As far as I know there is no nb temp sensor on these boards, just one close to the sb.

with thease sort of overclocks what temp is the northbrige getting are you all watercooling it.
Mine is hitting near 60c but i dont think everest is picking it up right sine its not hot to touch

Hoss331 is exactly right.
Rubber try touching the south bridge heatsink whe everest shows 60c.i bet it will be very warm
my new UD3R rev 1.1 SB H/S is very hot compared to my UD3P

I have touched the south brige heat sink but its really cool so it cant be oveheating since the northbrige only gets warm im happy about that now thanks

do you see any difference in your games when you overclock your cpu becuse i dont is there any reason that is happining

well i dont game so i cant speak to that,but i would think that OCing the GPU
is what might gain you more FPS.but then again i really dont know,sorry.

well after some rearranging i got it to prime for over an hour
im going to try and lower the vcore some more and see what i get.
very very happy with this new cpu

What is your CPU reference? Cause mine is at stock which would be .760 if the VTT was at stock 1.2, and I need 1.328 vcore at that same speed (4.250ghz) to make it stable. Does increasing the CPU reference really help lower the vcore, cause I haven't tried increasing it.

well i dont know about F9 but i do know that when running 2x2GB kits its sometimes can be hard to do but now impossible./QUOTE]

Thanks radaja, I have 2x1GB kit. I think I'll go back to F6 and give it a whirl. I really want that 500 FSB as the memory scores are so much better.

bluestang,yep memory scores are much better indeed.i wish i had a set of d9's right now so i could test out my new board at 2.40B ddr1200.
my first one did great at that setting but my replacement for the first not so good.so i am curious as to how this UD3R will do.

Dark-Energy,for these runs my cpu ref is set to normal which sets it to 0.76
mch is at 0.70 at 1.20vtt and my vtt is at 1.26.as to helping to lower vcore it can by a notch or two.
but i think it mostly comes down to how good your cpu is.my 1.25vid cpu needed 1.34-1.36v for 4250
but my lower vids needed 1.24- 1.28v.

well it seems that 8.5x500@4250 w/1.28vcore works just fine



and 8.5x506@4300 w/1.28



and 8.5x512@4352 w/1.28v



gonna try for 4400 w/1.28v
