Puck Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Ur making me feel like I'm undervolting my CPU. I only used 1.6V so far coz the next step up in BIOS is 1.8V. I'm scared. . Should I go for it? I'm at 1.36v still! Probably wont have to push this chip past 1.45 or maayyybe 1.5v max...every chip is different and this one seems to do fine on lower voltages. 1.325 is prime stable at 4.2ghz.

The Smith Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 If it dies then it gives me a good excuse to get an E8600 . But first I'll make sure I've got OCed scores b4 trying 1.8V. Yeah that's what I've done: Getting scores @4.2GHz and before voltmodding my 8800GT. Just in case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARandomOWL Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I could do but I didn't really need to go for that suicide, I just felt brave, quickly followed by stupid. I am lookin @ a new mobo, probably rampage extreme. I might go nehalem after seeing it properly in action but either way I would like to go 4 WCing. BTW, that cheese & onion soup looks quite appetizing, did u make it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philbrown23 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 do you have air conditioning? if so run it directly in front of you ac unit, also try lowering the multi to 8X500/525 see what that gets you, those jigabite p35's have been known to hit 575 with quads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomOWL Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 It's not hot enough here in the UK 4 A/C, otherwise I would have already used that trick. I will try a lower multi in teh morn (it's 1:20AM here). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
