bandit8623 Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 hi! i am curious what my cpu voltage should be at. i have a 3700+ san diego core with the lanparty df3 ut d. its at 1.25 right now. i havent over clocked it yet so what should it be at not overclocked and what would be good for starting to overclock? thx in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
divided Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 that actaully seems a bit low. but if its stable at that speed, than thats better than higher voltages. theres no definitive answer to whats the best voltage, just whatever works for you. bump in the smallest increments possible and TEST TEST TEST.

Capt Proton Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 If you're just usimg what is being reported by the motherboard to judge your voltages, don't. The only way to really know what your rails are sitting at is to use a volt meter. Do a search for that and you will find several threads on this. My BIOS was reporting as low as 11.5 for my 12 volt on my old power supply, but the volt meter told me I was at 11.9. I like to use Memtest to test the RAM before I boot into Windows. I use a Bootable CD, as I've never gotten the one in the BIOS to work. Once I'm Memtest stable, I run OCCT and Super Pi. If that is all good, then it's 8 hours of Prime 95.

adreno Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 You may also want to check here for the stock voltage for your core. Typically 1.35-1.4v is safe to start with. http://www.amdcompare.com/us-en/desktop/Default.aspx Also this mobo undervolts cpu voltage, and if you are using Voltage Adjust it overvolts. Be aware of this and either check the tweeks sticky, or better yet do what Capt Proton suggested and use a volt meter, its more accurate. http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17498 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
