    That's good, make sure you got everything running right. Get the newest version of Prime 95. It stress tests all four cores in one instance.

    35C load? Then they're lying, quite frankly. To cool that CPU to 40 degress under load is doable, 35 however is much harder - it would either have to be done in a very cold room, or use a Tower heatsink. Remember that Orthos is a true system stress test, not just a normal load like a game, for instance.

    if you go back and look at bigwill's temps underload. his are 47-49c underload. and thats the cores themselvs the other day when we had it and took it up to 3.5ghz the cores under load was only hitting 50-52c and the CPU was in the mid 40c. and this is all under load.

    Core temps are too variable and peculiar to make that much difference Rob, if your main CPU temp is fine, then your temps are fine full stop.

    so bozer your saying 4870 in other words?

    i have £200 to spend, so do i go for the DABS £117 4850 (gigabyte) and a HX 620 (over my tagan 430W U15) OR wait for a 4870 OR get a 24" monitor??

    OR get an overdraft (by making a student card) and use that?
