Intel Burn failure

OK, well the CPU voltage is still at 1.264v instead of 1.3v so i am assuming that the RAM voltage hasn't changed either :confused: i must be missing something in the BIOS.

What software can i use to check my RAM voltage and timings?
 
Are you sure the cpu voltage difference is due to vdroop or voltdrop?
if I set mine in bois to 1.43v cpu z say it's 1.4v Then when I start ibt it drops to 1.38 volts thats what it sound like happening.
 
Well, when i first installed the CPU into this motherboard, CPUZ read the voltage as 1.264v. I upped the voltage to 1.3v and it still says 1.264v. it doesn't really drop below this or go above this. When i run IBT it just stays at 1.264v, it has never reached the 1.3v i set it to.
:confused:
 
OK, i went on Kingston's website to find the best voltage for my RAM. It says 1.95v. So that's what i've set in the BIOS. However, the timings in everest say 5-5-5-18. Kingston's site say that at 1.95v it should be 4-4-4-12 :confused:
 
try it running at the stated speeds and volts, no harm will come from this, dont think theres anything you can get that tells you in OS what your memory voltage is set to, so as long as it says 1.95v in the bios you should be good, also check for a setting that says load line calibration or v droop and try this diasabled, spread spectrum set this to disabled, disable eist, disable c1e, disable any power saving features your board has, also try 4gb of ram to see if it will pass burn test, this should then get you a clearer picture of whats going on,i would say though start with disableing spread spectrum and test from there, after that then move onto changing one of the above settings remember to test after each change
 
Had a look in the BIOS and it says the MCP is at 80oC :eek:

better run and get the NB fan and install it and buy a replacement to move more air:

what is this one like, does anyone know?
Scythe Mini Kaze 50mm

Its weird though, as it is maybe 2cm away from my graphics card, yet that is only at around 56c idle, instead of 60c on my old motherboard. But may explain why my CPU temps are higher.
 
Right, stuck the stock fan on for now, attached to my fan controller running at 50%. Used some power tack on to help secure it to hopefully help the buzzing (it doesn't). Ordered the Scythe Mini Kaze 50mm off of OcUK just to ensure it isn't that causing the crashing (which i'm sure if that temperature is correct, it is).

Looking a bit messy with the fan controller cables stretching across but will reroute that on Tuesday when the fan is expected to arrive.

So i will keep the overclocking/volting on hold until i get that fan fitted, then will post my results.

Cheers for the help so far, and hopefully, come Tuesday i can get to a bit of overclocking :D
 
The chipset is probably fine up to 100*c... but wait the MCP isn't the northbridge, its the southbridge or is it?
I don't have any knowledge of southbridge overheating, it could be a problem with the heatsink mounting rather than the fan but most importantly:
"Evga says that the MCP is designed to run at around 95c so you're good to go." So it isn't the MCP thats crashing.

Ah well fair enough then.

Well, the fan will hopefully help temps anyway.

Turned off the Spread spectrums and will test it in a bit.

Have manually set the RAM voltage to 1.95v recommended, which should make it run at 4-4-4-12. However, having the timings set to auto in the BIOS means that it runs at 5-5-5-18. So i manually set it to 4-4-4-12 and now it should right in CPUZ.

However, there doesn't seem to be a recommended Back Cycle Time (tRC) or Commend Rate (CR). It is currently set at 23 clocks and 2T respectively. Should i change these or?


After turning off all of the Spread spectrums, CPUZ still reads 1.264v when it is set as 1.3v in the BIOS. Move onto change the next settings, or IBT first?

OK, Kingstons site says 4-4-4-12 at 1.95v, but when you get the datasheet for it, it says 5-5-5-18 at 1.9v and 4-4-4-12 at 2v. So manually setting it as 4-4-4-12 at 1.95v like it says on the main page, how much more likely am i to receive data errors/ corruption etc?
What i will do is go back into the BIOS, change the voltage to 2.0v and set the timings to auto again and see what everest and CPUZ say.

Here's a SS of CPUZ and everest reporting my timings, plus a crop of the part of Kingston's site saying 4-4-4-12 at 1.95v
