel quadcore, just because they are the best on the market. If amd has good performing processors out when i decide to upgrade, I will most likely choose them, just because there price/performence is always a bit better then intels.

yeh the new 9850BE's are coming out soon (or so we are told) but they apparently can't match the q6600 in terms of oc ability
