hi. i after help on this forum i am now at 4.0 ghz 10hrs prime stable finally. the thing i would like to know is if people here think that my volts are safe for 24/7 use.
vnb - 1.30 ( which is actively cooled by 2x 40mm scythe mini fans.)
fsb term- 1.28
vcore - 1.2750 (temps remain at about 63 deg under load)
cpu pll- 1.54
sb - 1.20
the SB voltage was final setting that gave me stability. it was NOT stable at 1.10volts. no matter what i did. it was the last thing i changed and it worked. i even lowered it again to test my theory and at 1.10 volts it did indeed fail after about 2 hrs or so. went back to 1.20v and was stable. i see that everyone here is running 1.10 for the sb. admittedly i have been running 1.20 sb since i first started overclocking. i took it from someones template back in the beginning and it has stayed ever since.i only saw that everyone here was running 1.10 volts and i thought i should lower it as many said it made no dofference. but in my case it CERTAINLY DID.
is 12.0 volts for the southbridge a safe voltage for 24/7 use?
and is it possible that this voltage of 1.20 has been BURNED IN and that anything lower is now not stable?
if someone experienced could please review my volts above and let me know if these volts are safe for 24/7 use i would be very grateful.
thanks
