e6700 voltage

[chronic86]

hey guys

i'm currently running at 342fsb x 10 with a vcore of 1.5250 on a p5n32-e sli(1103 bios) thought this was abit high..?? but it doesnt seem to be stable with any thing under 1.5250 do i just have a bad chip?

What's your vdroop like (CPU-Z v1.42 will show you the voltage in Windows)?

 

[chronic86]

cpu-z reports my voltage as 1.616, but its set to 1.5250 in the bios(ntune reports 1.5250)

not to fimilair with vdroop, would ntune show a dip in voltage when under load, or cpu-z only?

 

[Cob]

I'm not familiar with Ntune, but CPU-Z should dip under load, tho it's reading seems to be false anyway if it's reading 1.616v.


You'll probably find that the 1.525v set in BIOS is under 1.5v in Windows, so it's not too bad. But your load temps are more important anyway.

yeah my load temps are fine, 34c idle(browsing/watching video etc) 67c is the highest i've seen under orthos was running around 62 for the most part.

right using everest i can see my voltage at 1.52(this is what it reports) and when i load orthos its drops to 1.49, how does this effect my overclocking and what can be done to prevent it from vdrooping!

Thanks
