So which is my core?

[uk_james]

Alright lads listen to this and tell me if you can work this one out... cpuz says i have a toledo 512kb L2 cache...fair enough now OPN64 says....it's a manchester with 1024kb L2 Cache....am i missing something here? lolol

I take it we are talking about a X2 3800+?!

Mine according to CPU-Z is a toledo Revision E6.

I'd take CPUz's word, I'd never even heard of OPN64 until recetly and it seems to give shoddy results.

yeah...x2 3800+ still tweaking but i've got it upto 2.6ghz and stable for 9 and a half hours, two instances of prime...but hey shouldn't we be using four instances? because prime only tests 50% you need two instances for each core, core temp 49. What volts would you lads take it upto? and max temps too

Hmmm well mine is currently running 2.4ghz on stock volts. Havn't tried for anything higher yet. Been playing hours of COD2 and Farcry with no problems.

I wouldn't take the voltage to high unless you have decent cooling. I personally run the Zalman 9500 and I have to say it is excellent. Although it is massive so if you are restricted for space it may not be too good for you.

The toledo is stock Vcore around 1.36v or something like that isn't it?! I can't remember (I can't look it up at the moment as I am at work). IF it is around that then up to 1.5v is probably a good safety margin.

I have an arctic freezer 65 pro....my board's a a8n-e. So what would you take your core volt upto? i see some lads going up and past 1.6 yet i've read on another forum that they say don't go past 1.45. What about temps on full load? you see i've just moved over from p4 so things are slightly different with temps and voltages

Go to task manager on choose affinity. One prime95 for each core
