i used Prime95 and CoreTemp. CoreTemp when i was watching it was saying 42c to 61c. Prime95 seemed to be going well then about 30 mins running both, up popped a blue screen say something like memory dump hardware malfunction and something about bois fault. then went to a black screen and computer started to bleep one long bleep. now computer will not start. i put everything into the other motherboard and all was well , put back to broken one and nothing. so seems like it blow something on the motherboard. glad it wasn't the q6600. motherboard is only 2 weeks old, guess where i'm going in the morning.
I've been having a nightmare since going to a Q6600 G0 
and last night i thought i would swap out my AW9D-Max for the F-I90HD I had in my media PC as i had read that the AW9D-Max did not like the G0 stepping
Which could kinda explain the random BSOD's i've been getting lately!
I had a bit of a mess getting the Bios updated on the F-I90HD and have not had a chance to really check how stable it is, but i deffo cant push mine past 3ghz still as the F-I90HD really does not have great options on the new bios for overclocking.
