OK, i clocked my own C2D chip just after xmas and i hit 4.3 within all of 3 mins, Prime 95 stable good voltages and never over 65*c on air,

however, now im clocking a 920 and its giving me hell! even with the mildest clokcs i get a "CPU temperature error" before it even starts booting windows, its under a noctua cooler which i believe to be installed correctly and not tonnes of paste, also can anyone remind me which setting to disable to lock the multiplyer? thanks!

EDIT: downloading real temp atm to check temps
 
ok.. it talks about changing QPI multiplier and some others but i dont know where to find those settings.. any suggestions?
 
P6T SE.. no worries though, managed to get to 4Ghz stable and that'll do.. used the ASUS software rether than bios settings, also reseated the noctua and re-did thermal paste (after a wash(the processor and HSF not me :p )) not impressed with the noctua at all, still rocks from side to side with all the skrews done up probably tighter than they should be, but no worries :D
