hmm, how do you check the chipset thingy?
Under cpu-z can check?

i dun remembuh ... maybe cpu z or gpu z ( for gc only )

Yes,CPU-Z Motherboard tab can check your motherboard's chipset model

Hi,newbie in here in overclocking,
I use q6600 and mobo p35ds3l.
Quick question,is it normal the vcore is drop during stressing?
Because using cpuz,the idle voltage is 1.23v eventhough in bios I manually set 1.275v.Then,during stress the voltage reading is 1.20v.
Is there tools that accurately read the vcore?

maybe something related to load line calibration.

Sorry,what do you mean?

hava a look:
http://www.masterslair.com/vdroop-and-load...oop-really-bad/

It's normal
It's part of Intel specification
We call it vdrop and vdroop
Let me put your example:
Set=1.275V
Idle V=1.23V(Vdrop)
Load V=1.20V(Vdroop)
Get it?

Got it.but when I push the proc to 3 GHz then run prime 95,after several minutes, the core number 1 is failed the test.
it prompt message like this,"FATAL ERROR: Rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure detected, consult stress.txt file.",
Any comment?During this,the vcore I set to 1.2815v if not mistaken.

Try to add vcore and see if it help??

I oc my e2200 from 2.2ghz to 2.8ghz
with stock cooler
current idle at 40c , max load for 5mins at 83c , tj. max is 85c
i didn't touch the voltage at all,
can i increase my oc more n more? 3.2ghz without touching the voltage??

try change your thermalpaste, try mx4. or even better if you can change your CPU cooler
get Cooler Master Hyper TX3 or 212evo

temp is no 1 enemy in OC

I wrongly set something at RAM clock (because oc fsb = oc ram, i doesnt wan to oc ram for lower the risk) then bios won't boot, then i remove cmos battery,
then i boot n oc back 2.8ghz agn and set the smart fan, but my temp from idle 40c become 46~49c
i not really touched cpu hsf while removing cmos battery but i thought my gc heat sink blocked me for removing cmos battery so i remove the gc then only remove cmos battery
got what possible reason that i made the temp become so high??

Just change mobo,still run prime 95 at 3GHz,seems stable.
Vcore set to 1.2815v fsb 333MHz

Should be able to run lower vcore for 3ghz

vcore and clock have impact on the temperature.

you mean,at 3GHz,this proc can run at stock voltage?

most probably.

Hi,I set to stock voltage which is for my mobo it detect at 1.275v.
And run prime 95 for about 4 hours it is still stable.
But,after I shutdown the pc,and switch off the power at plug,
Then when I want to turn on the pc, it behave like this,
When I push power button,the pc is on for several seconds and then shut off by itself,
Then after several second it will turn on back again and boot as normal.
It is normal?
Sorry if out of topic.
Thanks

seem not normal, it is everytime also like this?
