As the title says this is the first time I have really even messed with the bios other than setting up HDD's and stuff.

This was my first attempt at an OC. Please let me know what you think. Does my 3DMark06 score reflect what I have done? Scored in the low 12000's when it was stock.

Also a question about CPU-Z. The core speed fluctuates between 2400mhz and 3600mhz. Is that normal? Is it becasue of the vdroop? It fluctuated at stock speeds, but that was because my cpu voltage was set to auto, or atleast that's why I thought it did it.

I know I can stress my system using Orthos or Prime95, but is there a way to stress my GPU? Playing games the only way? Or are there other programs out there?

The reason the speed is fluctuating is the Intel power saving stuff (EIST, C1E, etc.) It will automatically lower your multi when the CPU is idle. It has nothing to do with vdroop or any voltage setting.

And I would say that a bump of 2000 points in 3Dmark reflects a change, eh?
