kendellrt Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I am currently working on the overclock on the system in my sig. How high can I take the vcore, before it is too much? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 It's.. already too high if you ask me. The max I would put through a winchester is 1.55v .. greg and nrgs (and someone elses) winnies overclocks have slowly got less and less from >1.6v, although maybe theyre just unlucky or something. Someone else says they put 1.7v through their chips and theyve all been fine so.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GmAz Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 well, i don't have a winchester...yet...but on my AMD64 chip with the CG core, i put up to 1.75 volts through. if I don't , i get crappy overclocks. I also use watercooling and right now, with the OC in the screen below, ig et 32C load and about 28C idle. Thoguh I am glad you posted this, now i know when i get a winnie to not go over 1.55 without caution. weird though, though my bios is set at 1.76 volts, it shows around 1.8 in cpuz though int eh screen it is at 1.76. its fluctuating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuzzedintelguy Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 keep it under or at 1.6 on air after the second winnie i caught on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemrboo Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 keep it under or at 1.6 on air after the second winnie i caught on 461716[/snapback] Ah, forgot, confuzzed has experience with SWDS, 'Sudden Winchester Death Syndrome', at vcore >= 1.6v too I was putting 1.65v in to mine for a couple of days, but after I figured that it was probly kinda.. not a sensible thing to do, I am now running at below stock volts (1.35v) with a 400MHz overclock (3000+ = 1.8GHz stock, mine's at 2.2GHz.. memory controller is crap though) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendellrt Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Well, it doesn't matter now. I hit the wall with this chip. I'm not stable at 2.56GHz regardless of vcore and mem timings. I'm, burning in at 2.54 now and then I will try 2.55, but I know that 2.56 won't work. Do you guys see any benefit to lowering the multi and trying to bump up the FSB, or should I just leave it where it is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuzzedintelguy Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 well ill do 1.6 with no worrys but man when you pump 1.7 to it for a couple days you would be surprized it turns into a SNDS situation but other then it slowly loseing its clock it drops by the hour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendellrt Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 What is SNDS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuzzedintelguy Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 sudden northwood death sydrome it was a issue with the older P4 northwoods it was caused by over 1.7v vcore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendellrt Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I was stable with 2.53 @ 1.65v, but when I decided to run tests again just to make sure, it froze. Now it freezes even at lower clocks. I am really frustruated. This CPU doesn't seem to like to keep an overclock. I had it passing all SuperPi tests, S&M Tester, and OCCT without a hiccup. Now I am back at stock. I don't want to start all over! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

confuzzedintelguy Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 from my personal experience i wouldnt do over 1.6 you can do 1.6 but anything over that on stock air seems to onlyy bring issues the first one died to 1.65v and the second one died to 1.75 volts :phear: it was a CBBID i was only trying to get 2.6GHZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
