For all of those curious for cpu score on 3dMark06 for a phenom 9500... Got it at 2.42Ghz with stock cooling. Running on a ECS A770-M AM2+ board. Temperature is at 30 degrees C. Excuse the GFX its just a fill in until my 8800gt comes in on monday.

I've heard that Phenoms at 2.8GHZ can get around 4K
Maybe if you used XP, you'd get a bit higher.
Anyway, I'll be wanting a black edition phenom to go in my system, so I can hopefully overclock it past 3GHZ.
I'll be happy if I can get 3.2 or more.
try ntune as well. it is the only one that is even remotely close to my bios temps. and it is pretty close to them.
also, BiG...can you please run super pi 32m on that rig and lemme know the score.
maybe 3dmark 06 so i can get a reasonable estimation of its ability. thanks!
I think Core Temp is usually more accurate than BIOS readouts are.
considering it does take the temperatures of the sensors
inside the CPU.
*edit*
Anyway, it's about time I put my results in, I think.
