45nm core volt max

How exactly are you checking that your overclock is stable? You'd normally get a copy of Prime95 and let it run for at least an hour or 2 if not more. Then check the temps using coretemp.
 
yep, ive been using prime 95, temps are getting high so im waiting for my Arctic freezer to come tommorow before i go any further, after prime 95 for about an hour and a half ive got temps of about 65 degrees, ive also been playing games which is stressing my cpu to and raising the temps
 
make sure you have loadline calibration enabled in bios, virtually stops any kind of core voltage drop under load and you may be able to bring the v core volts down even more as there is no droop to allow for :)
 
checking my temps just now and ive got 3 programs that i can use:

Coretemp: 50 degrees

AI suite: 38 degrees

AI probe: 38 degrees

I'm guessing the bottom to are the same as they are both ASUS programs and presumably using the same sensor, was wondering whether the coretemp one could be right?

I see there JeffyB you have the same chip and board as me, what temps are you getting? do you get the same difference between asus programs and coretemp?

None of the APPS read Wolfdales correct (its all over forums)

Thee Asus Striker II I had read much lower then my Striker Extreme (totally wrong readings on newish Beta bios's for these CPU's).

Bios temps, backed up by Asus APP's and Speedfan.
 
oh well, as long as i see a drop when i get my arctic freezer pro tomorrow ill be happy, was worried about burning out my new chip!
 
None of the temp progs work propperly with the e8xxx chips, i try to use coretemp but its pointless really. So long as you are at or below 1.25v i don't see you have any problems heat wise even with the stock cooler.
 
If my chip is undervolted then surely the courrent will be higher, would this damage the chip? atm it 0.02 volts lower than stock with an 11% overclock.

How accurate are the voltage readings for the new cores? if temps cant be read accurately, can the voltage?

yes use a multi meter to read direct on the board.

the 45nm are a lot weaker than the 65nm IMO. I have benched many hours over 1.9v with 65nm and was confident the CPU would be fine. With 45nm i dont like to go over 1.8v :(

I would keep under 1.5 with decent air/water cooling if i was really that worried. :)
 
well i got to 3.6 GHz on stock volts of 1.19, so i think ill be safe, super pi, 1 million in 13.166 seconds :) im not clocking any more, might even put it back to stock, i dont want it waring out and 3 GHz is probably enough for me.
