Thanks for the replies. I downloaded Real Temp V3.0 and it agrees with Core Temp. The tJmax has been changed on Real Temp.

I'll post my settings for my BIOS next time I do an OC. Currently running at 3.420 with no stability issues.

Cool!

Anywhere between 3.0GHz and 3.690GHz is a breeze with the E8400. It's after reaching 3.70GHz that it requires tweaking. MCH and RAM voltages combined with properly setting RAM timings are all I've had to do for totally stable at 3.7GHz. :D I'll be going for 4.0GHz withing two weeks.

Oh, BTW I still don't see any Edit icon next to the Quote button. I assume you mean just to the left, as the Multi quote icon is just to the right of the Quote icon.

What's the Make and Model of your RAM?

IMPORTANT!!!!

***Set PCI Express Frequency to 100MHz or you risk corrupting your OS and data.***

My RAM is Mushkin XP PC2-8500 4GB 2x2GB DDR2-1066 CL5-5-5-15 240PIN dual Channel (Part # 996599)

I will set PCI Express Frequency to 100, but I understand Auto is 100.

[High Sierra]

I still don't see an edit icon.

BTW after 60 minutes of Prime95 the max temp was 57 Deg. C. Idle after 15 minutes was 41 deg. C.

3.609ghz.

That is odd. I guess you need to PM an Admin. :(

Better safe than sorry. Maybe... Maybe not.

DEFINITELY must prove it though.

I wonder where to confirm that... manual maybe... google... Lsdmeasap?

Well, the manual says on Page 45:

"PCI Express Frequency (Mhz)
Allows you to manually set the PCIe clock frequency. The adjustable range is from 90 MHz to 150 MHz. Auto sets the PCIe clock frequency to standard 100 MHz. (Default: Auto)"

That's the 999,999th time I've been wrong. YAY!!! (*yum cookie plz.)

But books are not always right. And/or it also improves stability to Manually set it... could also be that some ppl think its better higher than 100- which is wrong... and that is why so many times ppl have suggestion to manually set it. (Or nun of the above.)

Lsdmeasap? Which is it?

And the following is your RAM High Sierra?
