QX6850 - Help me clock thread... PLEASE!?!?!

[CharmedLover84]

I'll try that... gotta vamp it up til it hit's 1.3Vs readout since it doesn't readout anywhere near what it's actually set at... I dunno, this is just really tickin' me off and I'm tired of it ruining my days.

 

 

And your link don't work Gonna reboot and flick all that crap around... I'll letcha know what happens quickly if it works if not... well I'll be doing yet another CMOS clear.

 

ADDED BY EDIT: Never mind, got your link to work LOL

[CharmedLover84]

Okay, after reading that, I'm gonna reboot, disable all that garbage and set to 1.3Vs, and give it a go at 3.333GHz... I wish they woulda posted their bios settings though... not that it woulda helped as that's not an EVGA mobo... we'll see.

[CharmedLover84]

Again it would not boot windows without FSB/Mem being set to "linked"...

 

I'm at 3.333GHz though at the suggested voltage from that site... we'll see how that goes. I think last time I tried this is froze after a few minutes of normal usage.

 

Anywho, I'm now at 3.333GHz (multi set to 10), with 1.3V set in BIOS (1.248V reading out in CPUz ::Checks everest:... 1.25 according to everest.

 

Core 1 is reading as the hottest of the four... I may end up poppin' the heatsink off and redoing it with some arctic silver, I didn't like how they had the paste on the heatsink to begin with, maybe my instinct about that was right... I'll be runnin' Prime95-25 again, I'll letcha know when/if it fails. Hopefully in 8 hours I'll be happy and not furious again.

Also, IF it actually passes, I'll be makin' an OCDB entry around midnight tonight.

If you think this is difficult be glad you didn't buy the DFI.

[Splave]

haha yeah for realz praz

 

Pretty much if you set 1.3v in the bios then go back into the bios it usually sets it .04-.05 off consistently then when running it under a load usually drops it another .01-.02. (what you see in everest and cpuz while priming)

 

Goodluck! and report back charmed

[CharmedLover84]

Well... just failed on Core#2 at 18 minutes. At least it failed this time instead of freakin' freezing.

 

Whatcha think guys? 1.35Vs? 1.325Vs?

[Darkorb]

try higher volts man, maybe these ones need a bit more. so ur telling us that on stock its not stable? then why would u proceed to OC if its not stable at stock..

 

try a bit higher volts on the CPU and see if it works oor not

[CharmedLover84]

it wasn't stable at stock when I used lower voltages... it passed over 9 hours of Quad Core load the other day before I ran outta RAM cuz I wasn't paying attention, so I think it was stable at stock at what voltage the mobo gave it... but that was like... a lot more than it needed, I think... 1.372 or something ::Checks her captures of the 3DMarks cuz they have CPUz in them::

 

1.288V reading out in CPUz, looks like BIOS was set at 1.3375 according to NV Monitor's readout (which is usually what the bIOS is set at)...

 

Any ideas what I should do for the OC? Try the "stock" voltage it set maybe?

[Splave]

Yeah, default vcore is 1.35v so it will probably drop to 1.31v after you set 1.35 in the bios. Try setting to 1.35v

 

 

What does the stock HS look like. I cant find a pick on line. I know when I just got my q6600, I was going to see what I could get on stock cooling and it would boot to windows and shut off because it was too damn hot at stock! Is it the same as the qx6700?

[CharmedLover84]

I'm at 1.3375 in BIOS now, tryin' that out since it's the one that gave my stock speed a 9 1/2 hour run.

 

We'll see if this lasts... LOL If it passes I'll be reporting stability around 1AM tonight.

[Splave]

lol cant say that I will be awake, but will be pullin for ya!

 

Any thoughts on getting tuniq or ultra?

 

So right now you are just trying to see how low voltage you can go and get stock clocks correct?
