if i need 1.45V for OCCT stable but 1.425V is good enough for what i do on my comp, how much voltage should I pick

sonenelson · 05-03-09

use 1.425 if it never crashes leave it low, if it does, move it up one notch... or, save often

elito · 05-04-09

use the 1.45 just to ensure it won't randomly BSOD you. seriously it doesnt hurt them. max safe volt to operate is 1.425 STOCK. and 1.45 is just a .025 OVER volt. cant hurt it at all..gotta see it that way my fellow oc'er.

and i guess heres my final. when ever OP updates.

I think thats what's so interesting. Is to see what everyone else is getting and seeing if you can obtain something close to it. In your case, i know i cannot.

yea, well; we won't know until we try. so yea, hittin 300+ fsb was merely possible since am2's came out. so you gotta put what u know, learnt into great use. and i tried to do so. so yea. now who wants this 720 so i can grap a 710 or 945,,..

yes seein how people get to 3.6 without much voltage makes me wonder what's wrong with mine hehe, not quite impress so far. If i remember correctly with that 1.42v I can only get 3.4, didn't check for stability though, a few times it just reboots, I wonder if my OS is givin problems, because it was the OS for my previous hardware, I think i'll reformat everythin just to be sure..

The last one i tried was 3.6 with 1.5v, that actually lasted only 3-4 hours, BSOD after that.

I remember previous when i overclock my 5000+ black edition, if there's problems like not enough voltage, prime95 will show up red, with this x3 720, I get BSOD all the time heh, hmm maybe my OS screwing prime95 up or somethin...

elito · 05-04-09

wow..3.5@1.5..damn that is A WHOLE LOT.

just a sidenote, i went all the upto 3.9 useable, dont think its stable.

I think our OC capability aren't so great cause our MSI mobos.. atleast i strongly guess that. But anyway, gonna stand at 3.5 @ 1.45v cause i think over 1.5v at daily use is not good for cpu. Strangest thing with my mobo is that when i raise fsb i have to stop until i reach 800mhz(Memoryspeed), no matter which memory divider i use. I have 1066 HyperX blocks now so that wont be a problem. Mobo just wont post. Weird?!
