ok good to know, thanks for the response. Just want to know what i should set as my limits so i dont screw things up too badly
is there an issue with having voltage to high for clock speed, eg 1.4v when less than 4.2ghz?
Also, when i bumped up to 4.00 ghz, i tried every voltage i could between 1.36 and 1.42, as well as cycling through all the QPI voltages i could from 1.6 to 1.7. And couldnt get anything to stick.
just out of interest, if 950's dont like fast ram/ lots of ram, which chips from 1366 do? When i was purchasing i had no options due to stock...
re turning off speedstep + temps, temperature was mainly a problem at 1.40+ volts, at the moment im about 48-51 for idle and 75-78 under load.
I will try dropping the cpu back lower and fiddle some other voltages...
