for got to mention, I have left voltage on auto, so 3.4ghz on default is great for heat and power

I have gigabyte motherboard, ( First time in ages) so not too hot with these mobos. I normally set overclock vlt myself, I have managed to get it to 3.8 and run vantage, however prime95 seems to kill 2 cores.
