It's very strange.

At 3.2 it's perfectly stable with 1.375V.
A 100MHz boost and I need 1.45V to stabilize it. I need to get me one of those Biostar boards.

no, that sounds about right actually. to stabalize my system at 3.3ghz for 4 hours of OCCT it takes about 1.45v on my system as well. once you hit 3.3ghz these chips become voltage hungry

ok ya so after 2 hours stable, i restarted and windows froze on the loading, so i have to go back to 2.7 gahh this is so stupid, ill try removing the gpu and seeing if that helps at all. tomorrow is another day

stock voltage but it read 1.296v, 200mhz bus, 1800,mhz HT, multiplier x15 @ 3.0ghz
ECS A770m-A

BTW, what software do you guys use to measure temps? thanks

flak4

I have that board. Not a very good overclocker, that one.

If you even touch the ref clock your overclock will not be stable. Even after stress testing; you will get mixed results. Many headaches with that board.

Only use the multiplier.

But if you succeed at a stable overclock using the ref clock please let me know because I want to test it on mine as well.

I use HWmonitor. Google it. It's written by the same people who wrote CPU-Z.

And yeah - I can go 3GHz with no voltage increase. Stock volts at 1.275V.

@flak4

thanks bro

BTW, whats the difference between HWMonitor and HWMonitor Pro?

RawZ

Woohoo, 7750 BE club!

Here the most i can get:

All i can reach on the CPU since i'm using an old cheap-ass £35 board. Still, 3.1Ghz on that board is pretty good i suppose lol.

Using a S1283. Idle temps 30.C / 45.C Load roughly.

Add me!

ok i guess its my mb, im gonna take it back and just eat the restocking fee, what MB can i get that i will be able to OC this well??
its gotta be from

I have a similar version to this board, and it overclocks pretty well despite my crappy power supply. when I get a new one I'll be able to tell just how well it does. (I just ordered a kill-a-watt meter beforehand to see my actual power draw before I do buy it, but this is a 500 watt rosewill PSU that's over 3 years old now. I really doubt it's happy with the current setup)
