My first question involves speedfan v.37 vs realtemp v2.7
I am seeing a difference of 10C between them with speedfan being higher

I am currently running a FSB of 266
CPUx12=3.19GHz
Vcore1=1.275
Tmax from realtemp is 53C on 10 passes IntelBurn

What is the safest for
Vcore?
and Tmax?

if Realtemp is more accurate then 53C is temp if Speedfan Is more accurate then 63C is core temp max, i think realtemp is more accurate because at stock everything it is reporting over 60C on Intel Burn.

Is this a good OC? Any Pointers on what to do next? I am planning to reduce Vcore until unstable then bump up to last setting and the same with my DRAM volts as it is at 2.1 now which my reapers are rated for.

What benchmark should I run after I reduce the volts to Vmin for stability at this rate?

Thanks

Doug

ps: I have my OCZ memory running at 1064 by reading Profile2 from the memory at 5 5 5 15 timings after messing with everything else and reading the manual, i found that this mobo can read the epp/spd file from my memory and has been running at 532 fsb with 1:2 ratio with the above timings

Use coretemp to get the CPU temp, speedfan is usually wrong, realtemp might not have been updated since Intel finally released CPU temp data.

Up to 1.35V in BIOS is perfetly fine as long as your temps stay below 70C

Good :)

You will need to chage the system memory multiplier if you further increase the CPU FSB to keep the RAM from being overcloked too much.

If you follow the support link on the RealTemp page, you'll find the latest beta, which does take into account the recent disclosure by Intel.

Edit: In fact you don't have to find the Beta, Version 3 has been released here:-
