thepar Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I have been learning how to overclock the 920. I ran prime 95 on over night and am currently at 59 degrees at load temperatures at stock. I currently have the the CPU voltage at 1.1 for 3.2 GHZ according to this guide: My ram is at 1.5 volts. I was getting around 54 degrees at load temperatures with prime 95 which was less then stock. I though that was strange..... http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/overclockin...-beginners.html My only concern with overclocking is leaving all of the voltages on the AUTO setting. I am afraid the computer will give the uncore voltage too much voltage that would be unnecessary. My other question is it looks like i have to use different ram timings and voltages at different speeds. Is this true? Gigabyte also skipped over 1.65 and went from 1.64-1.66 for the ram. My ram is rated at 1.65 volts at 7-7-7-20 timings. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 The voltage required to run a set speed depends solely on your chip. Each one is different. The same goes for your memory. The faster you go you have to either increase voltage (to a point) or relax the timings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepar Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 What about the voltage to the ram? Will going 1.66 break the ram? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_75 Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 My Bm is the same. I just set to 1.64 and thats fine. They say you can overvolt ram a little but this can reduce its life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 What about the voltage to the ram? Will going 1.66 break the ram? Nope! I have more than a few boards that do that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepar Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Ok, thanks I was a bit confused about that. Any recommendations for the uncore voltage with the CPU voltages at 1.1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what does "relax" the timings mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobBan-Swe Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) Is there anyway to know how much voltage is too much before you actually try it? And what does "relax" the timings mean? Ok little cpu voltage for you: Voltage ? this depend of motherboard and cpu but <_< Extreme voltage i920 around 4600mhz in short time use ( not 100% load like prime blablabla, cpu will burn ! Not over 1,53v with watercooling Not over 1.51v With AIR ------------------ 4300-4400mhz For normal use with program, games, web blabla. no prime cpukillerprogram 1,40-1.45v same Air\WC ----------------------- NO TURBO ENABLE ! cpu dont like 1.4-1-5v with economy 2500mhz . always fullspeed mhz or it will crash ---------------------------------- If you want to burn your cpu to death with 100% 24h load-program for fun, go for just a little tiny more than standard volt Edited March 14, 2010 by RobBan-Swe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 Is there anyway to know how much voltage is too much before you actually try it? And what does "relax" the timings mean? To much is what kills the CPU or degrades it. It can be stock voltage or higher. I have yet to have a CPU die on me with higher than stock voltages but then again I am not pushing 1.5-2.0 volts through them either. Relaxing the timings mean to set them at a level that higher than they were specified to run at . Example 8-8-8-24 are your memory subtimings and to relax them would be to increase the timings Ie 9-9-9-28 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
