Clocking Advice/Tips Needed

Ummm dropped it back to 3200 due to running Prime95 and it crashes and burned.

Realist · 3 Dec 2007 at 21:30

Temps are 39 Deg or less idle and 50 -55 under load.

At 3600 the core voltage was 1.5 and at 3200 its 1.35ish.

Realist · 3 Dec 2007 at 21:48

True.

Whats the best way to setup prime?

Realist · 4 Dec 2007 at 14:52

Ok thanks.

Started Prime and I see something happening and the processor are running 100%. How long does this go on for?

I do have core temp but its reading high temps.

Im using PC Probe that came with the Mobo and thats saying the CPU at idle is 33 Deg and now Im running Prime its saying under load its 53c.

Core Temp says the following:

Tjunction: 100c
Core 0: 65c
Core 1: 65c
Core 2: 59c
Core 3: 59c

Which is correct?

PS,

Core temp says the frequency is: 3599.87Mhz (449.98 x 8) which is wrong.

Realist · 4 Dec 2007 at 15:12

CPUZ says the core speed is: 3200 not 3599.87 as its reported using Core Temp?

Realist · 4 Dec 2007 at 15:17

So if Core Temp is wrong on the core temp are the temps correct?

System just crashed. Dont know if it was me cos I was using the system at the same time or Prime.

Will try again.

Realist · 4 Dec 2007 at 15:47

CPUZ says the multiplier is X8 not 9.

Realist · 4 Dec 2007 at 15:49

System rebooted.

when your system crashed what core(s) did it fail on? it would have gone red indicating core(s) failure

Current details:

Will redo a new shot when I reinstall Core Temp.

Realist · 4 Dec 2007 at 16:41

Reinstalled Core Temp and its still saying the same details.

Realist · 4 Dec 2007 at 17:25

I'll change it to 9 and see what happends.

Realist · 4 Dec 2007 at 19:18

Ok will do.

Iam using the latest now

and I'll keep plugging away slowly.

Will carry on tomorrow now cos foods done and Im in bed at 9 up for work at 3:15am.

Regards.

Im back.

Tried to change settings up/down and kept at stock but finding a middle road is hard.

If I leave it as stock all's fine and the max I can run the CPU at without any failings is 3000 max and thats it. If I go over that the thing crashes and reboots.

I've upped the FSB no joy, I've upped the Vcore no joy and gone the other way and so far Im unable to get a top overclock apart from the 3.0Ghz max.

Wondering if its the mobo!

Regards.

If I upgrade then my new OEM Vista will be no good.

Realist · 9 Dec 2007 at 12:05

True, so if I change the bobo its just a simple call to MS to get it activated again.

And on a side note, what other mobo would you recommend?

Realist · 9 Dec 2007 at 12:38

Not worth the hassle, costs and for what.

Stick to what I have for now, change it when the time comes.

Anyway, its steady at 3.0Ghz.

Realist · 9 Dec 2007 at 13:44

Upped the Vcore to 1.58 so it shows 1.5 in CPUID and upped the FSB so now it runs at 3.2Mhz.

Trouble is the temps are:

Idle: 40/41c
Load: over 65c plus topped 71c

Are these temps ok and will the CPU take it!

Tempted to lap the CPU and cooler to see if that lowers the temps a bit.

Regards.

Just found this:

Scale 2: Quad
Q6x00: Tcase Max 71c, G0 Stepping, Tjunction Max 100c, Vcore Default 1.372, TDP 95w, Delta 10c

-Tcase/Tjunction-
--70--/--80--80--80--80-- Hot
--65--/--75--75--75--75-- Warm
--60--/--70--70--70--70-- Safe
--25--/--35--35--35--35-- Cool

My max temps are showing warm to safe so if I drop the vcore I'll see if it runs ok and hence get the temps down.
