the corolla is dyin, the sound alone tells the tale, you can almost hear each rod and valve as the loosely open and close and rattle kinda like a box of rocks. 302,000 miles and running, but i didnt say running good. i really dont know why it does still run....

im goin to bed, night

It runs great without any problems...temps for idle are 30-33 degs and load is around 47-49 degs max. This is under stress testing with prime and not gaming. Ambient temps are around 30 degs.

I was pretty surprised at the scores myself...

Not going any higher...core no. 2 is the weak one which was locked, so no chance of it going higher than that....prime will run for a hour or so at this overclock but will eventually give an error on this core. For gaming I have not found an issue yet....but have backtracked to 3.2Ghz at 1.325 v and now the temps are 27 idle and max 40 load. Am more comfortable with this. Get a score of around 10k in 3dmvantage.

BTW just started Left4dead....whats the idea of the game man...are you just supposed to go on shooting zombies and get to the safe zones??? or is there something I am missing??

Well got to take a crack at it again today. Looks like I will not be seeing 4ghz :( I just can't even make it into windows at anything over 1.5v, which makes me sad. 1.456v seems to be the highest stable volts I can use, 1.472v is the highest I can get into windows with. I got off a validation at 3,829mhz, but that wasn't stable. I backed it down and got it stable now.

3,718mhz, 1.456v, 201fsb, mem timings 5-5-5-18 @ 1072 (suppose to be 7-7-7-24 @ 1066) , and NB at 2412. Guess it's good enough for now.

We'll see when my Biostar shows up, would be nice to unlock the 4th core since I got a 0904.

what kind of temps are you getting when you have 4 cores vs 3 cores ?

I had the same temps with my 720 with 4 core or 3.

As for gaming I was able to game for hours at 3.8ghz on 4 cores, I miss my old 720:cry:
