My 1st Overclock

Davidian · 31 Oct 2007 at 21:46

Running @ 2Ghz (225 x 9), memory underclocked @ 225MHz (1:1 synced) 4-4-4-12 2T
VCore = 1.325v

Running Orthos blend test OK so far, 25 minutes - max temps 62C (CoreTemp v0.95)

With Orthos running in CPU-Z v1.41 I'm looking at Core Voltage on CPU tab this is fluctuating 1.280v - 1.296v, I guess this is what is known as vdroop? (if I understand the "beginners guide to OC thread")

Yip it is.

Ta.

I ran the blend test for 40 minutes, now running Small FFTs, gonna give it 30 minutes.

Then if no probs will run 3dMark03 next.

How long should I wait between tests?

I figured I should let things settle back down to idle temps, does it matter?

Nah it doesn't matter.

Another question.

Is the Vcore Offset Voltage option (+100v) in the bios to compensate for vdroop on my mobo?

If yes, does anybody know why?
