1st ground up new build for about 2 years so yeh a little excited,might even skive the day off work [if your reading this boss i am really ill].
 
I'm a little new to this so any help would be appreciated guys..

I had my 2160 running at 300fsb perfectly yesterday* and was going to give it a day or two before pushing it further. I turned the pc on this morning and it simply wouldn't complete loading windows and rebooted every single time. In the end I had to go back to defaults and Windows loaded on it's first attempt.

Any idea why it was stable for hours yesterday but wouldn't play ball this morning?

Just thought I'd post a pic of all my different temp monitoring programs, as you can see they don't all match up.

TAT: 70°C/70°C

Core Temp: 72°C/72°C

Speedfan: 58°C/58°C (and something called CPU 74°C)

MBM5 with Core 2 Plugin: 58°C/58°C

Good, now run some stability checking software and see if its stable. Never does any harm to mention what kit you are using.

P.S: I think you need to update your version of CPU-z

Had to up the voltage to 1.3v seems solid. Will leave orthos running tonight.
