have you tried it on different computers? it's probably due to your internet security settings.

it's the abit ip35-pro, revision 1, using the 2nd latest beta bios available for it (last official was not penryn quad compatible) so i use revision 16 b09. the basic specs on my system otherwise are:
penryn quad 9450 rev B1 (Engineering sample revision)
vid of 1.018
4 gigs g.skill 8500 memory (4 x 1 gig)
i am using an enzotech extreme cooler with variable speed scythe 120mm fan and mx2 paste

hey, where did you get your beta bios? I'm going home tonight and want to update to the beta bios in preparation for the (supposed) arrival of an x3350 from moogr.com in the next week.
You know that the back-side fan on that case is NOT an exhaust fan, right? (unless you flipped it) It blows air into the case, so your Zalman should be blowing towards the front.Originally posted by: ArizonaSteve
My temperatures suck.
I have a pretty decent Lian-Li (1200, I think) case with two 120mm fans. I have the fan at the front blowing into the case, and the fan at the back blowing air out of the case, so there should be good airflow inside the case.
...
I believe my fans might be running too slow (this system is a helluva lot quieter than the Athlon 64 I had in there before, which idled at 28c). Any suggestions?

Does anyone experience the early-reported problem with 45nm quads, that one of the cores is noticeably slower than the rest?

So which one is correct - CoreTemp or Real Temp?

I'm glad that these Q9450's can easily push 3Ghz and many users are approaching (or passing) 3.5 Ghz. I've been planning to get a completely new system, but the infinite delay of E8400's and Q9450's has kept me waiting. (My AMD Athlon XP-M 2500+ @ 2.3 is starting to get a bit long in the tooth)
For the average overclocker with a Zalman or a TRUE, what would be an attainable overclock without having to resort to extreme measures like changing more than just the cpu/ram voltages? I know YMMV, but is around 3.4 out of the question?
Btw, I would love to see some review sites put the Oc'ed E8400 against the Oc'ed Q9450. I want the quad for folding, but I want to make sure that the performance is up there with the E8400.
