Q6600 questions from a noob

Hi people

1. What is the best temperature monitoring software other than coretemp - i cant seem to get TAT to run on my system it errors on startup everytime.

2. What stress software for overclocking stresses all 4 cores at once?

3. Whats a safe vcore for these chips my vdroop seems massive?

Cheers

Thanks for that.

Are these readings correct for a GO quad as i read somewhere that you have to add 15 degrees or am i wrong?
And what temperature should i not be exceeding for 24/7 use?
Also what test and settings do i need on prime 95 v25.4 to gurantee i stressing the ship properly?

So my coretemp temps are around 30 idle at 3000mhz is this a correct reading i heard these quads were hot yet my old a64 was a lot hotter?

What settings do i need to change in prime95 to make it use all cores and what is 'round off checking'?

Regards

Well I cant say as I dont know what version of coretemp you are using.

0.95.4

Im getting massive vdroop i set 1.40 in bios and its showing 1.21 in cpu-z!

Cpuz 1.41 kept hanging my system for some reason?
So are my temp readings correct with that coretemp version do you know?

Abit IP35-Pro by any chance?

Yes is this a known fault?

Ive been running prime 95 now for 3 hours how do you know if its faulted or not?
