using 1.6v in bios to even be able to boot into windows @ 3.6 :/

havent run prime yet,to scared :/
 
MiNxYyY are you a real person or someone pretending to be an uber-nOOber?

It is a crime to mention idle temps alone on these forums, don't do it again or else its gonna be pump city! :D

Load Temps, Load Temps, Load Temps!

or

Idle/Load

:o
 
I would but I live in London and its a long way to travel to put you out your misery! :p

Who ever taught you to overclock comes from the school of *Brute Force and Ignorance* :eek:

Put your processor frequency down to stock 2400MHz and then take the vCore down as far as it will go before your PC wont boot. Once you get an idea of how little volts its needs to run at stock slowly but surely push upwards, try as hard as possible not to raise the processor voltage as you increase the FSB. Take notes as you go or create a spreadsheet to chronicle your journey.

Observe your idlel/load temps as you climb, once you hit 65°C full load knock it on the head (assuming you have at least premium Aircooling).
 
when i leave the volts @ stock and cpu @ stock my idle temps are 30.29.29.30
when i undervolt my temps rise to 35.34.36.34 idle :/
 
Ok, what do u mean "@stock" ?

Does that mean auto or did you manually set the voltages in BIOS?

Only you MiNxYyY could make a processor increase in temp by undervolting lol! :D

Set the main board voltages to minimum (vNB, vDimm etc), relax your memory timings and make sure the memory is not running on a divider, manually set the vCore to hmmmm 1.200v and make sure the frequency is manually set to 9x266, load up windows and take some idle/load readings and come back pls. If your PC wont boot at 1.200vCore bump it up until it boots. If it boots easy at 1.200vCore then lower it further until it wont boot. Once you get a boot using mentally low vCore get into windows and run Prime, if it fails bump up vCore a notch.
 
It depends what memory you are using MiNxYyY.

Now as you haven't listed any useful specs I will have to use my Force-Powers and read your mind, bear with me it takes some time. . . .
 
See that tab in CPU-z called *Memory* and *SPD* that would have been a good set of screenshots to include, but as you've stated its cas 4 I'm guessing its 4-4-4-12 memory that runs at 400MHz (DDR800). If you manually set the memory to 5-5-5-15 is will be very relaxed and shouldn't cause you any problems when you raise the FSB especially if you have raised the voltage from default 1.8vDimm.

What voltage have you set in BIOS for that screenshot pls, and what is the vDroop like at stock (idle/load).

Can you lower that vCore anymore?
 
the Vcore i set in bios for that ss is 1.2V,@ idle its 1.68 and load its 1.13
i will try and go lower later on when im at home .
 
Hey MiNxYyY,

I will be back to help more just swamped with work for a couple of hours...

get that vCore as low as you can at stock MHz and must be 100% stable, more later..
 
Could only get a far as 1.125V in bios otherwise i had to take the battery out to reset because the mobo would just die :(
Using 1.125 atm @ 2.4,Idle/load temps are 28.28.29.30 / 40.38.38.37

Click to expand...

Hey MiNxYyY that's better now we are getting somewhere! so you are saying that atm your load temps are lower than your idle temps when you first started? :D

Ok now what are the different Quad 2400MHz vCores i.e:

  • vCore Set in BIOS =
  • vCore read in BIOS healthmenu =
  • vCore CPU-z Idle Windows =
  • vCore CPU-z Load Windows =
More screenies pls! :)

Once you report back your vCore variations its time to overclock slowly! :cool:
