HI
I have a
E0 Q9550 overclocked to 3.8Ghz and stable, I have the RAM at 900Mhz (1:1) as I m a noob for memory overclocking, I m wanting to overclock the memoery to get the most out of the system, but I have no idea how to keep the stablity, I m upgrading my OS to 64bit vista soon than try the RC but thats another story
my mobo is a asus tek rampage formular X48 with the 0701 BIOS, there is a switch on my mobo near the PCIe slots what does it do as a side note.
however I feel my voltage are on the high side, but the system itself seems happy when it comes to voltage/temps as nothing is that hot in my HAF case
but I want to lower them
CPU 1.25volts
CPLL @1.6 (mobo keeps overvolting and runiing over that through
)
FSB term 1.4volts
SB1.5-1.55volts
SB 1.1 is 1.125
NB is 1.35volts
Dram is 2.2volts nothing fancy
GTL ref voltage multiplers set on North bridge and cpu these are 0.68x
can I inprove these ? i have enabled the Vdrop feature so voltage is a bit more constant.
I see no point in doing like 24 hours stress tests as if its going to fail it would in the first 5 minutes particauly prime however I did run it for over a hour. max temps is 70c fore core #0 than it cooled right off again other wise it sits no higher than 65-66c while priming
regards
