    Is this normal?

    I noticed I am getting fluctuations in my OC, my core speed is jumping from 2.4 up to 3.0 and my multipler keeps changing right along with it. I OC'd my Q9300 by increasing the FSB to 1600 giving me 3.0, vcore 1.18... I am confused on where the fluctuations are coming from? Any help cause i've...

    Q9300 failed Prime....what is wrong?

    So am currently stable.... passed 8 hrs of Memtest and am currently running Prime on all 4 cores. my CPU is OC to 3.0 with a 7.5 multi, my FSB is 1600 and ram set to 400Mhz which gives me a 1:1. Core temp says my VID is 1.2375v while Cpu-z says 1.184v. Ram is @ 1.8v and NB is @ 1.5v. I...

    Q9300 failed Prime....what is wrong?

    @ Team42 : I manually changed the values to what G.skill recommended for the 780i with a 333 Mhz CPU, which i have... I am assuming that these settings are the stock settings, but i will try the default settings...

    New Build cant pass Memtest#5 or Prime

    @taltamir : That all makes sense.... I'll try lowering the voltages on the RAM and the NB and see if its stable. What is weird is that i ran Memtest#5 again today after reflashing the BIOS (all settings on RAM and NB set to manufac specs) and passed the first pass, but then let it run for...

    New Build cant pass Memtest#5 or Prime

    Hello all, I ran Memtest last night and awoke to it failing, so i ran it again one stick at a time, and all sticks were good. Then after checking the manufacturers specs for the voltages (RAM @ 2.05V and NB 1.4V) ran again....failed Memtest #5 again. Timings are 5-5-5-15-2T per the...

    Q9300 failed Prime....what is wrong?

    this is my first build, so bear with me.... I ran prime95 after getting 64x XP installed, and it ran for 1 min and then gave a fatal error. My temps @ idle were 45C, and @ full load were @ 60-62C. I thought that i might have applied the CPU Fan or thermal compound incorrectly, so i popped it...
