New rig up and running.

[TheBlueChanell]

I just spent the past hour or so doing some experimenting with my board/cpu. I was trying to find the lowest amount of volts needed for the CPU to successfully boot into windows at a given speed. I figured it would be a good thing to know when and a good starting point when trying to oc/optimize. I wrote it down on a little note card.

The voltages are as set in the bios.

I need at least:

1.455v for 4ghz
1.435v for 3.9ghz
1.365v for 3.8ghz
1.305v for 3.7ghz
1.265v for 3.6ghz
1.225v for 3.5ghz
1.225v for 3.4ghz

The system wouldn't boot with anything less than 1.225v @ stock speed so I stopped there.

I also noticed this gray area when settings voltages, which may or may not of thrown of my test but I am unable to set my voltage in between the ranges of 1.435v-1.405v. I can go higher than 1.435v but not lower and I can go lower than 1.405v but not higher. Anyone know why that is?
