Q6600 running at 3.2 or 3.6 ??

Heyz this one is for all you oc guru’s out there.. :)

I running at 400×8 to 3.2.. My vcore is set to 1.35.. When I run orthosx2 or prime95 for 15 mins my temps go up to 72 or 73 c.. I’m acutally okay with it since real world applications hardly ever stress the cpu to that limit but prime95 always fails after 30+ mins.. I don’t get it.. my system is stable.. Another weird thing is that Core temp 95.4 is reporting a freq of 3600mhz (450×8) and Orthos is reporting 3599MHz FSB: 400MHz [399MHz x 9.0 est.].. That’s pretty strange since I’m running at 400×8=3.2.. Cpu Z reports it 3200mhz, 8x, 400 bus & 1600 Fsb..

List of questions!

Another weird thing is I can’t run at 9×333.. I can at 332 or 334 but not 333..
Is running my ram at 1002 mhz better with a 2:3 faster or 800 mhz with a 1:1..
Oh and one last thing :D if prime fails after 30 + mins but orthos & my system overall runs fine should I care ??

thanks :)
