Are you monitoring temps? I'd suggest you get prime95, and set it in for at least 5-6 hours. And then use a temperature monitoring program. Are you talking to the people at Overclocking NZ Forums? If not, you should be. Also, read their stickies before asking questions if you want to be taken seriously. |

Voltage is jumping around 1.270-1.350V. |

| 709546 | 2008-10-04 01:27:00 | Hey there. Voltage is set to auto. Max voltage my BIOS allows is 1.35V and it seems to automatically just use up to 1.35V itself. You should be using a couple of utilities for overclocking. One I use is CPU-Z (it's free) and it will tell you the actual voltage your CPU is using - which will often be quite different to what you have set the motherboard at. It is dynamic too, so you can see what the voltage draw is when under load such as during a stress test. If you are not confident to set voltage yourself - don't overclock... And if you are not at least mentally prepared to blow some hardware away to hardware heaven - don't overclock... I cannot set the multiplier any higher, max value seems to be 10x =(. I was referring to the RAM multiplier, sorry. Set it so that you are as close to the RAM default speed as possible given whatever FSB speed you are running. |
