Guess the board needs the Vdroop mod to stabilize the voltage

It was hot during the P4 days especially with ASUS and Abit boards which flunctuates hell a lot in Windows under load

what i noticed is:

on idle > vcore in cpu-z almost always = vcore in bios - 0.02v notch
on load > vcore in cpu-z almost always =vcore in bios - 0.05xv *

no doubt d vdroop is abit too much, but u'll noticed that during load, vcore stay stably unless when prime is on small fft tests (<512k), u'll get 0.016 vdroop more while on large fft tests (> 512k), d voltage stay d same as *

no overvolt for my case, but ofcoz it applicable on x4 & below only...

i using several mobo.. but this round is the worst.. can't get the specific voltage even got small increment unit..

bro cv mentioned that it could be d load line calibration thingy, have u guys tried that out?

nie mobo 88td evo eh?

I haven't really tested my mobo yet bro, hopefully it wouldn't have the same prob but soo far the sign isn't helping much

bro cloudwan, can share abit detail how u OC ur proc(965) to 4Ghz?

not manage to try it out.. actually got several more option leave in auto..
coz we went shopping in the day.. put all things all together..
and i manage to play untill 3AM.. lol.. sleepy..
can't push much coz not mine..

but some i noticed to reduce vcore..
need to play with cpu-nb and ram voltage..
that's why i manage to get less vcore..

actually my intention was to look on ht-link and also to try out the gskill value ram..
which can get 1700mhz.. 1.65v cl9.. i think can tune abit..
but configuring the vcore issue consume times..

yup 88td evo..

That o/c isn't prime stable la bro.. Only pass a superpi & 3dmarks tests Beside my cpu is 955 not 965 lah

Incase u still wanna know, here's the SS:

and also the initial bios got prob with keyboard.. will hang if playing around in the bios.. flash with new bios will solve the issue..

yup, vdimm plays an important role to stabilize oc'ed system, didn't noticed that until i tried d x3 450... once u give enuf vdimm, there's nothing holdin u back unless u hit d wall of d chip...

why not try 1600 @ cas 8 or lower instead of 1700 cas 9 bro? lax timing is always a nono... run memtest then u'll get what i mean... cas 6 is just fantastic... especially 6-6-6 or 6-7-6...

don bother bro... 1055 is on d way soon...

usb k/b? plug into usb3 ports mebe? my case it's not hang but not detected, but if switch to usb2 ports, it's fine. initial bios clock d best for non thuban chips from iwhat i tested.

maybe i'm too focus on the vcore.. so no time to isolate them..
but since using divider is a little bit tricky then shoot all in one go..

i fixed the timing to play other things first.. well 2 days sleep late.. and wake up early morning.. dizzy² everywhere.. haha..

try to plug back the usb keyboard still cannot.. but flash the bios solve the issue..

Where got road man.. No money lor.. U want me to die by my pc ka?

sell the stuff.. sell the soundcard sell the proc.. get x6 yeah.. nice²

spare d sound card, sell d mouse instead.

high end mobo must pair w/ high end chip mah, rite bro???

Please no more racun from u.. Mana mau makan like this, last last i'll eat my soundcard nanti..

yup 120%.. and CF too..

Not u too Everyone is an poison assassin nowadays

yup, x6 + 8x0 board + 5770 cf/tri-f/quadfire...

fwahhh... it's a mouth-watering rig...

ermmm.... it's in my blood... poison ivy i am bro...

i wanna see this soon...

the evil still got the XFi ar bro.. still can sell external soundcard and extra money can be used to fulfilled the ambition!

must let go them fast²..
