Nope. Deluxe has 16. You mean VRM type/model/make? I'd would think so.Quote:

Intel states 1.52v. There's a big discussion on whether this is safe. It sure sounds like A LOT. I wouldnt go over 80c.

"Intel states 1.52v. There's a big discussion on whether this is safe. It sure sounds like A LOT. I wouldnt go over 80c."
This is false: Intel doesn't state the safe voltage at all. 1.52V is just the maximum voltage the new VID encoding can represent. An explanation follows below if you care.
VID is encoded in a byte, whose 8 bits can represent 2^8 = 256 different values. One value (all bits unset) is reserved for a null or invalid voltage. The first of the 255 remaining values decodes to 0.25V. The next 254 5mV increments sum up to an extra 254 * 5 = 1.27V. Therefore, the range of representable (not deemed safe or qualified by Intel in another way) values is 0.25 - 1.52V.
Judging by what i've seen temps wise i'd probably say up to 1.4v is safe for 24/7 ... for a quick bench/overclocking test anything goes really as long as you accept the risks and the temps are under 80-85 ish max ...
Did you guys do a fresh install of Windows 7 ? got a setup that I'm happy with and need to understand any difficulties with trying to use it with the new motherboard and chip. Thank You!
I didn't at first and then I did and at least a graphic card issue disappeared... I wonder how many issues it fixed and I might have to recheck all my stability settings because I am under the impression I could also down my volts a little.Quote:

This is normal, it will downclock when not under load.Quote:

Not sure why Speed step is causing issues, Here is why I turn it off. It's supossed to reduce clock and core voltages (power saving feature) but when OCing from bios, Core voltage only drops slightly as compared to stock clocks where core voltage really drops.
The pcb is ready for a modQuote:

I, personally, do push my rig that far in some normal apps... prime also helps ensure you have no calculation errors which is important to me, not just avoiding crashes. :)Quote:

Tried to find out how VRM frequency affects oc.
Starting with VRM freq = Auto.
I went to an oc of 5ghz and with volt where Prime95 would fail after 2-3 tests. (Linx would pass).
Reboot and set VRM=350. Prime95 still failed after 2-3 tests.
Set 400, still fail, 450 still failed.
Am I going about this the wrong way?
Asus rep on VRM:
VRM Frequency change to 350 – this value will allow for scaling to 50+ multi without issues

DeadmanX, I use the Small ffts. It should do fine for max stress testing cpu.
I had the same issue..Quote:

System properties doesn't show the actual overclock, neither does Coretemp...
BTW, Thanks illuminati-hwt for your answers above...
To what gain? I have all enabled. RealTemp 3.65 reads 5ghz just fine.Quote:

Manually from the CD you may have to run the Bluetooth driver and the intel management software (I did)
For me, disabling speedstep wouldn't work for me, but when I disabled the next 3 values I was able to see a constant speed of 4.8ghz in CPU-ZQuote:

Sandybridge maximum safe voltages
Core Voltage - Not recommended too exceed 1.38v, doing so could kill the CPU, we therefor recommend a range of 1.325-1.350v if overclocking.
Memory Voltage - Intel recommend 1.50v plus/minus 5% which means upto 1.58v is the safe recommended limit. In our testing we have found 1.65v has caused no issues.
BCLK Base Clock - This is strictly a NO, anyone using base clock overclocking could/will cause damange to CPU/Mainboard. (Set manually to 100)
PLL Voltage - Do not exceed 1.9v!!
Processor - Basically we recommend customers not to exceed 1.35v to play it safe, all our bundles are set at 1.3250v or lower, any competitors offering bundles above 4.6GHz you should be enquiring as to what voltage they are using as we believe anything over 1.38v will limit CPU lifespan and anything over 1.42v will likely kill the CPU or severely limit its lifespan.
Memory - Intel recommend 1.50v plus/minus 5% which means 1.60v is the ideal safe maximum, but we have found in our testing all 1.65v memory is fine. We have also found most new 1.65v like Corsair XMS3 will run at its rated timings with just 1.50-1.55v which is well within Intel specifications. So people upgrading to Sandybridge you can still use your old DDR3, but we do recommend you run it at 1.60v or less. We are shipping most of our bundles which feature Corsair XMS at 1.50v-1.55v at rated timings. We've also discussed with Asus and MSI regarding voltages for memory and they also confirm in their testing 1.65v caused no issues with reliability.
Base Clock - To put it simple if you value the life of your components, do not overclock using base clock!
PLL Voltage - Again do not exceed 1.9v!
Don't know where it comes from or how official it might be...
I was doing something with Winrar and Quickpar and the CPU would jump constantly from 1.6 and it wouldn't stay "maxed" while workingQuote:
