Crawlerz246 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) oooooooookay. so now my BIOS says that the CPU's target (whatever that is) is 3.8GHz. I include a screenie now, as you can see in my sig, my CPU is cooled only by a V8, giving me the toasty 47 @ nearly idle. I'll check BIOS for a completely idle number. I will say this - so far I only fiddled with the BCLK (now it's 190). no changes to voltage was made, everything to AUTO. DRAM is AUTO showing 1523. since my RAM is 1600, is it possible to OC it? I mean put a higher value here? or should I change AUTO to 1523 and fogeddaboudit? plz help, community. I read in AS5's .pdf that it is "broken in by a PC" over many cycles up to 200 hours in total. after that the temps may go down a couple of degress. but isn't 47 a bit much? (I used the line method for it, and the V8's very screwed in, in fact I was afraid of cracking the mobo.) any suggestions will be appreciated. TY *edit* I looked in my BIOS - 44.5 at "idle" CPU voltage is set to manual (as opposed to Offset) but the actual number is set to AUTO sorry about re-editing: looking at all the numbers in CPUZ, I'm wondering why exactly did the BIOS choose 1.416V for the CPU, because the same OC I've seen on yotube a guy keyed in 1.35V - maybe that's the reason for the overheat?

Water_Hazard Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) From the screen shot I would say that your vcore being set to auto is overvolting your cpu. try manually setting it a little lower. It should help with temps a lot. Also it doesnt look like your motherboard is factoring in turbo boost, thats why it says 3.8(20x190) so you are actually at 3.99(21x190) what cpu-z is showing Edited February 13, 2010 by Water_Hazard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water_Hazard Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) I would slowly step it down to find out where it starts to be unstable. It will probably be in the 1.35 range but just play around with it and see. turning turbo boost off will drop it down to a x20 multi. so you will be at 3.8. Just depends on what you are aiming for.

Yea just depends on your cooling, set it at 1.3 and see how high a speed you can get with it. If its to hot lower it to 1.275 and see how high it will go. I have a 920 that will do 4.2Ghz with 1.275 and I have one that needs 1.45 to do 3.8Ghz. You just have to check it there all different...

Water_Hazard Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 could there be over voltage on the VTT as well? May want to check. should not need more than 1.2 for 3.8ghz. Could also be one of the things causing the high heat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiver_8 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 I've seen most people hit 4ghz under 1.3v...... 90% with only 1.25v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
