**Update**
well after work i came home and did read quite a few forums came to the conclusion that these temps for the north bride are normal????! and i decided to check for stability. with stock settings 3.06ghz + HT Ram @ 1600mhz "Xmp" i did 30 minutes of small FFT's with prime95 and the highest temp showing at 62c, the sys temp hovered around 55-58c. so i decided to bump it up a tad and went to 3.8ghz 200/19 @ 1.24v Vcore + HT and i ran Small FFT's for 30 minutes and wound up with the highest being 71c Sys temp 64c, about to do the blend test for a few hours to check stability with memory. So far how do the temps,settings, voltages look? im still pretty new to these chips but i am SURPRISED so far with these temps / voltages compared to my old QX9650.
btw.. should i try dropping the voltages some or does it look alright for 24/7 use @ 3.8ghz with minimal cpu degrading? I will post a pic below.
