Vertigo mine and your results vary greatly, mine seems to run a lot better, what were the game settings and what gfx hardware are you on?

BFG 8800GTS 640MB OC at stock. Might be that your faster gfx hardware is making the CPU even more of a bottleneck and thus it "breathes" more at 4Ghz.

Guys Post your CPU with the VID, need to know if the 8500's have lower VID than 8400's.

Chance's are the 8400 will have on average a lower VID due to running a slightly low frequency at stock, thus requiring less start-up vcore.

I don’t think comparing these two cpus VIDs will give you a valid indication.

Could I have a coretemp screeny of that please? :)

also the bios/coretemp isn't working properly at the moment with wolfdales. My temps are the same from stock voltage to all the way up to 4.4Ghz with 1.46v

:) nice low VID - 8400

Best 8500 VID I have seen so far is 1.0500

hope as the chip matures, the Vid's will come down, as the q6600 did.

Keep them coming.

Demon, no offense but if this screenie is to represent temps under load, surely you need to run Orthos for a bit longer. I reckon on a few minutes to get up to max load temp not 4 seconds!!! Apologies if I have misread it.

Already ran Orthos for 10+ hrs Kirth but I forgot to get a screenie, hence why I am doing it again :)

As far as temps go, 56c full Orthos load in quite a hot room.
