Actually I spent the 6 hours trying to get a stable OC which still isn't happening reliably.

No need to be insulting. I was just sharing information from the other thread.

WTF? What he's saying is true. Confirmed on the other thread and my personal experience. Check it out! What he shared was very important.

On one hand it is nice that the board will automatically set the voltage to stabalize your OC however on the other hand this is not very accurate and every time you boot your PC it will fluctuate a bit. NEVER USE AUTO. I garauntee those people claiming to OC at default vcore will not even post if they set the VCORE from "normal" to manual 1.325.

I don't think you can make a general statement like that. No offense but I'm running 400x8 at default voltage. I haven't flashed to F4 yet. I'm still on F3, but CPUZ shows default voltage, even after 15 hours of dual prime.
http://www.cluboverclocker.com/image...ime_stable.gif I just decided to link to it in case it was too big. Here is another one with dual prime running, CPUZ and EasyTune 5. I don't know what else I can use to tell if the voltage is accurate. http://www.cluboverclocker.com/image...ultvoltage.gif

How do you guys get CPU-Z to show the correct voltage? Mine shows the same no matter what I do :( I have to use Asus PC Probe II to get a voltage readout.

By the way, what exactly is the default voltage for Core 2 Duos? I've seen .85v all the way up to 1.35v on Intel's site.

My CPU is nice,too!!

I'm at 8x438MHz right now, week25 CPU on Asus P5W DH BIOS 1101, vMCH = 1.65V, vCore = 1.45V in Windows/PC Probe II (set to like 1.4625 in BIOS), memory runs with a divider at 657MHz CL4-4-4-16, too bad it won't do 1:1...

It is prime stable, but I only had it running for 1.5hours, I had do cancel it because I wanted to game... :-P

I will try it longer later on...

And I wanna do vMCH mod on my board and get some watercooling to it... ;-)

Vmch an other voltages if set to Normal also increase (vmch Normal = +0.3V) if you overclock. And don't trust cpuz, just use DMM :)

That's related to the DS3 posts, right?!?!

CPU-Z sucks, hehe...I saw one guy on eBay germany selling his C2D, claiming it would do 3400MHz on 1.213Volts, then I told him, that it's a CPU-Z bug, and he should show me the DMM measuring...lol...suddenly the auction was ended.. :P

How do you even know what places to measure with the DMM? I never figured that out :(

Excuse my ignorance, DMM?:confused:

It's hard to get a "screenshot" of a DMM and prove you are actually running at 400x8 while you are measuring. I guess it would have to be an integrity issue. GAM DMM= Digital MultiMeter.
F1 through F3 I have left everything in the BIOS set to normal or auto and just adjusted the FSB to 400MHz.
08-17-2006, 11:43 PM

I just rebooted and manually set my voltage to 1.325v The computer still runs fine at 400 x 8 and CPUZ's voltage went from reporting 1.296v to 1.312v. I think I'll set it back to normal. LOL If CPUZ is right, manually setting it to 1.325v actually increased the voltage from what I was running before. :) Easytune 5 still reports 1.31v.

Dual Prime large FFT failed after 40 minutes at 1.1v, so I bumped up the voltage by one notch. I'm not sure how stable this overclock is yet (I'm dual priming right now), so I'll edit this post once I get results.

Yeah, DMM = Digital multimeter. Check mods section (also sticky threads in Intel section) for places to check your vcore, vdimm, vmch etc :)

Surely there's more in her, but the IHS pales in comparison to the E6300 I had. My paste applique looks almost as bad as zoob's proc. Probably hit it with sand before I push any harder...

I'm on normal, but as you can see in the screenie, it's not overvolting. Don't know what to tell ya bro.
