Hi,
I have an Asus P6X58D and a i7 930 I have been trying to overclock to 4.2 whicxh i have done and when my room was cool it wouldn't go over 80 but now its getting hotter again its going up to 87 (core1) i have just reset my cooler and no diffrence, i'm running at 1.33 vcore at the moment trying to get this down, but the question is what settings in the bios effect the temp of the cpu? other than vcore...
thanks jamie

VTT will effect it a lot.

Having Hyper Threading enabled affects your cpu temps alot. By disabling it, you will lose more than 5'C on all cores.

if VTT is left on auto what is it normally at?

HTT, VTT, vcore are usually what increases the temperatures the most. Also, you can bring it down to 4.0Ghz in the summers if you want

. Lowering any of those will help.

Depends on what you do, encoding/decoding/rar/benching you will loose performance, but with games there is absolutely 0 increase in performance.

And is vtt called something else on my mo-bo? as i can't find it!

O cool thats work knowing i will do so tests on that to see (not that i don't belive you but to check if thats the same for the games i play.

HT and cpu voltage (VTT/Vcore/CPU Voltage)

QPI/Uncore I believe but I'm not 100% sure

 

[gurusan]

vcore and vtt are the only ones that will directly affect CPU temps as far as I'm aware.
