Ziggy54354 Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 1.65 cooling on air.... uhmmmm... something sounds terribly wrong with that. I just got my e8400 to 4ghz... it needed alot more voltage that i expected. I'm at 1.4v right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenz Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 hope this helps: The OC I got 24+ Hours stable in orthos. Mine needs this much volts to run at this speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 And none of your cpus are degrading from voltages that high. Intels spec for max vcore on this cpu is 1.3625v. Now I have seen others use 1.4-1.42 just fine but 1.6... I'm fine with mine only needing 1.39 to run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never achieve that speed on such little voltage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehit Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 mine is an Xeon server chip. they are usually hand picked silicon and can take some pretty serious heat. i did not say i run it that way 24/7, but have made benchmark runs at that speed. my chip has not degraded in the least and will go right back to 4.7 when asked. soon i will have it mounted on my tech bench and will be shooting to get a suicide run at 5.0... i can easily get to 4.0 with the voltages you guys are using. 4.7 is a pretty large jump from 4.0.

Guest ajmatson Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I personally would not go above 1.45v on the CPU. Also those temps seemed high. What cooler do you have and what thermal paste are your using? Does your case have good airflow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I have a Zalman CNPS9000 and I'm using Artic Silver 5. Airflow seems alright but I do think I need to redo the paste as the fan was loose and vibrating and I had to remove it to fix the vibration. Well see how far my temps drop then but for now they are alright. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause with this summer heat our computers are going to need more cooling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Redid paste. Dropped to 50C from 52C. Should drop more once the paste breaks in. Edit: must be working its self in already. Temp is around 47-48C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
