The Intel Quadcore Database

I have my vcore at 1.5125 in bios and in windows it reads 1.456 under load it drops more.

Im at 3.7Ghz now and its not prime stable, am I ok to run more vcore?

Or should I drop the multi to check the board and ram are stable?
 
Think I might prime 3.87ghz tonight over night. Computer has been on for over 12hours, been doing work in 3ds max and playing games no problem!
Should hopefully pass prime tonight then :)

Temps with window closed, nice and warm room, rad fans on 100%



HDD temps are high but I think its due to the PSU, the PSU is really pumping some heat out, might get a Corsair one once I see what thats like(mate is getting one this week). Might be pumping out a lot of hot air as its 480w running a lot of stuff!

edit:

Pretty sure I can get more FSB out of 1.5v !

Have you put in the adjustment for speedfan 4.33? could be reading those coretemps 15c low... would download 4.34 beta (you have to register @ speedfan webby) to be sure temps are acurate
 
lovely :) looking forward to seeing what you can do with it!

Got my Q6600 to run SuperPI @ 4.222Ghz today, can boot to windows now at just over 4.3Ghz need some better RAM tho.. but pleased I got past the 4.1Ghz barrier where I couldnt get it to boot faster :) had to use 1.625v BIOS vcore start getting nervous at those volts :)

I don't know why anyone would run Speedfan to check temperatures, the only plus side to that software is fan control and events.

Want a nice and accurate temperature/voltage (apart from rails, as nothing but a good DMM will read those obviously) program? then go for CPUID's Hardware Monitor.

Any power supply regardless of its capacity will pump out the same amount of waste heat for the same load at the same efficiency. Look for PSU with higher efficiency's at the load point you're using, just means its wasting less energy as heat. It may be you PSU is overloaded and the efficiency has dropped right off.

Hi Guys, was just wondering what air cooling you recomend for my quad core at the minute I'm struggling get to any stable overclocks with a standard intel HSF!

Pretty pleased since I have swapped out the eVGA 680i for the Intel 965p. I have only had to adjust the vCore everything else is on Auto so far.
