how do i turn it down in bios?

Check in your bios. There should be an option for Vcore or CPU Vcore or something similar.

Manually set this to 1.2v.

Also make sure your using the latest version of CPU-Z.

im usein 1.47cpuz
this is what the bios looks like
cpu core voltage vid 1.2500v
tartget cpu core voltage 1.2500v
cpu vtt voltage 1.10v
thats all the cpu ones but in cpuz the core voltage is 1.504v

 

[VTR]

Should be fine with v1.47.

Is there any Auto options in the bios for those settings you've listed?

Try those and see what voltage your getting? What board are you using?

I have a week 20 Q820A750 pack date 07/24/08.
Will be using custom phase change cooling (-60c) and an Biostar IP45, I will let you know how I get on soon.

That should make for some interesting results.....

the bios is all set to auto.im using a Abit IX38 QuadGT Intel X38 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

 

[VTR]

If they're currently on auto then manually set the Vcore to 1.2v.

the vid one or the target 1

 

[VTR]

Is this your bios screen? If so set voltages control to user define and then set the CPU Core Voltage VID to 1.2v and CPU Core voltage offset to 0.0v

Leave all other voltages at their default values (apart from your DDR2 voltage if your using RAM that requires a certain voltage, if so set that here also)

 

[VTR]

the vid one or the target 1

Set them both to 1.2v if possible, not too familiar with the Abit Bios.

It could well be that CPU-Z is reading them wrong though but I'd personally set them manually just to be sure.

 

[singo]

yea thats my bios i will try now.what voltage should my memory be set at this is my ram

[VTR]

2.1v, default should be 1.8v so if you can't enter 2.1v manually you will need to set it to +0.3v

 

[singo]

right set the vid to 1.2000v but in cpuz it still says 1.504v and in core temp the vid still 1.2500v?

 

[VTR]

The VID will stay as 1.2500v in Core temp as that's the actual VID of the CPU. (the voltage set for the chip in factory, same model's of CPU's have varying VID's - mine's the same as yours.)

The core CPUZ value should reflect your actual voltage though which should change depending on what you set it at in the bios. It seems as if it's not reading it correctly for some reason? I'm not too familar with your board, it may be possible that there's a problem with CPUZ and the Abit board displaying a correct reading?

 

[singo]

yea think its my board just bin lookin on abit site found this http://www.abit.com.tw/cpu-support-list/mb/intel_x38_ix38-quadgt.htm my cpu not in list.ill just have to wait 4 a bios up date or change my board

 

[VTR]

If there isn't one already there should be one soon for your board to support the E8600.

 

[Bizarre]

Bizarre, your chip sounds about the same as mine; stable at 4.2Ghz at 1.32v (is that 1.32v CPUID?)

Yes mate, 1.32v underload recorded via cpuz, and 1.328v idle.

The most I've gave it is 1.5v but only to see if lack of voltage was causing the chip to become unstabe at the higher clocks.

Personally, for 24/7 use I'd never go as high as 1.4v on these 45nm chips.

 

[VTR]

Yeah I'm keeping the voltage under 1.4v now for 24/7 use, only briefly went higher to test. 4.4Ghz was 2hrs Orthos stable at 1.44v for 2hrs. Any less and it was failing in <10mins.

Testing 4250mhz at 500FSB at the moment, looking good so far but want to get some definate results before posting up. But I think 4.25-4.3Ghz is going to be stable around 500FSB with <1.35v.

Hehe

the pain!!! the pain!!! why did i start this thread...

very very nice

 

[VTR]

I hate you mremulator

Seriously thinking of selling my E8600 and looking for a Q822A435!

My board seems good for 500FSB+ so that coupled with an E8600@ 4.5Ghz+ would be very nice

I'm needing about 0.06v more for 200mhz less.
