Im scared of high voltages

EDIT : what should be the max voltage on the cpu and ram?

StormHorse · Post by **StormHorse** » 09 Jul 2007, 19:57

I'm not a fan of 5-5-5 timings there just too loose if you can keep it at 4-4-4 then rather do it. other wise something like 5-4-4-4 would be better. just my opinion though!

Druggs · Post by **Druggs** » 09 Jul 2007, 20:03

Cool thanks guys , this is my first atempt to go all the way to 3.6 ghz

3.4Ghz on 1.3675 volts

last but not least 3.6Ghz at 1.3675 volts

my ram timings was 4-3-3-10 at 2.1 volts @ 800 mhz

Druggs, don't worry about high voltages.

I used to be afraid but your board is actually designed to protect you from your own stupidity.

If you up the voltage beyond the capabilities of the components the motherboard won't boot, just reset the cmos and start again.

Just saw your new post.

I would not run your chip with a voltage of so low, it will just lead to the chip being unable to cope.

give ot 1.4 at least.

Druggs · Post by **Druggs** » 09 Jul 2007, 20:12

lol are you sure i can be pretty stupid sometimes

k thanks I'll up the voltage to 1.4 and see what differance does it make

well at least your timings are better than mine, and your score is descent now.

Nice going.

Incorrect. What happens on these Asus mobo's is if you set the FSB (Just using this as example) to a too high a speed while the board hasn't got enough voltage, your computer wont start/POST and normally you'd have to reset your cmos.

With our boards, the pc just resets itself to stock speeds and then you can carry on overclocking from there

Depends

Sometimes I made my p5b-d not post no matter what

hehe forgetting to set my ram divider

Yeah it occasionally happens where I have to reset the cmos (I have only done this literally 4 times since having this computer). The rest of the time, the automatic reset does the job!

Looks like I better start saving up for a new system...

thanks, my ram was just stable enough to save the pic, but hey I got 13 sec

Hehe yea

Keep up the work. Just try learn more

8O

You run your cpu @ 3.8Ghz 24/7 ?

I34z1k · Post by **I34z1k** » 11 Jul 2007, 11:07

Dude its 2.66ghz stock. Its like running a 6400 @ 3.2ghz

Papsnoek · Post by **Papsnoek** » 11 Jul 2007, 11:18

Yip, Running 24/7 at 3.8Ghz with just the stock cooling and a reduced voltage (1.375 about)

Just waiting to get my new water pump and then my water cooling will be back online (old pump packed up) and then I can push it hopefully over 4Ghz!

Who was that to? Me?

if so, look @ his OCed specs. Thats pretty high to run 24/7 and its not really necessary, but whatever

Papsnoek · Post by **Papsnoek** » 12 Jul 2007, 10:24

It is very necessary. The thing is damn slow if I dont overclock it and also the fancy RAM I got is useless at the standard FSB speed!

So overclock is a must!

Post by **KillerByte** » 12 Jul 2007, 10:38

whats your temps Papsnoek

Papsnoek · Post by **Papsnoek** » 12 Jul 2007, 10:51

Well I just recently upgraded my motherboard from a 955x to 975x

955x temps at 3.8Ghz used to be around 78 degree @ load and about 55 degrees @ idle

975x temps at 3.8Ghz are now 55 degrees @ load and about 30 degrees @ idle.

The new board has an eight phase power supply and better power management but I never thought it could drop the temperatures that much. also I dropped the voltage from 1.4v to 1.335v! I have felt the heatsink and it's not hot so I think are are about right.

This is with a stock cooler, Still waiting to replace my water pump and then it will be water cooled.

Druggs · Post by **Druggs** » 12 Jul 2007, 12:05

can you give us a picture of cpuz and core temp , BTW: hectic overclocking there

Papsnoek · Post by **Papsnoek** » 12 Jul 2007, 12:13

Will do. Just at work now and only have internet here. Will take sceenshots when I get home and post tommorrow.

It is quite a serious overclock hey. Was very cheap too. The CPU that is!
