what is the max voltage???

does upping the nb freq to 2200MHz (x11) require a voltage increase?

cheers

on full load at 3.7GHz temps are 32 degrees
that is just with the multi at 18.5 and the voltage at 1.425
its stable at 3.9 (200 x 19.5) at 1.525v but is slower peak temp of 37 degrees so i upped the nb to 2200mhz- unstable,
upped nb voltage by 0.01v or 0.1?- unstable
dropped cpu clock bk to 3.1GHz and tries again on the nb, no joy...

0.1 or 0.01... the smallest increment the mobo allows.

just checked in the BIOS. 0.01v. when i upped the nb to 2200mhz and it crashed i upped the nb voltage to 1.120v. i wasnt sure if it was particularly wise to up the volatge and if so, by how much.

ye ok we'll have a go...
if i dont post bk its because my computer's bust and its all UR fault

it wasnt a success although i didint try incrementally increasing v core etc as its gonna take ages...

NoNameNoNumber · 4 Feb 2010 at 22:28

hm i dunno... i may try tweaking yet, did u notice any speed increase when you got the extra core?

ye ive done the auto thing and hybrid on the ec firmware etc and bumped up the nb voltage and v core as mentioned in that link and still no joy. i need to master how to manually select which core to unlock as i may have 1 stable...
