BR voltage: is your chipset voltage. Carefull with this.

It bassically helps with vDroop and works when left to auto.

Cause no matter what setting, 2.5-2.8 or auto, with my voltage set at 1.5375 in the BIOS it will still drop to 1.488 under load, is this okay/normal?

I have provided a link to what I have done as far as OC'ing goes.

So.. THis is my Board type GA-MA790X-UD4P. ( Current OS WIN 7 64-bit RC1)

I need help guys because I seem to have it a wall when it comes to trying to OC.

Currently my CPU is OCed to 3.3GHz stable, with AUTO Voltage So my CPU core voltage Hovers around 1.328V and NB and others are @ AUTO with the DRAM underclocked to 400Mhz instead of 800Mhz.

What I have done...

YES I can unlock the 4th core BUT can not boot into windows at all (this also occurs at stock speeds i.e 2.8ghz)

I even tried to boot into windows with an OC of 3.6/ 3.7 and I can not boot into windows... lame.

I even played with the NB(Adjusting speed fomr 2000Mhz to 2200Mhz) speeds and FSB speeds but I am not all sure what I am even doing at all cause I am new to over clocking (yay!).

I've even tried AMD over drive and I can fool around with 3.5 Ghz for about 10-15 mins then I get a crash... Heck I have even successfully booted with 3.4 Ghz but still not a stable system and will crash with in 30mins- 1hr or so.

YES , I have reasonable cooling and a fan blowing in cold air from the outside in to my room with a ceiling fan, CPU Cooler is Zalman 9500 which is good enough, I suppose and case is Thermal Take black Armor with 250Cm Fan on the side and like 4 other fans on the case.

My question:

What am I doing wrong and can you please help me?

Is it the OS?? ( Even after going back to my standard little 3.3GHz OC I sometimes get a BSOD and need to restart the computer a few times just to boot into windows.)

How do I set up my system with the right voltages or even get my 4 cores stable?

Do you guys understand?

- Clock Speed - 3440Mhz
- Bus xMulti - 215 x 16
- RAM Speed - 860Mhz
- Vcore - 1.328v
- NB 2150MHz
- HT Link - 2150MHz
- Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P
- Chipset - 790X
- CPU Cooling - Stock (no heatpipes)

- CPU-Z Validation: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=790569

Right and if anyone recommends me to Unlock my 4th core watch this youtube first

All you need to do is reset your CMOS if it doesn't POST...

Its not normal for most boards but all 5 of the Asus boards i had bassically the same Vdroop as you are getting.

Not sure if there is much point but it might be worth having a look around to see if there is a volt mod around for your board.

I think you OS is probley abit corrupt, if you can easily reinstall it, do.

Your OS being corrupt wont hold you back in overclocking or unlocking.

I take it your just leaving your voltage to auto. Auto will bassically only do stock speeds so your going to need to start doing it yourself.

If you open overdrive and set the voltage with "CPU VID" underneath to 1.5v, then try setting 3.5GHz and see what that does. If it carries on running, which it should, go to the "Stability Test" tab, hit select all then start.

If that runs for like half an hour lower you "CPU VID" to one or two notches down the see if it will still go for half an hour, then lower and run and so on.

Also i dont know if you are using your Zalman with a fan controller or fan mate but if you are remember to turn the fan speed up.

Most of the time, if my "OS" lets me get in... I will usually set the Voltage myself, usually if I make a tiny change to either the CPU voltage or Ram Voltage... usual for my sticks its like 2.2v if I set ... anyways I get a BSOD sometimes. But only when trying to boot to windows. Lame....

Yes, my Fan is cranked up to the max ( hope thats not a bad thing) cause I have the fan controller

As far as my NB voltage is concerned... I do not know where to start as far as voltage goes for OCing.

I do know about the CPU voltage though, and the range I like it to be is around 1.40-1.50 ( if lower then I will try)

As for the CPU-VID, im going to try that out. Then post updates later on with some screen shots to show the progress.

- I still need a lot of help though.

Ok, thats good.

Your CPU-NB, if you think of it like a second CPU inside you CPU, when you overclock and overvolt, you add lots of extra heat to your CPU. Stock voltage is 1.2v, i would run it at 2600MHz if you can and see, once you have sorted your CPU overclock, what kind of voltage you are going need.

question to Wills - how you - master wills thou OC? and what is "OC"? i'd like to learn how to "OC" if you may. =] thanks.
