So tempting...

Quote:Originally Posted by TwoCables Whew.  It's a common misunderstanding, so I had to be sure! So, I'm still stumped. Me too. It runs perfectly fine at -0.050V @ 4.2GHz with no lock ups or BSOD. Its only when I leave it idle...

Quote:Originally Posted by TwoCables Do you mean that you went from -0.050V to -0.150V?  I mean, that's a decrease because it's further down from 0.000V. I don't know if this is the problem, but I feel that it's possible if this is...

Quote:Originally Posted by TwoCables Nice!  You're very welcome. What is CPU-Z showing you for a core voltage while running Prime95's Blend test for like, several seconds? Oh. I didn't even notice you posted after me, my apologies....

Yay! Thanks TwoCables. That really helped. I'm currently running at Level 3 and with Offset of -0.050V, Prime95 stable with no idle lock ups

Okay, my CPU Load-Line Calibration says "Level 5" I'm not sure if this will help but here are the rest of the settings. CPU Ratio : 42 Host Clock Override BLCK : 100 Spread Spectrum: Auto Intel SpeedStep Technology : Enabled Intel...

Quote:Originally Posted by TwoCables Oh.  Now we may need to increase the Load-Line Calibration a little.  What is it set to right now? It is currently set on Auto (1.832V). Is that enough?

Quote:Originally Posted by TwoCables Oh.  That's normal because the software is applying the overclock once Windows loads it.  I wasn't thinking. Either way, disabling C3 and C6 will apply (the setting will stick). Sadly It still...

Quote:Originally Posted by TwoCables The Offset is set to Auto?  That's not a good thing.  It makes the voltage higher than it needs to be when overclocking.  However, this is not why you're getting idle lock-ups. Sorry, the CPU...

Quote:Originally Posted by Bozzeh Your voltage is too low, try changing it slightly up in the bios, if you can't tell me. Actually, I just went into BIOS and I'm running stock (3.5GHz) everything and CPU Voltage is on Auto. How...
