Hi guys!

I bought this week a 4000 X2 Brisbane and installed in my new rig which is the following

M2N-SLi Deluxe - Bios 0903
OCZ DDR2-800 Platinum Rev. 2
4000 X2 Brisbane
GF 7900GS 256MB
ThermalTake 430w PurePower
Evercool Buffalo

In my first OC attemp I got to 2700MHz with 1.35v totally stable... then i tried to get to 2800MHz and to get it stable I need to use 1.45v...

With the last set my idle temp. is around 42 ºC and full temp. is around 64 ºC is it too hot?

Another thing It´s strange... if I set 1.45v in the BIOS PC Probe reads 1.52v and everest too but CPU-Z gives me 1.35v... which is correct?

I also have a Zalman 7000B AlCu which is better, Evercool or Zalman?

To get my experiencies going on I'd like to know what's the MAX average temp. i should get and what's the MAX vcore i should use daily

i'm having a problem with my motherboard... if i set 1.3v in the BIOS and reset my pc when i get to the BIOS again and use the "hardware monitor" it reads 1.4v and it's the same with everest...

so.. is it normal the motherboard to set 0.1v more than i've set in the BIOS?

can this problem be caused by my PSU?
