either vcore too high causing too much heat, or not enuf vcore... also try set ur ram's vdimm to 2.1v instead of 1.9

is there any software dat can monitor my current vnb, vdimm, vtt, pll and so on?? i wanna noe wat my auto settings actually give me

im using p5q3 rite now

everest dun show, lemme try hwmonitor

well, looks like my mobo is not compatible with hwmonitor... but thanks to that, i decided to manually set my pll, vtt and nb voltage... and now my temp is less than 65c load, as compared to last time 71c load ...

placed pll value to 1.6 if not mistaken, vtt 1.2 and nb 1.2 or 1.3v cant remember,

which 1 is the one causing high temp for proc ya? izzit vtt?

my vcore before tweaking pll, vnb and vtt = 1.175
load temp 71c

after tweak pll,vnb,vtt, i reduce the vcore by 1 step, to 1.168

a drop in 0.01v make 5c difference???!!!

i guess i better mention my specs and so on

q9650 with ifx-14

my ambient temp is around 25~27c, case (system temp) rite now is 47c =.="

i tried 3.6ghz with 1.16v, so far stable...

now trying to go 4ghz stable with as low voltage settings as possible hahaha

wohh.... at 1.45v, ur temp reli high

my q6600 with z600 stress oso get 78/78/73/73

but ur 3.8ghz at 1.55, i couldn't pass the stress test

vista dun eat all memory... instead they cache it... i would say thanks to this caching, opening applications seems faster to me in vista than xp

btw, u dun reli have to clock ur hyperx to 800mhz if u wan 1:1, and honestly i dun reli care bout 1:1, its not like the ram will always perform at maximum speed

a 1066mhz ram with 1600fsb is faster than 1600fsb with 800mhz ram, keep that in mind ... dun worry bout those bottlenecking shits

added: it seems might be getting bsod due to insufficient vdimm.. i thought hyperx 1066 is 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1v?

try pumping to 2.1v or 2.2v

go to system properties, go to advance system settings, go to startup and recovery settings, untick the "automatically restart" checkbox

the next time u got urself a bsod, jot down the code and error message

otherwise it'll be hard to find the cause of ur bsod just by telling me ur settings...

first, try to open lots of application that uses alot of ram, if u get a bsod cos of this, it could be ram problem

aiya uzairi... seems like i dont have to treat u makan since roll back ... later create my own template

of cos e8600 is better among the other 2... but y u wan change from q6600 to e8x00??? its such a waste if u plan jz to overclock... 3.6ghz on q6600 is good enuf liao... i'd rather go for 3.6ghz q6600 than a 4ghz e8600...

my previous q6600, 3.6ghz on 1.425v

as for power consumption... imagine ure playing game, stressing 2 cores for core2duo... and stressing 2 core for core2quad..., which 1 saves more power?

i run my quaddie 24/7 at 1.4v for q6600, and now my q9650 at 1.17v, tnb bill comes....

GOT DIFFERENCE!!
by rm10 only, and it's because?
im starting to play games back =.="

wat la u all, got money buy pc oc this oc t hat, no money pay electric meh? =.=

3.6ghz, 1.152v idle, 1.168v load, whats yours

WTH!!!! oc la sikit.. dun tell me u seriously leave oc life ka @@

wohh wohh... i have no comments already

but for me, 3.6ghz is enough liao , unlike previous q6600 i had to put 1.425v jz to get 3.6ghz @@

get:

Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme, or Gigabyte EP45-UD3P

no.1, and no.2

decided to post one of my ss during stress test

@uzairi, where's ur template? cannot find la hahaha
