[RESOLVED] HOOK-UP THE DANG P4/4PIN CONN>> VCore-Problem with La

[Samurai Jack]

The 4pin connector is a must, it feeds the CPU with its own voltage, which could pull down a 12v rail without it hooked up.

 

Also you need to check with a DVOM to be sure of exact voltage, the desktop monitoring software will not read right, bios could read wrong also.

 

The TP 480 Antec would probably be border line PSU for the a64 & high power Vid Card.

 

Thats not to say that there are some 350 or such that will not do the job. I have seen a few out there having such as 380 and others that worked fine. It depends on the brand & build.

That and add the fact that the Corsair Hydrocool runs off the 12V line too ( nagybalfasz_b)

.....I just don't think your PS can cut it.

I didnt notice that, well i didnt know the Corsair ran off the PSU. But if so very good point.

wow guys.. thanks a lot.. that rose the 12rail to 11.77..

 

I'm gonna be getting an OCZ520 soon anyway..

So you didnt have the 4pin hooked up. If so thats great, it will also affect stability & overclocking & how hardware reacts under load & such.

btw, what should I set CPU Vid Control to.. I heard that it should be "anything but AUTO," but I don't know an exact setting..

 

Also, with the 9/12 BIOS do the temps read a little high?

 

Thanks

The 4 pin power connector :eek:

The Intel-guys are used to it, but if someone like me comes from AMD XPs, you don´t even notice that cable on the PSU

Oh man...thanks for the advice Samurai Jack! That was the problem! Really amazing, that the system was nontheless stable with all the little things connected to it I mean the 3400+ running at 2520 MHz with 1.475V VCore and Corsair Hydrocool, Radeon 9800 Pro, 3 HDDs, 2 DVD-drives and three PCI-cards. Wow!!

Now with the connector plugged I´m at 2640 [email protected] VCore

Now I can of course set a higher voltage for the RAM as well, so higher FSBs are the next Thanks a lot!

I'm also at 2640 at 1.65vcore..
