Ahh okay, makes sense. I worded that terribly too ><

TurboV EVO is pretty cool :)

I'm using your parameters Dave and it's stable :P Although 1.475V puts my actual voltage at a steady 1.50V and I'm hitting 58C at times while folding, so it looks like...

Yeah I have advanced view enabled in prefs, although still wont let, I'll check out Turbo V though :)

Much appreciated Jethro, although for some reason my CPU overdrive is disabled and it wont let me slide to unlock it, wants me to first run auto-tune, which I am sort of nervous to do. :/

Of course I understand this is overclocking and nothing is 100%, I accept anything that happens. It is all worth the learning experience and I appreciate all the help!

My 955 was perfectly fine...

Crap! I meant CPU Voltage, CPU/NB is at 1.2V, I'll edit that!

Edit,

What do you think is a good DRAM Voltage for me, Beep? I'm at 1333 right now and timings on auto, but maybe I should lower...

So yesterday I switched my CPU fan from pulling air to pushing air through the heatsync fins, and I got 3C drop in temp :) I also added mild 120mm CM intake fan to the bottom of my case.

Turns...

So what do you guys think? Are the chances worth it to exchange for another in hopes of one that demands less Voltage?(I can exchange for sure) Or are there other parameters to check that could lower...

Ahhh okay definitely going to check that thermal compound out!

My ram is at 1333 and everything else is the same as in post #16 with exception to the voltage changes of course.

Bad news.. I have been unsuccessful in stabilizing this CPU all the way up 1.440V and sick of rebooting so I just gave it 1.45V (actual 1.452-1.476V in CPUZ) and again got that fast smooth bootup. No...

Haha appreciate all the help!

I spoke a bit too soon though, you probably missed this part of my last post because I sort of ninja edited it:

"Edit, Nevermind I spoke too soon. It seems the OC...

Alright! After much Prime95'ing, 1.390V is the lowest voltage with the current settings at 3.8Ghz, max temp of 54C mainly floating around 52-53C(nighttime). 33-34C at idle with just firefox up.
...

I've been hard at work Prime testing from 1.375V, 1.378V, 1.381V, and currently testing 1.384V.. Hopefully it holds soon! :yepp:

I think I like BIOS for making changes :P

Bummer, I was hoping for 4.0Ghz but I guess 3.8Ghz stable isn't really something to complain about. :)

It's been running with no errors for an hour and 23 minutes now. I hope so!

Something to consider is apparently it takes 200 hours of the computer heat cycling the cpu in order for my artic silver...

Sweet! If it's staying put at 3.8Ghz on 1.4V, maybe I can squeeze 3.9Ghz out of it?

I'm sure time will tell, it is about to be summer and it's going to be hotter, I'm sure I'll find a good...

Haha awesome!!

So do you think it's worth keeping? I also never really turn my computer off, I restart it about once every 2 days but that's about it.

Prime95 still running strong btw, 55/56C....

Wow.. Thank you so much Dave and Beep! I really appreciate it and this is starting to make more sense.

So with your settings Dave, it booted up just fine although not as fast/smoothly as before...

It seemed I ended up asking more questions than I came for answers in that guide. With your info and the previous posts I have some work to do, so I'm going to get to it.

It seems people are...

I appreciate this info very much! So if the "1.2NB" I listed is not the common NB reffered to, which one in my pic of the bios is the one that I should be adjusting for voltage? I'm a bit lost.
I...

Muuuch smoother + faster bootup with 1.475V at 3.8Ghz. Coretemp says idle temp is 37C(night time). I'm going to go to sleep but I'll post tomorrow Prime95 results. Appreciate the advice. :)

It's a C3, sorry for the hasty post, adding as many screens as I can atm. I really want to get to the bottom of this. I'm at 3.8Ghz right now with the sreens above, my comp keeps BSODing randomly. :(...

So I have a 955BE and I am trying to get to 4Ghz on air with a CM 212+ cooler.

My first goal is 3.8GHZ but I can barely make it stable past booting, Prime95 testing results in a very swift BSOD.
