Okay, I retested the 500mhz FSB settings I had saved and it's not stable even at 3ghz reguardless of vcore. I just used OCCT to test it last time but this time I did run Furmark as well and the system locked up within 1 - 2 minutes each time so I guess I do need more than NB voltage to make 500mhz stable it looks
I assume this is the point where I need to start tweaking my VTT voltages but tbh, after reading the different guides I've found I am still not 100% clear on how I should go about this or if it's really required at the 500FSB threshold or is my chip really at it's limits at 3.9ghz on air?Okay, I have already tested 500mhz FSB on my E7200 and with 1.41v NB it is stable but seems to require a sizeable boost in vcore compared ti the same clock with a lower FSB.
My max load temp on this CPU is 64/63* C while running OCCT and Furmark to create the maximum ammount of heat in the case making sure I got a true load temp similar to a heavy gaming session.
My CPU's vid ( if it matters ) is 1.1125.
I have not done the vdroop mod to my board yet but don't know how much that matters yet.
Here are the SS's of my current bios settings:
