Vcore too high for that size overclock. Be sure and set vcore and vdimm manually. looks like a little over 40 celsius cpu temp with under 10 % load so thats ok. To help give you a comparison...I can run 9x420 at a 1.25 vcore.

Shadowthor - I only had some explorer windows open along with the monitoring utilities and that's it so pretty close to idle.

RRron - I guess I need to do some more research on the proper settings for the vcore and vdimm because I'm not sure what to set those at. Any links for this would be appreciated..... thanks.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] uals-guide My rule is don`t go over 1.3625 on my p5-e asus board with my e8400. Memtest first after bios changes.

Okay but I didn't set the vcore....... that is a factory setting unless the mobo automatically set the vcore for me.

If I up the frequency the voltage typically needs to be increased right? It wouldn't go down when increasing the frequency because it stands to reason that it would need more juice to feed the higher frequency....... at least in my mind I see it that way. I have printed out the guide and will be reading it today.

Okay I did a stress test and maxed out at 51C during the test...... is that normal or high. I haven't adjusted any voltages because I don't know enough yet to be playing around with that.
