Hi Guys,

my Setup

Q9550 E0 @3.400 / now 1,225 Vcore, VID=1,2625
400 FSB x 8,5 @ 1:1
Abit Quad GT X38 / VTT, MCH = default Vcore
GLT1 67% / GLT2 67%
Bios 16beta for E0 Steppings
2 GByte TeamGroup Xtreme Dark 6400 / @2,1 Vcore
2 GByte Corsair XMS 6400 / @2,1 Vcore
Cooler: Scythe Ninja CU

Asus 470 GTX @stock
nVidia Drivers 260.99 / High Quality

PSU: PC Power&Cooling 750 Silencer Quad / 60A on 12V Rail

Here a little Blendtest, Rig @load!
Are my PWM temperatures ok?
It was tested with 1,2625 Vcore @load the PWM´s are 70-85 degrees.
I just dont wanna kill my MB;) because i experienced some issiues. For example: My MB with Q6600 @400 fsb, in the past the MB was damaged with this CPU. Maybe the Q9550 has a better energy-construction?

From educate opinion there ok temps i only pushed mine to 3.4 and stopped.

personal opinion there high. But i just dont like things to go up there my case is in a desk that has a door.

nice vcore though
 
High PWM temp's were always an issue w/ that board unless actively cooled. Also try monitoring the PWM temp's with Guru / Abit EQ instead of HWMonitor.
