Primed for 8 hours stable.

hows this?

the temps ok? bearing in mind it's a very hot day today

what would people consider a good temp?

is 1.32 average or good for 4.5?

your temp is fine with those 66c.

will surfing the net while prime is running effect it?

No. If anything its better will stress it more and more chance of a blue screen quicker if its not stable.

It won't stress it more, it'll just slow down core 0 a bit under the Prime testing as it takes some processor time away from Prime. Thus you'll notice core 0 lagging behind on the tasks slightly.

2hr 20 mins into prime now at 4.5ghz

volts at 1.31, breifly going up to 1.32 every now and then

edit: worker stopped after 4 1/2 hrs

bugger

4 1/2 hours is good to go imo unless your into folding and leave it crunching for days on end.
These stress tests push the system to the limit, much harder than nearly anything most of us use our pc's for day after day.
A Prime95 error after that long probably means theres like a 0.01% chance of ever getting an error during normal use.

My biggest concern today is my 4th core.

I'm running my 2500k at 4.4Ghz @ 1.2v and my other 3 cores are all between 30 and 34 degrees, whilst the 4th goes from about 34-38. No idea why. Obviously they're not dangerous temps, but it's not kind to my thought patterns having to worry about a single 'ickle core.

Little sod.

Haha

Nowt to worry about m8 they all do it, one bloke said his goes as high as 11c difference between core #0 & #2
I've had 9c diff on mine between the same two, weird thing is core #3 is always a few degrees higher than the others when its idling.

MrChops · 27 Jun 2011 at 00:01

Core #1 always seems to run hottest under full load for me. Currently hovering around 56,60,58,56* respectively with a Vcore of 1.224v under Prime.

In today's heat mine's at 30-34 when it IDLING!

Ive seen mine 11c difference most of the time its 9 or 10

there seem to be a lot of people on here with the z68-extreme4 + 2500k chips but very few posts on their oc settings. anyone got any advice for when my chip turns up tomorrow?

Overclock it?

lol yeh

i only want something modest like 4GHz, dont want to be greedy.

whipgeez those temps are fine, but I'm only running 1.28V for 45*100...

Regarding Load-line Calibration, I've left it at Auto as I didn't really understand what it does! PLL Overvoltage I've disabled as the word overvoltage sounds scary to me.

A good starters guide I found was http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/overclocking/39184-p67-sandy-bridge-overclocking-guide-beginners.html

(BIOS of the P8Z68-V Pro is pretty much identical).

bulldog147 · 27 Jun 2011 at 12:13

Don't forget one things, not all board and chip will work the same as those settings, you cannot just buy the same board and copy all settings, it doesn't work that way because the sandybridge cpu chip is different than this chip on the site! All cpu chips are like the winners and losers (Excellent chip, Medium chip or Poor chip)

What does your 1.28 vcore drop to when running LinX or Prime95?

LLC reduces what is known as vdroop which is basicly the amount that your voltage drops under load

eg. 1.28v set in bios with LLC Auto drops to 1.25v when stability testing - 1.28v > 1.25v = vdroop
If you now set LLC Medium then the vcore would only drop to say 1.265v under load, meaning you can shave a bit off your vcore setting but still retain that 1.25v under load.

PLL Overvoltage is only needed for higher overclocks of usually 4.8Ghz or more on most chips with only a very few golden cpu's going upto 5.2 - 5.4 with it disabled.
Also sleep mode doesn't work with it on Auto or Enabled on P67/Z68 mobo's.

Ah right, thanks. With 1.28V in BIOS the lowest I've seen it in CPU-Z whilst under load is 1.27V.

Thats very good vdroop to say you got it on Auto.
I went from a P67 Pro to this Z68-V Pro and although very similar boards I noticed this Z68 handles the vcore better with less vdroop.

whipgeez · 27 Jun 2011 at 17:07

is there anyway to set the voltage manually and still have it drop down with speeds? or is offet mode the only way on these asus boards?
