Hi all
I currently have a Winchester 3200+ installed in my system
it has been runnin 10x241 for some months now
when i started testing it for the highest speed in the beginning i got it 101% stable at 10x246
but when the warm weather started i noticed stability was lost
so i backed down to the 10x241 at 1.55V x104%, which i tested 101% stable back then (with roomtemp of +-20°C)
since then i didnt really prime or occt anymore, i just played gta: sa
after awhile gta crashed sometimes, and temps were also higher then they used to be when occting at 10x241 which seems very strange to me
on the hottest summerdays the cpu became till 72°C once after a few hours of gta:sa , and i remember a highest occt temp of 61°C from when it was still stable if im right
most of the times it crashed out of gta:sa at 69°C, and i even think that wasnt allways on extremely hot days
i live in belgium btw, so nice summerdays are usually between 20-25°C, and the really hot ones around 30°C, 35°C perhaps happened ones or twice this year
i should have acted back then, but gta was too addictive, and i just kept playing
another reason i didnt start over finding the new 101% stable speed was that i was gonna buy a Venice 3200+ cpu soon
well, actually i did a few days ago... so i wanted to install the newest official dfi bios (623-3)... but offcourse i dont flash in an unstable environment, so i backed down the 10x241 to 10x200, leaving all other settings intact, thinking this should CERTAINLY do the trick since this was 101% stable at 10x241 a few months before!
but after a reboot i decided to at least try a few minutes of occt just to be sure...
occt didnt even pass 10 secs
so i started freakin out
i decreased voltage to 1.55V instead of 1.55V x104%
tried occt again, perhaps 15secs now
reboot, load bios defaults (also once tested 101% stable)
tried occt again, about the same 15 secs
reboot, decrease multiplier to 8x200, increase voltage to 1.5V
tried occt again, allmost a minute this time
reboot, memtest test8 for 1 loop: no probs
damn peepz
im freakin out!!
i wanne install my new venice, but i still wanne sell this winchester!!
wtf is happening plzzz?
edit:
just tried lowering speed to 6x200 at 1.375V with chipset and ltd voltage up 2 steps
and now prime is passing for some tests allready
temp while priming is 43°C now
