    CPU-z says I'm running at 1.35v but I'm not, it's actually running at 1.55v,

    I can get up to 2.84GHz prime stable but the idle temperature is 38C (on air), too hot for my liking. So it's clocked to 2.8GHz for everyday use, at 32C idle and 38C on load.

    Your voltage at 1.648v and only getting 2.75GHz, can't you do better? Especially on watercooling. In fact with watercooling you might even get 2.9GHz, the highest I've seen is over 3GHz (could be phase cooling though).

    SSE = Streaming SIMD Extensions. Like MMX and 3DNow!, they're instructions that are coded into the CPU and, when used, yield extra performance since they're native processor commands.

    I wouldn't up the voltage any more, I think 1.6v is the maximum safe limit for this cpu. Try lowering the multiplier and upping the fsb, my CPU does better at 10.5 multi than at 11, perhaps you can get 2.8GHz at least.

    Out of interest, whereabouts in So'ton are you?

    1. Boswell is running on water!
    2. You need to post a screenshot, do this by uploading your screenshot to an image host (such as imageshack.us) and posting the image here.

    Go here
    Create yourself and account and upload the pic. It'll give you 3 sizes (small, med and the full sized image)

    Why does it have to be under 500k? Why not just drop the quality a little rather than making the image stupidly small. As i say, upload the FULL sized image to the link in my last post.
    It'll compress it down for you to a lower res which will be ideal for the forums, and still readable...
