Core i7 Overclocking by Batch #

[WeHa]

@WeHa, I don't really think that running LinX with anything less than max available RAM is worth it tbh, you have only used 772MB which is pointless, this won't tell you if your system is stable or not.

Also, which board have you got?

If I set my Vcore to 1.2v in the BIOS it would end up being something like 1.14v in CPUZ, but yours is higher than 1.2v in CPUZ screenshot in your post... I would like to know which board it is, as I always thought mobos suffer from Vdrop, but yours is clearly overvolting..

::edit::

Sorry, should have checked your sig!!! :dumbass:

Do all EVGA mobos overvolt like this?

thanks for the reply bro. i will try to run lnyx @ 6GB memory to find out if it is really stable or not

i am using Foxconn Bloodrage P06 BIOS. maybe the sensor is incorrect or something wrong about the voltage sensor? anyway i just use "default" vcore to get 1.232v in CPU-Z and 1.2v is shown at the BIOS.

thanks mate. in my experiences, if i had an unstable oc, i couldn't run lynx even 1 loop only, in the other hand if i could pass 5 loops lynx, it would be likely rock stable. but in some uncommon cases, some setup still can't pass 20 loops lnyx while it passes 5 loops

yeah, I get what you mean, usually for me too, but i've seen the case where it isn't so I try to run longer tests with Prime.

My EVGA E758 A1 does that too. IT has vdroop control, so actually if my idle is 1.141, load will be like 1.164

yeah i am going to run Prime95 tonight to ensure the stability of the oc. thanks a lot for the advice
