this is caused by cpu, not board, altohugh drop of a board will affect when it happens. I assumed it was current....


So, like, i got these quads. 3.0ghz, 1.18v, no problem. Both of them. Both 1.25v VID.

So, i start increasing clocks....failures @ 3.3ghz, 1.25v, so i go up to 1.325v.

Reboot into windows...it freezes.




scratch my head a little bit, dig out the multimeter... set by real cpu volts, 1.299v. it gets into windows.(@ 367x9)

run prime...crashes after 4 hrs.

up voltage to 1.325....real by DMM, 1.321v...cannot load windows.


Pull out RD600... 1.3125v...windows boots.


run prime, throttles. lower voltage to 1.297v, boots.

run prime, throttles after 55minutes.

1.286, throttles after 2 hrs.

1.275, not stable.


So, i drop speed back down to stock, up votls to 1.35, boots into windows, runs prime fine, no throttles.

UP voltage to 1.55v, boots into windows, runs prime, hits 80c(stock cooler), no throttle.


up to 3ghz, 1.325 volts, no ,boot.

Lower to 1.299v, boots, stable.


1.3122v, throttles.


Take it ofr what you will...i dunno.
