secluded Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 hi guys, i seem to be at a standstill at 3.4 ghz for my e7500... whenever i go higher my system randomly BSOD's or when i start a game up. system specs: windows 7 home premium 64bit CM real power pro 650W EP45-UD3L e7500 2.93ghz - Xigmatek achilles s1284c Geil black dragon ddr2-800 evga gtx560ti SC my current bios settings: 340 x 10 dram frequency latch: 400mhz dram multiplier: 2.00D (gives ratio of 1:1) dram voltage: 2v cpu vcore: 1.33xxxV the system seems quite stable now (no BSOD/CRASHES), skyrim runs amazingly smooth at high settings but i just cant seem to get above 3.4, im trying to aim for 3.6 - 3.8 or possibly even 4ghz. will really appreciate any help.....

nickk47 Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 What is your maximum load temperature right now? Try increasing your voltage to 1.34-1.35 and it might give it enough juice to go 3.6 GHz or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
secluded Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Under load its at 50-53, what about MCH/ICH core voltages? cpu reference/PLL voltages? do i need to step those up too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il_napoletano Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 i would try stepping up the Vcore(cpu voltage)....if this doesn't work....is you pci-e locked at 100? memory speed/multiplier? have you got the got the right drivers? as bsods used to happen to me randomly when playing games when i stepped up to 4.1ghz on my e8400....but then it turned out to be something wrong with the gpu driver...so I reinstalled it..now it runs 4.1ghz perfectly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
secluded Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 yeah it is at 100mhz, so should ah step it up? too how much? my graphics drivers are up to date.... dunno about my motherboard ones tho.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Hi secluded. Welcome to the OCC forums. In most cases you don't need to adjust the PCIe frequency, so set it at Auto or manually to 100 just to make sure it sticks. MCH voltage might help a little. I think default is 1.1v on your board so add .10v to whatever the default is. ICH is the southbridge and honestly you shouldn't have to over volt that at all. Other than that I'm in agreement with most everyone else about bumping your vcore to 1.35v or so if your temps stay in check. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
secluded Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 thanks wevsspot, will try it out and get back ASAP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Just out of curiosity what kind of temp's are you seeing on your chipset? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
secluded Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Just out of curiosity what kind of temp's are you seeing on your chipset? 50-54 on load, only went up to 70 with intelburn test(maximum setting) sorry if you meant my northbridge, im not sure on that i never really got temp reading off it. my my overall motherboard temp always remains below 50 Edited February 16, 2012 by secluded Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
secluded Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) ok guys im on 3.8ghz with bios setting at 1.39v, but the weird part is on everest it reads 1.36v? which one is the true reading?

The 1.36V is probably more correct. Every board suffers from a little vDroop, some from a lot. It's a normal thing, so don't worry about it.
