I am getting about a 10-14 deg c difference in temps when running Orthos and TAT. I want to push this chip more but TAT shows me at 62-63 deg c when loading cores. My temps are 48-52 deg c when loading cores via Orthos. Is TAT overkill?
Thanks,

This has been a great learning experience... thanks to all your help and expertise. Here's where I am at...
3244MHz
360.47 Bus x 9
bios set 1.4v vcore
SPD still enabled (1:1; running at 360.5MHz; Cas#Latency = 5; Ras#toCas#Delay 6; Ras# Precharge 6; Cycle time (tras) 18; Bank cycle time...
After dropping ram voltage back to 1.9v and FSB to 333, was stable again.
Bumped up cpu voltage by .05v to 1.35v and went back to 345Mhz FSB. Orthos ran stable for about 1 hour and will run overnight. So far so good.

Orthos did fail again after about 15 minutes at 345MHz FSB (w/ 1.95v for RAM).
I dropped ram voltage back to 1.9v and bus speed to 335MHz. I already ran Orthos for 12 hours with no errors, but 2 sessions of Superpi 32m fail.... I get a "Not convergent in sqr05" error.
In cpuz, the "memory" tab has 345.5MHz (1:1). The "SPD" tab shows two tables. The first states only 270MHz (4-4-4-13) while the second states 400MHz (5-5-5-18).
Without changing any RAM timings I bumped the memory voltage from 1.9v to 1.95v and was able to run Orthos longer without errors...
Arcygenical,
My RAM is rated for 5-5-5-12. In CPUz it states:
Cas#latency = 5
Ras# to Cas# Delay = 6
Ras# Precharge = 6
Cycle Time (tras) = 18
Bank Cycle Time (trc) = 24
Sorry for the noob question, but which settings should I lower by 1?
By the way, thanks for your "The...
