I just go by the CPU temp reading and aim for 62C load max. It's a bit on the conservative side though.

What's up with the bizarre new fad of undervolting?? haha But of course, I joined.

Set BIOS to 1.1250v and running smoothly, although it appears that this ASRock board has a tendancy to boost vCore? My CPUZ readings are ALWAYS ~0.0175 higher than what I set in BIOS. Also, interestingly, while undervolting I have turned CnQ back on and when I'm not under load, my voltages in CPUZ are sometimes as high as 1.45 (!!) but usually hover between 1.288 and 1.328. Then when I'm under load it heads back down to what I set in BIOS...but at 1.125, CPUZ shows 1.144. So I'm guessing this is vDrop (vBoost?) on the ASRock board? I'm also using ASRock eXtreme Tuner to check voltages which seems to be a lot more accurate and it also shows 1.144. so thats .019v boost over what I set x.x

As a funny aside, I used the power saving feature on the ASRock eXtreme Tuner and it crashed the crap out of my system, hahaha, probably set the vCore to like 0.5 xD

They crazy overvoltage is from turbo core. Atleast mine stopped doing that when I disabled turbo core.

added biggrin.gif

since I pretty much got my CPU figured out as to what voltages I need for certain frequencies as both an X4/X6 ... now I'm testing for my max stable NB speed.

3200 @ 1.35v is Prime stable for 1.5 hours so far smile.gif

Thank you for the lead! I think I have all the power/performance options off but I'll double check...there's just a lot of unique 'features' in every mobo and I've had a hard time tracking down what each and every one does and whether or not it should be on...and even then it takes a while to grasp the subject tongue.gif (I'm looking at you LLC). I've gleaned enough to have turned off CnQ, c1e, and turbo core while dialing in my OC but theres gotta be like 4 other 'features' I have no clue about...Virtual Machine state crap and all that....wwaauuughhhhh

I've seen some people just get in there and start increasing/decreasing numbers that they have no knowledge about.

I've got turbo enabled and my numbers are also fluctuating as much. just left it on. But I did disable LLC in this next run with the extra cores unlocked, at stock, and with a vcore of 1.16v. 1.14V crashed.


468

Not really sure what we are accomplishing here except that the temps are very attractive.

Now lets go back to OVERCLOCKING. Actually I have a school project to finish.

Have a nice weekend OCN!

Testing to see if this is stable or not as we speak.
375
If it is, ill try to get to 4.1 stable.

Eeek...hahaha I'd be too afraid. I admit I can get trigger happy a bit, but I definitely want to be well informed...plus, it's just fascinating in general ^_^

Holy christ, if I had temps like that...hahaha!

I'm not sure either...haha. My voltages are kind of high, because it's the first thing I go to if I get failures in prime blend or crashes...I'm just not that knowledgable yet to do anything more intricate, lol.

Anyway, at this point I've moved on from the puzzlingly high voltages. It seemed to still be going on with or without Turbo Core...I'll have to double check that...been a busy day tongue.gif On a more disturbing note, I'm having some other really strange boot issues which seem to be related to peripherals...causing POST and boot logo to hang for (sometimes really long) periods of time...perhaps I'll open a thread smile.gif

Still dialing in my OC's before I 'officially' join up ^_^

Just placed an order for all my parts to build a 960t-based machine!

960t
ASRock 970 extreme3
G. Skill DDR3-1600 2x4gb
Sapphire Radeon 6850
Seasonic 620w 80+ bronze
Rosewill Blackbone mid tower
ASUS DVDRW
Seagate Barracuda 500gb

total cost: $620!!

You guys have been very helpful in my choice of CPU and at $115 I couldn't feel more excited.

I'm going to be posting the results of my build, and hope to eventually do a little overclocking! Can't wait to be in the club biggrin.gif
