I posted this in a reply to my other thread, but figured that this is a better place for the post since its motherboard/bios related..
Currently, 1hr Prime95 stable at 4.9GHz 49x multi at 1.35v (HW Monitor Pro shows a min 1.34 max 1.38 vcore) Still working on figuring out why it fluctuates like that when I set it to 1.35 in bios... unless its supposed to? Also could cores 2/3 be hotter than 1/4 if thermal paste isn't on there evenly or enough? Or should I not worry about it... Sorry for all the questions my 955BE was always at 1.41 vcore and didnt fluctuate this much, maybe down to 1.40 . With the vcore at 1.32 I would BSOD at the start of Prime95, but with it set to 1.35 I'm good at the moment.

Again cores 2/3 jump up a little then drop back to that 77/78 range
May be able to get temps for cores 2/3 down if I can figure out how to keep vcore from moving so much. I guess my concern is, whether its normal for the vcore to fluctuate like that or is it supposed to stay constant under load? Right now CPU-Z shows 1.368 but jumps around a bit to 1.352, 1.360 or 1.376. Most of the time its 1.368 or drops to 1.360 but I've seen the other 3 values too while staring at it. Is this something that the motherboard does depending on what it thinks the cpu needs or?
Thanks, and again sorry for my noobiness.. Never really messed with This high of an OC or Intel OC in general
