I say maximum voltage for Vcc/Vcore is 1.50v for 24/7, 1.55-1.60v for extreme benchmarking, please stay below to 1.6, and don’t use any type of Load Line Calibration past 1.55v

Interesting. just reading the rest now :p
 
Heh, I would personally ignore his statement on what is a safe Vcore as he goes onto to say how his chip started to degrade with 1.5V after only a couple of weeks. Also I'm not sure if he's using the VID values in the Intel Datasheets as a basis for his safe Vcore values - if he is then this is not correct.

Edit: In fact I'm almost certain he's using the max VID value of 1.52V as his basis for safe Vcore - This is not the safe max! VID =/ Vcore.
 
attempted to change my tdp but it made no diff.

doesnt help of course that the Asus monitoring which tells you how much wattage the CPU is using stops counting at 99.99w lol.
 
from that article

any people have been reporting that at 4.5ghz they seem to be hitting limits with voltage changing, HERE is what to do.

Use Turbo Mode, your mutlipier will still not drop if you are on GB board, set each mutliplier to what you want, THEN set TDP to 300 and TDC to 300, that is really what helps the extension of TDP and TDC. I edited my guide a litte, i added this tidbit.

any idea where this is on the Asus boards?
