hi all.im trying to reach 4.0ghz but dont know if it would be wise to set the vcore past 1.575v

in the pic im at 3961 and the volts are 1.536

when i tryed 4.0 i uped the volts to 1.575 and i wouldnt dare go past that.should i?

i do have a spare 940be(sort of)

AMD say there max voltage on air is 1.5v not sure on water,you could try lowering the bus to get almost exactley 3.9Ghz then up the multi,whats ur temps/cooling.

 

[chickenricesoup]

temps are 27c-33c

when you say 1.5v does it matter if its 1.545 1.555 1.575 1.585 1.595? just as long as it doesnt hit 1.600?

 

[chickenricesoup]

managed to hit 4.0

but for how long idk

temps are 33c-35c

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

It's the 100% load temps we are on about. Not the idle temps.

What program are you using to stress the system?

 

[Toxcity]

Are those idle temps?

 

[Deshman]

Tell ya what you gave me a shock when I read your first post- asking if going past 5.75v on the core was sensible

Are those idle temps?

Given he's cooling with air I assume so, otherwise we could have a cooling genius on our hands

 

[Toxcity]

Give it a stress test then, bud. Come back with the load temps. They are more important.

 

[Deshman]

Use this to stress your CPU:

There's a 64-bit version halfway down the page if you're running a 64-bit OS.

5.75v

Man I know I've had a few but jesus

Oh and Linpack > Prime95

as in 1.5v exactley,ide only push to 1.525 if it was worth it but its warrenty voiding areas mate

Overclocking itself voids the warrenty. I wouldn't worry because how in the world would they be able to prove if it was overclocked or not?

 

[AMDFTW]

ahh fair one,well ime shure the main manufacturing tech team could see if it had been OC'd or not,but itherway best not go over 1.5v on air

 

[chickenricesoup]

no point in trying p95.even at 1.584 volts i get bsod.so im better off waiting till i get more hoses then try my luck on liquid cooling

 

[chickenricesoup]

well i couldnt wait for the hoses so i went ahead and up the volts in bios to 1.6(actual 1.584)

im in the 4.0ghz range but sooner have liquid cooling to keep it here

 

[AMDFTW]

if its 1.6v in the bios then its actual is 1.6v unless ur counting Vdroop

 

[chickenricesoup]

if it was actual 1.6 then im sure the chip would have fryed by now.lol

it says 1.6 in bios but in cpuz its only 1.584

 

[AMDFTW]

trust me if you set it to 1.6v in the BIOS thats the true reading,altho a good thing to check in the BIOS is hardware monitor that will give you a good reading and be accurate or even use coretemp.

 

[chickenricesoup]

will do next time im in bios

hey i started out with a M3N-HT Deluxe mobo.to bad i had to break off the NB trying to install a waterblock

miss that board

 

[AMDFTW]

cool.

yer man its a good motherboard dont think ime hitting the limit of the board OC wise (not tried RAM yet) but for a full tri-sli board its awsome paid £120 for ir about 6months ago,waiting for AMD to bring out new nforce boards before i upgrade
