Motherboard Monitor 5, technically thats what they call the "Dashboard". MBM5 is no longer in development by the author, so if your motherboard was made in the past year its probably not easily used. I say "easily" because some people have taken it upon themselves to make it work with certain newer boards, my DFI included. Here the link to MBM5:

Also what is your opinion on safe temps? I usually try to keep mine under 50-52 deg. under full load.
Safe is whatever it runs at (if we're talking A64). An A64 has a max temperature that it can handle thats coded in the chip which can be determined by using A64 TCaseMax. All the processors I've had will crash, restart, or shut down when it hits that temp. Also some boards/programs report higher than actual temps <coughLagucough>. Low to mid 50's is fine if its stable AND thats the actual temp.

With this 165 I just knew that it was running higher than what MY board usually reports with dual cores and a 10C drop can make quite a difference.

And one last thing. How is it according to BOINC your floating point speed on the Opteron is 4 times the speed of mine running at 2.3GHz? The integer is almost the same.

Possibly because of the BOINC client I use? Your guess is as good as mine.
