Ok i will be testing my new Q9400 cpu soon, even though i cant get my Pc2-800 ram working at fully.. i will try a few diff settings. So whats the best bench mark tools these days?

Is it still super PI .... Sandra? what version? pc mark? and also whats the best temp monitoring util? cos my version of Sandra tells me my cpu was at 39c whilst my bios and Asus probe 2 tells me im @ 28c...im hoping the latter is correct. I would like to see all four core temps. and lastly does anyone have any guides or good sites about 1:1 ratio overclocking.. cheers. :D
 
Thanks ive just installed coreTemp and its showing core 1 @ 39c and the other 3 cores @ 36/35c. Is this bad for a Quad core Q9400? does anyone know?

Thanks for the info, my cooler is a Tuniq tower 120, its an immese beast and it did a great job on my E6600 so it shouldnt struggle.

I am running its fan on a low setting, and i had an awfull job puttin it on the Q9400 maybes i will redo it if load temps are mental.
