Penth Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I read quite a bit about these chips before I bought one and it said pretty much everyone is getting 2.5 or higher. I'm running at 2.5 right now, but when I run Prime95 on both cores one of them will go for 45 minutes and the other will go for 11 hours. I have OCZ 2x1GB Value Ram... I don't mind running with a divider. and an Ultra-D board. Can anyone recommend what settings I should use and if I should change my bios? Just any suggestions to get a good OC. I'll be happy with 2.6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Well, first I was gonna comment on your RAM-but that shouldn't be much of any issue if you don't mind putting it on a divider...(maybe) Try the 704 beta bios, it's listed in a sticky somewhere around, you'll find it Can fix a lot of problems. What voltage do you have the CPU set to? Might want to bump it up a tad. Otherwise you might just have a bum core, seems like everybody does. I've heard removing the IHS and applying some new thermal paste can help that out, but I have yet to try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penth Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 I tried CPU Voltage at 4.5 and 4.75 but neither would let it prime. I actually already removed the pad and used thermal paste when I first installed it. I'll give that bios a try. I hope it's not a bad core. I had my old winnie running faster than this.

Squid1 Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 Believe me, you didn't run CPU voltage at 4.5 volts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugginOuT Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 4.5 sounds kind of ridiculous. I'm stable @ 2.50Ghz running vCore @ 1.4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
