Thasp Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I have the asus p5k deluxe, and a pcp&p 510. The 510 only has a 4 pin cpu connector. The board works with just that, but it expects an 8 pin. I use a q6600, 3.52 GHz, at 1.625v after the option to get rid of vdroop is put on. So I'm pretty sure my CPU is getting more power than joe 4 pin's.. Would it be possible to further rape my CPU, or have better stability at higher speeds if I had a native 8 pin PSU, or is that extra 4 just for nonsense?

CPDMF Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 With the clocks you already have I doubt an 8 pin PSU would allow for any higher MHz. Might try a 4 to 8 pin adapter just for S & G, your PSU can definitely supply the power, we both know that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thasp Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 I have 5 HDs, a DVD drive, 2 gigs of memory, the 7800gt, a raid card, a tuner card, soundcard, 4 120mm fans, 4 80mm fans, a pump. At peak power, when I first start the two orthoses at the same time the multimeter reads a drop from 12.1 to 11.6. Maybe this is just me making excuses so I can buy a new toy, maybeit's a seious issue. I've decided it's time to buy a new toy to find out, but I can't find any PSUs that test with the low amount of ripple these do so I haven't bought a new one yet.
