so i finially got the thing semi stable at 200fsb(failed after 2 hours 38min i think to a power issue but im unsure...im just kinda watching my rails and running prime95 now...my vore jumped to 3.2 blink.gif ...twice in the last 20 mins mad.gif ...this probably isnt good is it... huh.gif

yea im looking into the fortron 520 watt or the enermaz 460w...i dono which i should get

Either of those power supplies should work well. I've personally heard more positive things about enermax tho. If you want to save some cash, try one of these.
I've had no problems with mine under a massive load, and it comes pre-sleeved in UV green. They also come in blue and black. smile.gif

i dont know if the sometimes the is it the asus probe that gets the temps wrong?

Plus of to another subject, my mate used a mobo monitor to look at his vcore, and on his prescott, he was telling me it went from 1.1 to 2 volts. I thought that if it was doing that, then his chip would go frazzle, so he checked the bios and it was normall, check your bios to see what it is.

if your vcore went up to 3.2, your processor would be dead. it's def. a bad reading.

also...at that exact same moment it's running the same voltage as the 3.3v rail. prolly just messed up.

i hope so but why am i going unstable im prime then?
airman
maybe it's just pushing 200 fsb...is your processor unlocked? if so...take the multi up, and put the fsb down.

if not....just take the fsb down until it's stable, is all i can tell you. also...look at the readings in the bios, and tell us what they are.

also...for stability, push the voltage up to something like 1.875...the voltage in your siggy looks a little low. i'm not an AMD guy, but someone here is, and they'll confirm that voltage.

look at my sig... 1.825 effective vCore (its 1.775v in bios but my mobo overvolts) and only 192fsb...

yer probably gonna need more than stock vCore to hit 3200+ (2.2GHz) you've got a nice air solution and 34"C load is a nice starting point...

i'm at 43"C load after a lot of faffing about with air intakes...

use Motherboard Monitor 5 (aka mbm5) or SpeedFan... you can select your mobo model and sometimes the bios version so that you get the PROPER readings...

try increasing the vCore step by step... up it a notch, run prime and fold at same time to test stability (fastest method i've found) if it fails then reboot, up vCore again... and keep an eye on your temps while this is going on (if you prime overnight then set a shutdown temperature - maybe 65"C - in your bios so your computer will turn off if your temps go up a lot, not likely thanks to your slk/tornado but always good as a precaution)

yea right then i was running at 1.85v and i cant go higher then that
