The Intel Quadcore Database

Hiya everyone,

I just have a couple of queries that I'm hoping someone could clear up for me. The Vcore value that is listed on the front page in the table, is that the actual Vcore the person sets for the processor or is it the Vcore reading that is listed in the BIOS's Hardware Monitor section?

Also, when people say "Real Vcore", are they referring to what they have specifically set for the processor, what the BIOS's Hardware Monitor section is listing or what Cpu-Z is displaying? Now, when people say "BIOS's Vcore", once again, what are they actually refering too?

If someone could clear the above queries up for me, then that would be fantastic.

Thank you. :)

Well W3bbo tells you what it is in his first post (the one above the table). :)

"Real vcore"? Don't know. You have the Vcore that is set in BIOS, the Vcore that CPU-z will show at idle, and the Vcore under load (usually 100%); the latter two values being subject to whatever Vdroop the mobo will introduce.
 
the vcore that is listed on the table is underload... people also talk about idle vcore (i.e idle in windows) and BIOS vcore which would be the value that you set in the BIOS..
 
for those that are interested! meant to post this saturday carried away with the new build :) found my processor box whilst cleaning out the loft at the parents... batch number is: L737B192 (you can add that to the database please w3bbo)

nice clock there... you would have some room for more.. maybe up to 3.6ghz if you lapped that CPU and got 56 across the cores :)

Cheers pneumonic,:) i been meaning to get the cpu and TRUE lapped but my problem is getting the time to do it. 3.6 is what im hoping to achieve eventually. my load temps have dropped a bit as well since that prime run. pic taken from a test run a few days after

was a nice cold evening then:D
 
those are nice... one thing I would suggest is lay your case so the weight of the heatsink pushes down onto the CPU and motherboard and see what that does to your temps... might find it evens them a bit in which case you need a tighter mounting on your TRUE

I enter the temps from the CoreTemp screenshot. core0+core1+core2+core3 / 4 = average temp.

Do you still update the database at all w3bbo, as the 3.4ghz entry i posted previously has been superceded by a run i done @3.6ghz a few weeks ago.:) Tried earlier for 3.8, (9x422) but bsod'd 2 minutes into prime, vcore of 1.50625, temps were getting to high for my liking as well. 80-80-71-71:(

Yeah I still update it but not as often as I did as there just aint as many entries as before. Must have missed ** entry so will update when I get back on main pc ;).
