My modest 3800+ F3 overclock. Vcore is 1.3V, CPU-Z reported it wrong

Old? Its just one version back from the latest one, I have updated CPU-Z a lot of time, and still it display the wrong voltage. And already I download the latest one, still wrong voltage

Yup spot on, even with BIOS update it still read the voltage wrong. But only on this mobo it reads voltage wrong, other board I tested fine

Guys some question, should I run 333x9 instead of 300x10? I'll get better memory speed if I done so (856MHz instead of 750MHz) but I don't think it will give any improvements. Anyone done this before?

I'll try to tighten the timing a little bit, I don't know if Hynix FP-Y5 module can handle 4-4-4-12 2T at 750MHz though

I know all the tricks actually, I tried 400x8 before, it can't boot, at most it reaches 380-ish I think. I don't think I wanted to maxed everything, my CPU can reach 3.2GHz at 1.4125V, I think it can go higher but I don't want it to roast everything in the process

My Hynix FP-Y5 maxed at 900MHz 5-5-5-15 2T @ 1.95V. Now I tried to tighten the timing, it can only reaches 5-5-4-12 2T @ 750MHz, SuperPI 1M only shaves mere .02 sec

My heavy overclocking days is over...my PC now only serve the purpose to play some games (CnC3 KW, Max Payne 1 and 2) while chatting on Skype

I never thought CnQ will work when overclocking. Anyone tried it to M2N-E before?

Done some testing today, actually this board booted perfectly at 400HT, I tried to run at 2000HTT but it won't boot , at most it run 1200HTT. No screenshot though, I just wanted to test, but at least it passes SuperPI 1M (400x7)

Its 1 sec less than 300x10 I'll try 400x8 next, but for now I got other things to do

Don't worry, I'm a trained professional

Shots of SuperPI 1M on 400x8, just for a test I don't want to do any speed record here

Just passing thru, I reach 3.3GHz at 1.45V. I think that is the most it can go. I'll try stress testing with games

You can somehow 'cheat' though, in 'Boot Setting Configuration', try to put 'Halt On' setting from 'All Errors' to 'No Errors'. I have some crap ASUS M2N-SLI which a bad overclocker, only reaching 2.4GHz on my 3800+ F3, by disabling that, I can reach 2.8GHz

Up to a point, but they do have some disadvantages. Sometime your PC start to acting weird, like USB device not functioning, but only happen at 2.8GHz, the stable clock for that mobo is 2.7GHz. You can try, it may or may not work, but if it do work, it can give a bit more

I don't know, never try to enable that back again

At least on my CPU, if you get a higher multiplier CPU I think it can reach higher, because I read that someone who uses 5000+ Black Edition overclocks nicely to 3GHz on that mobo. Most cheap mobo is more HT limited, means they can't reach high HT without giving trouble, so overclocking on this mobo would be better to increase its multiplier

Guys, this is an overclocking thread, its not about speculation on what things to come

Back to overclocking: Anyone wanna trade their 5000+ BE with my 3800+ F3? I got bored with it, I think I'm wanna play multiplier now

Yes I am, I would like to try 5000+ BE to be honest

May I know the voltage? Because I can't stay at 3.3GHz 1.45V for long, only pass SuperPI 1M but Orthos fail in 2 minutes

Don't try to be funny. First thing its not CPU voltage its 12V rail on PSU. Most software monitoring is always off from what the actual value, if you want actual result use DMM. Using CPUID hardware monitor it reported that my 12V rail is at 11.71V but using DMM it reported 12.32V. It runs great without any problem for years now

Its normal that one CPU is hotter than the other, sometime up to 5C difference

Yes it does, having a fan blowing to graphic card can give good result, even with stock cooler. I have 120mm fan blowing on the side of my stock cooler 9600GT, I expecting not much difference but temperature difference reaches up to 4-5C. I expecting stock HD4850 single slot can gain similar result
