Got my E6600 @ 3.3 ghz using 370x9 with 1.5 vcore and i have put more juice to the NB just one step tho. The memery is running at 370mhz 1:1 @1.9v. I dont what to go any higher on the vcore temps under orthos are 51c and idle 28. Should i try upping the NB volts bit more?

Vcore looks very high for 3.3ghz, even if it'll be a lot less than 1.5v in Windows.

Shouldn't the memory be set to 2.1v?

ill try that, maybe it just bad cpu...

Put your RAM to the manufacturer's specified voltage (i expect 2.1V as Cob said)

What's your vcore in windows?

billybob89 · 16 Jun 2008 at 17:43

ermm reading off cpu-z its reading 1.480v. thought my ram was meant to be at 1.8v?

Which version of the XMS2 is it?

billybob89 · 16 Jun 2008 at 19:17

this one
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...ame=Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX (2x1GB)

but 4x 512mb
your are right it can run up 2.2v

It's the CAS5 version, so it well be fine at 1.9v.

Have you upped your northbridge/MCH volts by 0.1v to boost it for running 4 sticks?

billybob89 · 16 Jun 2008 at 19:30

i have upped it one settting but i cnt remember exact, maybe i should rasie bit more?

Cob · 16 Jun 2008 at 19:33

I would check and see. Four sicks can be tough on the northbridge.
