What is the preferred program for stability testing? Orthos? Prime95v255?
Prime 95 under processes (CPU time) shows twice the real elapsed time.
Cause of the Dual cores I would imagine.
Custom 800MB for each 1G stick?
Appears to me that the latest Everest versions show the most accurate and complete temp/voltage information (and it corresponds with CoreTemp 0.96.1.)
Air-Cooled (you can call me a pansy) with the Zalman 9700 I have Core 1 running about 10 degrees hotter than Core 2.
Remount HSF or is this common to have?
Definitely all about the GTLs for me (60, 59, 60 NB) and tRFC at 36 (40 wasn't stable for me). 5-5-5-15 and almost everything else on AUTO.
4400MHz with CPU-z validation

4300MHz runs great but Core 1 craps out after an hour (heat probably) while Core 2 keeps chugging along for hours (aborted it after 4/8)

Super Pi at 11 secs

Ran the rig overnight for 8 hours at 4300 looping a movie.
No issues at all and very responsive.
I would bet I'll wind up at 4200MHz 24 hour stable unless I can lick the heat issue on Core 1.
I'll try and post an SS later.
So far I am really impressed by the E8400's performance.
I also think the Everest Stress is pretty nifty for monitoring temps

To those with a DFI LT LP P35 T2R, I wouldn't worry about flashing the 109 Bios at this point.
I couldn't even get into the Bios without flashing to it and the Tmod/Loggan CD did a superb job of making it easy for me.

hats off to those oldfahts
Pick up a spare Bios Chip (much cheaper than a CPU) and keep an Official Bios on it in Case of Armageddon.
Great idea to have one of the around anyway with a DFI board.
(plus a Rosary, prayer shawl, and a couple of Nuns)
Thanks for all the words of encouragement.
(I got so much wood I could poke your eye out from here)
