I'm thoroughly happy with my chip! =o)

What is your CPU's stepping?

[NCspecV81]

phase?

Yeah

What is your CPU's stepping?

I have on idea. I installed it before I even looked, and I would have to unmount it to check. I may do that here in a bit.

K, another 5 run Intelburntest completed;

3.6Ghz CPU, 1.8Ghz NB/HTT, DDR800
Vcore +0.075, '1D' Vnb and 2.16Vdimm.

FYI, Im only throwing the multi up by 1 step (2 if you count the half multi's too) and if it BSOD's I just add 0.025V untill it's stable. So maybe I could run 3.75Ghz with this Vcore, maybe 3.605Ghz, I dont know yet

Ive no Word installed yet, so could anyone tell me if this result looks good so far? Also, to be sure, 5 runs of Intelburntest are pretty reliable right? Not for 24/7 but to build on for higher OC's?

Im a bit of afraid for Prime95 after the last fiasco so want to stress as efficient as possible

Ok two things.... I got AOD to work (In Windows 7) and When I upped the vcore the VID changed in CoreTemp, of course it matches what AOD says VID is (NCspecV81).

[BertM]

are these spikes inaccuracies of the program becuase its in high priority or is my psu seriously faulting ?
(nb was 2210 mhz)

[Rammsteiner]

@ Bert, I dont know. If there's another program to log Voltages I'd certainly try that to see if they match. But better do it ASAP because 1.9V spikes on a 45nm CPU... This might not have a direct effect but it might most likely have a huge impact on its lifetime.

Little update from my side, I tried running 3.7Ghz with same settings but BSOD, then I tried 3.8Ghz with +0.1V and it BSOD'd as well.

Since it's like bed time now I did a quick run on my previous 3.6Ghz stable OC but this time with HTT @ 300Mhz. I was seriously surprised to see it booting without any up and it completely Intelburntest 5 runs without issues as well.

Im seriously in love now I think my 24/7 goal will be 12.5x300 (3.75Ghz), 2.4Ghz NB and DDR1200. I hope I can make it happen but now I noticed the long forgotten freedom of HTT and multi's I can always find a way around it if it doesnt work as planned But thus far Im more than happy

PS, does a high HTT put a huge strain on any parts btw? Im still scared less that something might blow up Guess in the end it wont have much of an effect on the MOSFETs, does it have on the NB or the SB?

[Oldguy932]

High htt doesn't strain on anything to my knowledge. I prefer to do most of my clocking with htt so I don't do huge increments.

Side note for my current testing, 4080 cpu and 3060 nb. I almost have all my memory speeds over 10k mb/s according to everest and my memory is only at 1020mhz. I think it got all my L3 speeds above 10k mb/s though, latency was only at 4.9 since the core isn't as fast as when I tested before. Temp sensor also isn't frozen anymore thankfully, just a reboot and it was fine.

[Rammsteiner]

Hmmm, seems like past 3.6Ghz my clock/Voltage scaling is getting a bit off

3.6Ghz with +0.075V is stable (I guess, did 5 run Intelburntest). 3.65Ghz with +0.075V BSOD's, 3.75Ghz +0.125 restarted Im unsure how I could go thus far.

So at this point Im sitting back, and testing RAM. Really retared, my RAM wont do DDR1200 But it's stable at 1160 for now Always happens to me

Maybe Ill test the CPU later on even more with more Vcore but Im not trying to add too much Voltage so Ive a better control over the temps. In the end it's winter now, I dont want to throw everything around again in the summer because of ambient rise
