my first time overclock 4.05 Ghz =)... help?

[Dapper Dan]

like i said .. first time oc-ing , everything is basically on auto minus the 450 fsb and 9x multi ... im running a QX9650 with an Asus P5K-premium Black Pearl and 8 gigs of pc-8500 ddr2 4 x 2gb

i'm running orthos (x4) ... but only 2 cores are being stressed temps on the cores are 54*C , 53*C , 37*C, 36*C


any ideas on how to get it stressed right so i can see how stable it is?

also ... speed step is annoying ... before i was able to turn it off ... now i cant

Nice OC.

^That should be easily remedied within the bios. Disable C1E as well.

I thought running two instances of orthos took care of stressing all four cores.. If not you could grab iTAT (intel thermal analysis tool), thats a real core burner.

you need to get the dual core version of orthos google it, then run two instances. Go to your task mngr>processes right click orthos?affinity make sure core 1 and 2 are checked and not 3 and 4, then go to the next orthos do the same sept click core 3 and 4 and make sure 1 and 2 are unchecked.

Or just run one instance of this which will stress every core.

As darkcow said use Prime95, it will automatically load all four cores. latest version is 25.8, get it here.

Another vote for prime 95.
