Striker pwns EVGA with Q6600 G0

[Therasense]

At first: @ XS!

I think a higher Northbridge voltage will help you to reach a higher frequency on the processor, but running a Quadcore with 4 gigs of RAM is stressing the Northbridge very much in any case. What is the Northbridge voltage you are running at the moment?

Thank you very much.


The weird thing is that sometime it won't even post, I have a hard time believeing that this could have something to do with the voltages. I am a noob though so...

Here are my voltages anyway, hoping for some tips on how much i should raise them.

Vcore: Auto @ 2.4Ghz shows 1.21V in BIOS (currently set to 1.275V @ 3Ghz)
Memories: 2x1gb on Auto shows 1.88V in BIOS 4x1gb on Auto shows 2.14V in BIOS
1.2 HT: Auto shows 1.5V in BIOS
Northbridge: Auto shows 1.32V in BIOS
Southbridge: Auto shows 1.52 in BIOS
CPU VTT: Auto shows 1.36V in BIOS

If i want a higher frequency and be able to use my 4 memorysticks, exactly wich voltages values should i be looking at?

Not posting can definitely be caused by voltages. I found that to run a quad with 4gb of memory on the Striker, it definitely takes extra voltage on the northbridge and especially the 1.2v HT. Here is what i'm currently running.

Vcore: 1.5v
Memory: 2.0v
1.2v HT: 1.65v
NB Core: 1.55v
SB Core: 1.65v
CPU VTT: 1.4v


Also, try setting your FSB to something like just above or below a large rounded off number like 1720 instead of 1700. I found my striker would crash running 1700fsb yet runs rock solid when set to 1720.

You're going to have to up the vcore if you expect to get any higher than 3ghz in my opinion. Run through this thread and you'll see that most of us are running between 1.4-1.55v to get clocks in the 3.5-3.6ghz range.
