Asus 680i, P5N32-E Sli Results.

I need advice to go higher than 1800 (450) FSB and over 3.6 GHz.

My problem with CPU is that to go from 3.5 GHz to 3.55 GHz it took me from 1.60 to 1.6250 volts. I'm running water-cooling with Apogee GT block. Water temp is 30.5 idle and goes up to 35.5 while running orthos stress CPU with priority 6. I'm afraid to burn up chip. I really want it to last at least 12 months.

I don't get it , you are afraid of risking ya CPU but either way you are pumping 1.65 volts through it to get 3.6Ghz.. I really want to know what coretemps you are getting at full load... If you ahve already 66°C on the CPU then yoru coretemps must be over 70°c man ,and that's not good !!!

1.6250 Vcore --> Alter Htt and NB voltages and try to lower this man
1.9750 RAM
1.45 1.2V HTT --> try eg 1.5
1.45 Northbridge --> try 1.55
1.60 Southbridge
1.55 - CPU VTT

Also why don't you use 9 X 400 with ram in sync... seems to me easier to do ... and for me is faster... (but opinions vary on that)

If I would want to keep my CPU for at least a year I would push max 1.55 volts or so through no matter what temps it reached, with your settings 400FSB should be easy to do...

It's weird with my 744G I couldn't do 3600mhz not even at 1.6 volts like you, then I lapped it ( wanted to try it), temps dropped 8°C under load and now 3600mhz is possible with less volts) I reach 3600mhz now with 1.49 real volts under load, coretemps stay at 56°C after 12 hours of Orthos with my thermalright Ultra 120...

And just as a note that Orthos doesn't seem it ran 12 hours mate lol
