vcore

I'm just having one last tinker with my o/c efforts and have vcore at around 1.37v for the current o/c (see sig). Is this a 'healthy' setting. I turned the voltage from auto to manual and set it that way. Never had the plums to try this before, every time I turn my PC on I pray and hope it manages to boot, lol.

So far no probs.

What CPU are you using? The Q6600 in your sig? If so, I'd say dont go over 1.5V, 1.45 to be safe

1.37 should be fine

Thank you Ducky

Ye, tis the one in sig, gonna try and ramp it up to 3.6. Must say, can really see a significant improvement from 3.0 to 3.3

Might it be worth running prime 95 or everest for a few hours? What d'ya think?

you should always run prime for at least 2hrs (pref 8-24) or IBT for a run, after each OC to ensure its successful and stable
re the voltage, its perfectly safe, what ducky said is right, but it does seem a little high for a relatively mild OC, you could prob reduce it and still be stable

Thanks for the advice. Will get on the case when I get home.
