post your settings

Well I tried:-

430 x 8 (3440) with a 1:1.20 multiplier and I just can't seem to find a stable spot

To reduce the stress on the memory I tried 1:1 (DDR2-860) and still no joy, Vcore was at 1.395 (BIOS) shows at 1.30 in CPU-Z.

I've just tried

380 x 8 (3040) with a 4:5 devider (1050) and I still fail Prime 95 after about 5 mins

at this rate I'll be running @ stock

what mobo again?

Abit IP35 Pro, memory is 5-5-5-15 @ 2.3 V 2GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500C5

Up the vcore.

How much, what is safe for a G0?

Im at 1.5v (1.45 Actual) with temps at 59c full load.

This is fine and leads me to believe that 3.8 ghz is up for grabs.

It all depends on your cooling and the temps at full load.

Put it at 1.5v in the bios, the board droops and drops its way down a lot lower at load. Around 1.40 to 1.42v if you measure the actual voltage.

1.41vcore real, need to sort my waterblock out, temps alittle high.

 

[HEADRAT]

Right it's got 1.5v in the BIOS, just rebooting.

Cooling is Tuniq Tower 120

 

[easyrider]

Just to add this Abit is one of the best C2D mobos I have tested so far.

Easy to setup and seems stable as a rock.

try to keep temps below 65c

 

[HEADRAT]

I think I may have to reseat the cooler:-

CPU0 = 66
CPU1 = 59
CPU2 = 65
CPU3 = 59

but so far so good, extra voltage seems to be doing the trick

1.41, I might change waterblocks tomorrow

Yours looks nice easy

Thanks

Yours does to mate

These are really nice chips and make the 6850 even more of a waste of money imo

Have to say, these chips run far cooler than the B3s! Glad I made the impulse buy today! Cores 0 and 1 seem run about 6-7C warmer however than 2 and 3. Heatsink is on tight, Ill have a look inside tommorrow.

 

[HEADRAT]

Something deffo wrong with the fitment of the cooler, there is 10 degree difference in the cores, currently running all my fans on full to keep temps down.

Didn't go mad, tried 430 x 8 (3440), to be honest that would be fine, memory is currently at DDR 960 which is a little poo when it's rated for 1066.

 

[easyrider]

why are you running the the 8x multi?
