Your suggested settings for Blackops Quad @450fsb benching

[saaya]

Saaya, would appreciate qualification on the above, don’t want to prove you wrong at my expense.

there are dozens to hundreds of people running more than 1.3v vtt and nobody i know has killed a cpu with high vtt for sure. maybe one or two guys with insane vtt... but 1.4v and 1.5v should be fine... i cant prove this tho... so sure, if you dont wanna risk anything and stay low, stay low...

and dont forget your using a 45nm cpu, which means setting 1.3v in bios will results in 1.2v.

Yes I am aware of that issue, so again clarification as to acceptable voltage setting.

i wouldnt call it an issue, but ok...

vt is crucial in reaching high fsb speeds, unless you wanna fiddle with cpu gtl, and even then you will need high vtt to reach high fsb speeds with a quad.

Yes, I am aware of increased are required, some numbers please that will give results.

dont get what you mean...sorry

what do you mean with relays wont latch?

Fans run only, should have got the code, my mistake sorry

no problem

I personally dont know what all the worry is about this 1.3v max on a QX is. I think thats a pile of BUNK! I've been running my QX9650 at 1.45+ for months and it still cooks right along. I have no scientific proof of course, just practicle exp......shrug

well... if your cpu can run it that doesnt mean all can... but yeah... i have only heard of one cpu that died... and it was an ES cpu...and it was supposedly vtt, but how can you know for sure? and even if vtt killed it, it was ES so it doesnt necessarily apply to retail chips... and even then, some batches might be more sensitive and some less, like some 45nm batches were really sensitive to vcore even if you kept them cool, while the new batches can run high vcore even when they get hot, and still they dont die or degrade...

and all the other cpus that supposedly died from vtt... i heard of it but thats not from ocers but some system builder wasnt it? so on one system config several cpus died... again, even if you could be sure it was vtt, it could be a board issue or psu issue or cpu batch issue or whatnot... the fact that barely any ocer has reported a dead cpu after using high vtt is proof enough for me to think YES you can probabaly kill a cpu with high vtt, but 1.4v and 1.5v should be fine, and for benching maybe even more...

then again, if you want to be really sure, i guess its best to keep vtt low, but 1.4v should be safe even for 24/7 with any cpu

thanks a lot for posting your settings btw!
