Ok I got my new system up and running. did my 12+hr burn in all at stock using dual sessions of prime95, no problems. I followed Wusys guide for OC'ing my E6400(thanks alot btw). Here is my problem. I cant seem to get above 395 FSB without prime95 failing after a few mins. Any suggestions? I made all the changes suggested in wusys guide. I even tried upping the vcore to 1.45 and then to 1.5 with no luck. Another thing i noticed is that my cpu usage isnt always pegged at 100% when running dual prime95. It will ping png from 50 to 100. I have been using PC Wizard to monitor my temps and they range from 32-33c, i dont see much change even after a 8hr torture test, when in the bios the temp is the same as pc wizard says it is. Is there a better program for this? Here are my exact system specs

Mobo:GA-965-DS3
CPU: E6400 With Thermalright Ultra-120
Vid: 7600GT With Kuformula VF1 cooler
Mem: 2gb DDR2 800 Cas4

Here is a couple CPUZ screenies i took

ok as an update i downloaded and installed core temp, which say my current idel temp on both cores is about 50C. When in bios it says the "Current CPU Temp" is 34C. Which one do i believe?

Ok another temp update

Bios CPU Temp: 33C
PC Wizard CPU Temp: 33C (doesnt change under load)
Core Temp: 50C (goes to about 55 under load)
Easy Tuner (came with mobo): 36C (goes to about 46 underload)

Ok for temps im going to use Easy Tune5. I assume its the best to use since it came with my mobo. Idle im at about 35 under full load on avg about 49. And again im unable to break 390 FSB

Watch the PC Status in it, on the left i see 4 different fields:

VcoreA: Bounces around from 1.41 to 1.44..this is odd casue i have the vcore set to 1.425 in bios.

+3.3v: This is at 3.290.. not sure what its for

+12v: This is at 12.300

CPU Vid: This is at 1.320

anything look out of the ordinary?
