I use orthos as well, good program. I do a lot of overclocking and use this to test stability. Once I think I've reached the best speed/stability balance then I run Il2 online for two hours or more, I have seen a pc pass orthos for 24 hours and fail il2 in 30 min! lolOriginally posted by wolfman2100:
I'm running orthos blend at the moment.

There's some really nice utilities with this MOBO, the Q-FAN actually works, it never did on my P5NE-SLI.
The PC Probe on the disc (doh!) is really nice.
My temps have never been this low (maybe i got the cooler fixed right this time huh?
There's also an OC utility, dunno if it works or not, as i know nothing about OC'ing whatsoever, but i'm going to try it later, see what happens i have a CORE 2 E4300 which runs at 1.8GHZ (Multi 9 apparently). I should be able to get to over 2.0GHZ on stock cooling right?
Remind me which cpu you have? Overclocking utilities are really not what they are cracked up to be, you should really oc from the bios. If you are interested in overclocking check out some of the guides and FAQ's at www.overclock.net .
The Asus' overclock utility (AI-Booster) works directly on the BIOS, you can use it to overclock the system by selecting a percentage (5% - 30%) of overclock, or by setting the FSB directly.
If you use the utility, the selected setting will also be applied into the BIOS. (But, as I've hardly used it, I may be wrong here!)

If that is the case then that is pretty cool. I dislike overclocking with software because if I go to high I'd rather have the pc not boot that risk corrupting my install by having bad reads and writes to the harddrive (which is still a risk when oc through bios but slightly less). And I recommend anyone who oc's with software to add those setting to the bios when they determine the best setup.Originally posted by FoolTrottel:

Ok, in reply to both posts.
My chip is E4300 C2D it's multi is 9 - i know that for a fact.
The ASUS AI Overclock utility on my board (it's a cheap P5K) doesn't show the percentage OC, but shows the multi then numbers going up from 200.00. I altered the number and the FSB went up on the utility.
However, on GPUZ it still showed 1.80GHZ, and said the multi was 6, also on the Vista thing my speed had not changed, in the BIOS the only options seem to be AUTO or MANUAL.
