The 'Windows System' window reads 3.19 GHz (CPU-Z/ELeet says 3.5 GHz) and my Corsair RAM has the XMS profile active @ 666.3 MHz (8-8-8-24)

Here I am a few days later, system is up and running and I'm playing around with the settings... At first I had some stability issues because I thought I knew what I was doing but it turned out I didn't, so I dug around on google and some forums and found out I had the ram settings too high. Turns out I had to set it to 1067 MHz @ 2-8 to get it to clock at 8-8-8-24 which is what is written on the stick. Now that I think I have that situation figured out I'm on to the next thing, higher clock speeds. I set everything to auto, except for the RAM profile, and haven't had any problems so far.

I've been running SuperPi and wPrime to test small loads and everything was fine. CPU temp never went to anything alarming. I just started testing with Prime95, talk about a stress test - good program! After a hour and a half of Prime95:

cores: ~70/69/69/65ish

CPU is @ 58-59C
VREG @ 62-63C
System @ ~35C

Voltages:
+3.3V @ 3.31
CPU VCORE @ 1.31-1.32
DRAM @ 1.65 (drops to 1.63V occasionally)
CPU VTT @ 1.41-1.42
NB CORE @ 1.14

+5V @ 5.05
+12V @ 12.11
VSB3V @ 3.28
VBAT @ 3.18

(These readings are from the ELeet tuning utility)


How's the data look, everything seem ok or is there something I should know about?




EDIT: ! PROBLEM !

Start up DRAM voltage too high, 1.69 when it should be 1.65. posted here:
