I am glad to report that bumping up the voltage of the ram to 2.1 resulted in a dramatic 3dmark vantage CPU test score, it increased it by around a 1000 points!!! now im going to bump up the Vcore just a little bit, and c how it goes. :) | powerover (12121) | ||

| 785868 | 2009-07-02 01:26:00 | umm good question. I set everything on auto for the voltages, so i guess the mobo will decide what voltages is the best..will do a reboot and get back to you on that one... prime95 has been running for 5 hours now, no errors no warnings, temp is hovering just around 60 when doing the stress test...everything seems stable :) Naughty naughty, that is a no no. If you read the guide completely, you would have seen something called vdroop. This is where the voltage selected in the BIOS does not match the voltage in windows, and is mainly due to power draw. If you set the BIOS to automatically adjust the vcpu, when windows is under power\load, it may spike the voltage and zap your cpu. You must always set your voltage period.... |
