[djtexas]

Hey guys,

Just want to know if my Core 2 Quad CPU q9450 @ 2.66 is working like it should. Im running this cpu with stock-fan with lil bit of thermal grease (artic-silver 5), just want your opinions on the specs to see if everything is fine, Temps seem to differ on the bios compared to the other programs, 56 C for cpu in bios. Guys this is my first build which took about 3 days to get it up and running.... will overclock in the near future once I get the go from ya !!

here are the Specs on CPU

The Q9450 uses speedstep technology. When the processor isn't being used the multiplier drops to 6x and the speed falls to 2Ghz. This saves power and when the processor begins to be loaded it will automatically shoot back up to its full speed.

Other than that everything looks good.
