Well I have a cpu vcore, nb voltage and the cpu vtt options.

I do believe that the CPU VTT is your NorthBridge Voltage!

The "NB Core voltage" is your NB Voltage, and the "CPU VTT voltage" is your CPU voltage I believe, but there is also a "CPU VID Special Add" which more or less fine tunes your CPU voltage.

If you set the CPU VTT voltage to 1.1, then set the CPU VID SPecial Add voltage to +50mv (+.05volts), your CPU Vcore now becomes 1.15

At least that is what I have trial and errored and found out...please correct me if I am wrong.

I am also using the 12/24 BIOS which may be different from yours

Edit: I stand corrected, Read This!!

I believe upping the CPU VTT Voltagge is also upping the CPU Vcore at the same time Read Post 2 Here.....it was coincidental on my part

Your CPU VID special Add, is your cpu voltages. They are in +mV intervals.

Can too much voltage cause instability?

Anything is possible, but it can fry whatever component you are applying it to. I'd up it in small increments, and if after a few times of doing this you are still unstable it's probably due to another setting you need to change.

Yea, I can't pass orthos at 3.5 or 3.6 with 1.55 vcore. It's got to be something else and I'm not sure what. I have my memory at 5-5-5-18 2T with 2.2v at 1.1.

The 'old' general rule was never to go above 1.55v to the CPU, things have changed since then. If you can keep the temperatures below the thermal spec, you'll be just fine. Though like me and others on OCN.net I don't like maxing out my CPU on the thermal side of things, so I like a 5-10c buffer.

People using watercooling can up the volts past 1.6v if their system keeps the temps low enough. Most aftermarket air coolers: thermalright ultra 120, tuniq tower, zalman 9700 can keep dual/quads cool, though quads get much hotter then the duals!

Will the Ultra 120 extreme fit on here without modification?

[BTK]

should since tuniq will which is bigger
