Hi people

Ive had my new kit for a while now consisting of abit ip35pro and a q6600 GO and its been sitting comfortably at 3.2 since i had it.
I have an urge though for a 24/7 setting of 3.4 and looking at the quadcore database i think this should be achievable.
I have a tuniq tower for cooling and im currently having no problems with temps.
I have tried 1.42 vcore but prime fails after a couple of minutes so im thinking maybe i need to nudge some of the other voltages up but i havent got a clue what they are?
Any advice much appreciated

vdroop tends to be quite large on your board so don't be afraid to push vcore a little. a couple of bumps on mch won't hurt.

I run 1.3725 vCore in bios, 1.30v in vista 64 under load with 370*9, two clicks up on the mch got me to 12+ hours prime stable.
 
Hi mate thanks for the reply
Can you tell me what the MCH is before i give it a bump?
Ive also noticed my VID rating is a lot higher than everyone elses on here at 1.325v is this just bad luck and will this affect my chips clocking potential?
 
its the memory controller hub. dunno if you're higher VID will have any bearing on clockability at all. best of luck mate.
 
Upping that MCH seems to have worked so far ill run this prime for a couple of hours and see

PWM temps seem high is this worth worrying about?

I hit 84c during 12 hours of prime 95, and others have hit worse. I've since added an Antec SpotCool fan right over it, and this keeps me below 80 during times of peak stress. Actually well below 80, coz nothing really stresses my system in rl like priming.

how much did you up the mch m8 as ive upped mine by +1 and was stable at 3.3 but might go for 3.4,but have to set it to 1.45 in bios for it to run at 1.39 then 1.36 in prime,thats the cpu volts m8 not the mch im on about
 
Ok prime failed at 1.435 vcore after 1 hour but temps never went over 60.c do you think i should push the juice more?
How come everyone else here seems to need far less to achieve so much more :(
 
when its running what is your actual vcore,because it will drop when priming,like i said mine is set to 1.45 in bios and when running prime its 1.36/38,so maybe take it upto 1.45 in bios
 
vdrop versus vdroop - vdrop (iirc) is the setting 1.435 in bios, getting 1.35 in windows. vdroop is when that 1.35 falls to 1.33 under stress.

now, I may have those back to front, but that's more or less it.

the intel limit says 1.35 vCore max, but there's a wealth of people here running more than that. mostly under water, but you're getting great temps.

push your vcore a level or two, no more mods to mch for the moment, keep an eye on your vcore though when it is under load. Everest's my own favourite, but its up to yourself. sounds like you've a bit of room, to be honest.

There are pencil, and more elaborate, mods available, to help with droopage - but they're not for me.
 
Right at 1.445 vcore under prime its drooping to 1.35/1.36 according to uguru i was fully prepared to let this run as my core temps were 61.c across all 4 but then uguru flashed me a warning saying my pwm temperature was too high at 80.c so i panicked and backed down to 3.2ghz again.
Was i right to panic or should i keep pushing till i get that stable 3.4ghz?

Just 1 notch on the uguru software i think from 1.25 to 1.29

reset your warning level in uguru - hit the settings button and tell it not to warn you until 90+ or so.

Go for the stable 3.4, you're temps will easily support it.

put a fan on the pwm for daily use - if you're really concerned.

in daily use, even gaming, or heavy processing you won't stress your system like prime or orthos does.
 
spoony77 i had to push 1.5 in bios for it to be stable on mine m8,and that was dropping to 1.39/40 on prime in everest so maybe up it a bit more m8

Cheers sunderland did you alter anything apart from vcore?
Is small fft's 8 hours stable vital? I see to enter the quad database it is but will i have any problems gaming etc if i cant get prime stable?
