DieSeTTer :
My voltage in bios is set to 1.525, but for some reason its only getting 1.456? Maybe i need bigger psu?
I run with the side panel off 2 120mm fans...maybe i was only stressing 2 cores? I ran Prime for 16+ hours
Does 3dmark stress all cores?
You'll definitely want to check your temps using the latest beta of Prime95...
does someone have a link...it will automatically run one instance per core.
Like I said, Ctrl-alt-del during your test and bring up the activity monitor....check out the processor cores and see if they are all maxing out.
And no 3dmark is not as intensive.
You also might want to consider that running with the panel off is not always the best thing. Sometimes you can get more stable temperatures if you close it. (You can more easily affect air currents and drive away heat in a confined space than a larger open airspace)
that's alot of voltage, but if your temps are really fine it's not a problem....does the system become unstable if you use less?
Your results are very nice, I just want you to be sure everything is measured correctly so that you're not unwittingly melting your rig
