Hi there. I made my first build about a month and a half ago, and as I've now been playing Mass Effect, I notice I occasionally get stutters in the game. I alt-tabbed out to check some things, and noticed the game was maxing out my e8400 to 100%, even while OC'd to 3.6GHz. According ot CPUID, running idle at 1.2vcore gets me about 52C and maxing it out under full load gets me about 66C. I have done a very good job with the thermal grease, and have an an Arctic Cooler 7 Pro. I'm wondering why then, is this running so hot. My bios says the cpu is running at a much lower temperature, and while i realize its not under the same load, the bios reports like 34C as my temp. I'm wondering why there is such a large discrepancy. I've now changed to a 9x420 = 3.78GHz, with my memory on a 2.0D multiplier so its running 1:1 with my CPU. I put the voltages on auto, because leaving the vcore at 1.2 caused bsods. My mobo cranks the voltage up to 1.49vcore and now my idle temps are like 58. Any explanations on what to do with respect to the Mass Effect stutters, the heat, or the insane required voltage (when I know some people get the cpu up to like 4.2 and beyond) would be greatly appreciated.
