Wouldn't that only happen if the temperature is too high, though?
I've got the full load temp down to the former idle temp, so I have 15 degrees C to spare if it is a heating issue.
My mobo doesn't let my change the fsb values though. And SetFSB doesn't list my motherboard, so I don't want to risk using that either. The CG5270 is so obscure too.
I've been thinking about the Q9550. 200 on ebay, 250 on newegg. Plus, a lot easier to overclock. But to OC, I'd need a new mobo, I think. I dunno, I just can't seem to find much info on the cg5270.
