Hi, First off I'd like to say great site I found many of info on here Which brings me to the point I'm at now,Here are my System Specs:
MOBO: Asus P5E3
CPU: Q9400
Memory: Corsair 3x1GB 1333MHz (CM3X1024-1333C9)
Case: Thermaltake Armor+
PSU: Corsair 620W
Cooling: All Stock (For Now)
I want to (Well Have) Overclocked to 3.2Ghz and i will list my current BIOS settings:
CPU Ratio: 8.0
FSB Strap to NB: AUTO "Need Advice 0n this one" they order like this:200MHz,400Mhz and so on.
FSB Frequency:400
PCIE Frequency:100
DRAM Frequency: DDR3-801MHz "Which gives me a 1:1 Ratio"
"VOLTAGES"
CPU Voltage:1.1625
CPU PLL Voltage:Auto
FSB Termination Voltage:1.24 / MAX 1.50
DRAM Voltage:1.60
NB Voltage:1.27 / MAX 1.91
SB Voltage:Auto
I will Attach Image of CPUZ,CPUtemp and Intel Burn Test.
First out I did start from scratch and found my lowest CPU Voltage To boot windows was 1.13750 (With pretty my no increase in Temp from stock)But once i Started opening Appz IT BSOD and that was that So bumped up to 1.14375 and same again BSOD,So that led me to 1.1625 With the above setting in place, I guess my main concern are the following settings:
"FSB Strap To NB" - Will 200MHz cover it?
"CPU Voltage" - Whats Best For these Quads?
"CPU PLL Voltage" - I've Read in alot of places to just leave on Auto But what do you guys think?
"FSB Termination Voltage" Should 1.24 be enough?
"NB Voltage" - Is 1.27v Enough or average?
"SB Voltage" - Also Just read to leave it But if it is a Benifit to set it What Should I set it to?
So any Advice would be greatly appreciated basically It is just the voltages (obviously) I am curious about as they are to me a bit frustrating to tweek.
In the images you will see the CPUtemp the lowest temps displayed were from just IDLE for about 10mins before i ran the Burn Test so the go from about 30 - 60 underload so what is the highest i should let it go?
Once again any help would be great.
