mhixson Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Which one of these should I aim for when OC'ing my CPU? Right now, I am at 268 x 10 with 1.550 x 104.8%, and I'm running at full load around 49º according to MBM. 270 x 10 locks up during SuperPi, but I think if I give it a little more voltage, maybe around 2.65, I might be able to hit that. Is that too much voltage to run to the CPU on a normal basis, even if the temperature holds steady around 50º? Thoughts?

ixtapalapaquetl Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Many people tend to be a little more conservative with voltages on dual cores. I would not suggest going higher than you are for 24/7. But it's your chip, and your call. I typically find a 50MHz difference between my max SuperPi 32M and my max stable Prime95. If you are interested in prime stability, you may need to back off anyways. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Run 2 instances of prime with affinity set to each core and see what kind of temps you get with that voltage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlinz23 Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 dude I know was running 1.79v with his watercooling setup, not really sure why, but his temps were ok...my air cooler is about even with his idle and load temps at the same speed etc, but Im never going to put over 1.6 on air...if I decide I want 2.7 the highest im going to go is 1.575v...its not worth it when Im dual prime stable @ 2.6 with 1.425v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
preelude Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 both heat and high voltage kills your chip try to stay under 50C load and 1.6v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhixson Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 prime failed on one of the cores during test 2 at the settings i listed. highest temp it recorded was 53º. dropped it down to 265 x 10 at 1.525 x 104.8% and it's gone through the first 3 tests at a high of 52º. Going to let that run overnight and see if it remains stable, and if it does, may drop the voltage a bit and run it again while i'm at work tomorrow.
