[QUOTE="AtlBo, post: 859869, member: 32547"] Really good fun these core 2s. I got the cooler I was waiting for yesterday and pushed the 9400 o/c to 3.6 GHz. Had to drop the memory speed back 1200 mhz from 1347 where it was, but the system is better by Passmark standards. Even the memory mark showed gains in the bench. Better than the 99 I got with the stock cooler on a run last week. Cooler is doing the job. Made it 4 hours in Prime95, then lost a core in the test. Just after 5 hours a second core went down. Temp got to 79, which is high, but not as bad as 99C reached last week with the stock cooler. Think I will raise the power to the memory slightly, but the o/c seems really good and safe enough to use for now until I can get back to the issue. Guess I will be installing some 1998-2008 type games when I get a chance. Not sure what yet, but all that will probably be a while from now... [/QUOTE]
