So first question:
this is an e6600 core at .2 ghz.
Is achieving this at 8x400 rather than 9x 360 better? (I've gone for the former as it allows me to run at a lower temp with less voltage)
Back on track: without this overclock, my pc would have been floundering donkeys back. I don't have the cash to build a new one right now, though I am considering a core 2 quad at the end of the year to tide me over for a bit. Thing is, this thing runs all games like a dream (with the exception of ME2 which flickers with textures sometimes) yet if you run prime 95 on it, one worker will stop within seconds. Unstable clock therefore? Why is this? Just bumping up vcore hasn't helped so far... would doing the northbridge as well help at all?
