Added.

Just as a note guys, I work out the average temp by what Core temp/Everest shows. Its not the avg over the period of priming but the average temp across the 4 cores. I also record what vcore you have under load not what you set in the bios as each motherboard droops to different levels and I know folk have to compensate for this so to get a more accurate picture ofthe vcore required the load vcore is the one which will be entered into the database.

Updated (press F5 to refresh if you dont see updated table).
 
Started priming at 3.7ghz, didn't think the 6400 corsair ram was going to like 400mhz+ so swapped it with some G.SKill HZ ram from another machine should have really done this before overclocking. At present still running on 1.425v should be interesting to see if its prime stable or not.
 
Hi,

Am currently sat at 3ghz (375x8) on a p5k standard with volts on 'auto'. I'm getting massive amounts of vdroop with manual settings, 1.325v idle is dropping as low as 1.240 under prime95, is this normal?

Which figure is to be trusted, the setting in the bios or the one CPUZ reports? Is there any harm to running at 1.4+ if it droops to 1.3 anyway, will the high idle voltage damage the CPU over time?

Temps are ok, low/mid 50's under load with a thermalright extreme.

Cheers
 
W3bbo, How come you decided to use small ffts instead of blend for this thread?
Not criticizing you I would just like to know the reason.Obviously small ffts stress the CPU far more than a blend test but isn't it a little overkill?

You sorta answered your own question there m8.

As regards to being overkill then no not really. If you are stressing your cpu then you may as well stress it to its possible maximum as then you will know it can cope with anything you throw at it at that given clockspeed. I do however maintain Blend is a far better test of SYSTEM stability as it tests a lot more than just the cpu (cache/mem controller/ memory) but as this is specifically a CPU stability thread, I thought it would be best to use small fft's as there would be little variance in temps as blend temps can rise/drop depending on what test is being performed at the time the reading is taken.

3708Mhz
1.6v in bios 1.54v in windows

Zalman Reserator XT Black Hybrid Water Cooling System

You need 1.6v to get 3708 Mhz stable? I'm currently priming (4hrs stable so far) mine at 1.475v at 3708Mhz with the same stepping as you.

Edit.. grr my pc just shut down, still waiting for my new psu to arrive will try again soon.

If you enable vdamper in the BIOS it will cut your vdroop to very little. Mine is set at 1.425v and under load its sitting at 1.4v

it sat at 1.6V in bio's but in core temp and orther programs that gives me 1.52-1.54Volts under load, I just put it at that to see where it would take me to on this Board , i having a oter go when back home in the morning can feel 3800 around the corner:eek:

But you are using water, he is on air ;) and on a g33 mobo if i am not mistaken... (damn you for selling it to someone that isn't me :()

EDIT: i think i need to get a new board, as i have the same stepping as No.1 and 3... (damn the last 2 3.6ghz using lower vcore.. n1 TiZoR...)
