Q6600 volts help

MrKray · 17 Oct 2007 at 21:13

hi guys, i have a Q6600, P5K 2gig of Corsair DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX.

i have overclocked to 3gig multiplier x9 bus speed 334 rated fsb 1335.9.
i have set the volts in the bios to 1.38 BUT when i run prime 95 (quad core verson) and the cpu's are at 100% the volts drop down to 1.28 and then 1 of the 4 cpu's fail the test.
Can any one help
Many Thanks Craig

Welcome to the land of ASUS vcore.

Just up the voltage in BIOS to 1.4v and try again.

just looked back in the biso and the V-Core was on 1.4 all ready so i pumped it up to 1.5v i hope this will not trash my chip

and prime testing now.

I would up the vcore in small steps tbh. Maybe 0.25v at the very most.

ok just ran prime 95 for 8 mins and 1 of the 4 cpus failed??? my ramm is at 4.4.4.12, 2.1v

Cob · 17 Oct 2007 at 21:47

Which vcore did it fail at? 1.5v?

MrKray · 17 Oct 2007 at 21:48

yes 1.5 in the bios and 1.4160 no load in windows vista 32bit

It shouldn't really fail 3ghz at 1.41v.

Up it another notch or two.

thx for the help

my temp is on 56 full load on air (water block on its way) is that ok?

Cob · 17 Oct 2007 at 22:09

Which software are you getting the temps from?

And good luck

MrKray · 17 Oct 2007 at 22:16

ai asus

just got rightmark cpu clock and that says 80c????

Cob · 17 Oct 2007 at 22:19

Use CoreTemp. And they'll probably be quite high too.

Is that under water?

1.77c
2.80c
3.79c

is that to high???

prime tested for 30mins now all look ok

im on air at the mo, my new 775 block will be here this week

Cob · 17 Oct 2007 at 22:27

Stock cooler?

I wouldn't go any higher than that. I'd wait for your waterblock before pushing on.

MrKray · 17 Oct 2007 at 22:28

Stock cooler yes the one that came with the cpu :-)

MrKray · 17 Oct 2007 at 22:31

i just cant bleave that the asus bios and software lies, that is not good at all

i was thinking my cpu temps was low when there not.

Cob · 17 Oct 2007 at 22:34

It's not lying. It reads the temps from a different sensor. CoreTemp reads the temps from within the actual die.
