Hi can anyone tell me how far they managed to overclock with cool n quite.
I managed 3.6 but it dosent seem to like you adjusting anything else,like the nb. Can some one tell me if they have had better success and how? it would me nice to have power saving with overclocking or am i asking to much.
Also is the latest bios any good can it help me adjust the nb with cool n quite.
Thanks

running 208x18.5 with c´n´q enabled at the moment. nb speed is 208x13.
this is 90minutes occt stable.
i know of some people on the german hardwareluxx forum that can´t run their nb higher than 2.6ghz when c´n´q is enabled. but i really don´t know where the problem is. for me it just works.

MadDias can you let me know what your settings are and voltages, i can't get my nb over 2200 with cool n quite enabled. Thanks

c´n´q enabled
fsb 208
acc auto
nb 13x
cpu vcore 1.480V
nb-cpu vcore 1.3V
DDR voltage 1.9V (old reapers need alot of juice)
spread spectrum disabled

all voltages are offset from the original VID.
some may say adjusting voltage from VID would be more stable, but for me it isn´t. leaving the cpu and cpu-nb vid on auto and just adding voltage by offset works best for me.
i don´t know if this helps u.

O.k. tried those settings still no go. When i saw your acc was auto i was hoping that was it but that didn't help either. My nb still won't run stable with it set above 2200.
I guess i will have to give up on overclocking with cool n quite.
Thanks for your great help, Do you know if the german forum had any theory’s about the problem.

the only theory they came up with was, that it isn´t possible to run the nb higher than 2.6ghz when c´n´q is enabled. i had a hard time convincing them that it is in fact possible.
i really don´t know what´s holding u back when c´n´q is enabled. maybe it´s really that some cpus don´t like high nb when c´n´q is enabled.
is urs just not stable, or can´t u get into windows (get a bsod while loading windows) at all with a nb higher than 2.2ghz?
that´s a problem i had with my m3a79-t. it would always bsod during loading windows when the nb was higher than 2.6ghz. on the gd70 this problem is non existant for me.

Above 2200 it would either bsod or just freeze while loading windows.
