IVIYTH0S Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Wait so it is or isn't stable before the vcore bumps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt768 Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Wait so it is or isn't stable before the vcore bumps? It wasent, it only made it 2 passes, but bumping the vcore made it LESS stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt768 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) It wasent, it only made it 2 passes, but bumping the vcore made it LESS stable. I think the board might be getting too hot? I got it to do 5 passes on intelburntest while I held a fan pointing at the heatsink, so i tried for 20 passes but this time it would even get past 2 with the same settings?! Im thinking of resetting the heatsink ? Edited August 18, 2011 by matt768 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck of the draw on that possibly - there's some randomness on when it will actually give a bad result. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 more vcore, hopefully you haven't reached your wall so soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt768 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) more vcore, hopefully you haven't reached your wall so soon bumped the vcore 2 notches and completed 20 passes (stopped it at 20) of intelburntest @ 3.4 Edited August 18, 2011 by matt768 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 bumped the vcore 2 notches and completed 20 passes (stopped it at 20) of intelburntest @ 3.4 20 passes is usually pretty sufficient. If it can run prime95 for a 3-4 hours you're most likely stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 my vcore under load is 1.37, think there is any room to push it higher? If I recall correctly 1.45 volts is about the max you want to push through a Q9xx0 chip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt768 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) If I recall correctly 1.45 volts is about the max you want to push through a Q9xx0 chip. Now that is 1.45 under load correct? So if it is over 1.45 in bios but falls under with vdroop it is ok (as long as temps are ok as well)?

Waco Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 AFAIK yes, but I don't know for sure. Hopefully someone else can chime in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I always hear mixed things when it comes to vcore, some say 1.4 max, others say 1.36, never get a definitive answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
