Temps Looking Good?

Can i point out something without getting taken to Big Waynes "pump city"? They don't call him Big Wayne for nothing!! :eek:

Anyway, A screenie of your temps as soon as you start prime is not a true indication of where they are really at. You need to wait until the temps stabilise.

Right i'm off before i get "pumped". :D
 
  • vCore Set in BIOS = 1.12500v
  • vCore read in BIOS healthmenu = 1.10800v
  • vCore CPU-z Idle Windows = 1.0880v
  • vCore CPU-z Load Windows =1.056v

so 0.032 vDroop. . .

Run prime small FFTs on that to make sures it stable, also once it's passed windows stability tests (an hour or two should do) power down your PC and then either switch off the PSU if it has one or unplug the PSU from the mains and leave it for a few mins. Then plug it back in (or flick the 0/1 rocket switch) and try to boot up. Sometimes when the vCore is really really close to its minimum the PC wont boot up properly (almost like a failed overclock) so by switching it off in the way described above you can be extra sure that voltage/MHz setting is stable.

Once that it done you need to start raising your FSB. If you patient do it bit by bit, don't change the vCore yet and keep raising the FSB by say 5MHz at a time, after some time you should run into the same scenario you had where the PC won't boot. Once you get to that point its obviously time to start boosting the vCore, one micro nudge at a time.

I'm not sure what mobo you are using but I hope its easy to recover from a failed clock? The last three ASUS boards I've used are superb in this respect, haven't had to reset CMOS or remove the boards battery for years!

And that's you done for the moment, make sure you take notes and keep an eye on all the vCOre variations (BIOS/BIOS Read/Win Idle/WinLoad) also observe what is happening to your temps.

There are certain rules of physics that I don't fully understand but you always seem to get the best out of a CPU if you can keep it cooler, once you start creeping up past 60°C/65°C full load it all starts to go to pot (jah man!).

Keep up the good work and you have a good few hours of stuff to do now. The only other thing that can happen once you start raising your FSB is the Northbridge chip can start struggling and may need a little voltage boost so bear that in mind, keep climbing and try as hard as poss not to raise the vCore!

Happy Battery pulling see ya in a few hours! :D

[edit] yeah pastymuncher's right leave the chip fully loaded for 30 mins or so to get an idea of loads temps, I didn't fully look at your screenie!

[second edit] Well I did look at the screenies but that new version of prime is a pain not showing you the run time straight off!
