timko Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 Nice work THunDA. I'll be adding this to my bookmarks to give to newcomers to overclocking when they post for help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedy Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 Is it true that when you set vcore 1.4 + % is better then 1.55 or so ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THunDA Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 Is it true that when you set vcore 1.4 + % is better then 1.55 or so ? Some have found it to be a little more stable.. I think it was one of the OCZ guys that said it helped with Winnies when overclocking.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 I've found that the 90nm cpu's respond better to lower actual vcore + increased special VID (ie instead of 1.55v, setting it to 1.300v + 123% for example) since i saw that working out well, I have been using it on my 130nm chips also and it seems to work well also!

Guest burningrave101 Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Some have found it to be a little more stable.. I think it was one of the OCZ guys that said it helped with Winnies when overclocking.. I have spoke to one of the OCZ reps about it before and he said it has something to do with a windows driver adjusting the voltage down to 1.45v if you try to set the vcore higher then 1.45v on the newer A64 chips. He said if you want more then 1.45v that you should use a vcore + special combo to get it. In other words, dont set the vcore higher then 1.45v.

Angry_Games Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 windows should not (and doesnt to my knowledge) have any bearing on the cpu voltages at all (unless you are running a bios-level program like Ntune) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest burningrave101 Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 windows should not (and doesnt to my knowledge) have any bearing on the cpu voltages at all (unless you are running a bios-level program like Ntune) I havn't looked into it much yet but thats just the word i'm getting from one of the OCZ reps. The newer AMD64 CPU's (probably drivers) will set your voltage back to 1.45v no matter what you set for VID above 1.45v. This was killing overclocks in Windows of course. I discovered that using lower then 1.45v and the 123% apparently "fools" the CPU or drivers, so you get the voltage you want. I have posted this in a few big forums and most with overclocking issues had much success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted June 3, 2005 Posted June 3, 2005 Ill talk to andy about it but i will bet money this just isnt true since Windows only controls voltages with a bios-level software like Ntune (that can manipulate voltages/settings/timings of the BIOS from within windows) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbomb944 Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 If you look in cbid it shows a setting "max ramp" 1.45. It can change the power from within windows. I've never tried it though. Changing the multi works though. http://cbid.amdclub.ru/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
two left feet Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Hi THunDa, nice guide man. Just about to move over from the old trustie NF2 mobile 2600 combo. Guess its time start making backups etc.. respect.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
