ccokeman Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 HT voltage helps with stability at high FSB speeds. The northbridge will take some volts but each combination is different. For 450x8 on my Q6600and 4GB of memory I use Vcore 1.465 Vtt 1.4 NB 1.6 Actively cooled SB 1.6 HTT 1.7 DDR 2.06 5-5-5-12 TRFC of 54 These get me Prime stability with my Q6600 at 1800 /1000 unlinked. Temps on the nortbridge get way hot even with the stock NB voltage so just throw a fan over it and you will be fine. Actively cool all the heatsinks on the board as well.

I think i may need more voltage on the NB and intern more cooling thats why I cant reach 4ghz everytime I put the NB over 1.5 the system destabilizes, should I have the fans blowing on the chipsets or away from them like a cpu cooler Edited April 2, 2008 by troy5061 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put that stuff at 2.2 and try it again. Your SB voltage is super high. Anything over 1.5 v SB is getting high, I see no need for that. NB voltages over 1.6 are high. But watch the system temp, and don't exceed 45 C on the board or it will have problems. LAAkuma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAAkuma Im running 1.45v NB 1.5v SB its the lowest it goes in bios.....at auto it sets it at 1.55v I now have 4gigs of crucial ballistix tracers at 800mhz. Crucial says 2.2v but even at 2.1 at 800mhz I get blue screens when I back it off to 1.9-1.95 it runs great. It seems more stable with the new ram. I can do 4ghz for a while at fsb 1780 unlinked ram 800...it doesnt seem to like to be linked vcore 1.3625 ram 1.95 nb 1.45 sb 1.5 htt 1.35 vtt 1.4 but it will lock up half way through 3dmark06.
