Voltages

[Jay Bee]

Have posted this before with no replys so hope that it gets some response this time.
You hear so much about northbridge,ram etc. voltages on auto settings in the bios, but as the settings are on auto how do you know what is actually being used when the machine is running?
The reason for asking is I am stable as sig but will not go higher as it thows a wobbler if I try, it would seem that a bit on the northbridge may help but where to start?
Also have tried the ram at 2.1v but bsod if set up that way so if I knew the voltages being used may get a bit further with the clock.
Cheers

Trouble with your method cje is the system is not up and loaded so the auto could be diff than when loaded.
JonJ678 on the delux board they supply a noethbridge fan to fit when watercooling, which I fitted and strapped the temp. senser on the northbridge itself so I can see the temp. of it running, never seen it over 40C even during encoding video, so as far as I can see high volt =high temps which if right the northbridge can't be getting to much, what do you think?
Have run Prime on it and creeps up to 59 60c after several hours so if high volts = high temps I would think i'm not to bad.

JonJ678 You asked if I found out about the northbridge voltage I think it is 1.1volts as reported in Everest, but the trouble is if you set it in the bios it bsod on boot, even if increase a bit to 1.2 volts still bad so there must be something else that needs a tweak, have read in various places 1.3 to 1.4v needed have tried but no go. put it on auto and away we go so I have tried but it won't have it.
As the temp is 40c or under on nothbridge I think it will have to stay as is.
Have wound it up to 4.20 (8x525) gets into windows seems to work ok till you run prime on it and that is what they call a ------ up, so back to as sig that is stable so that is where it is going to stay I think, 36% clock can't complain at that.
