Hey guys, its me again lol.
Here is the thing, with my latest stable oc, which is posted few links above, i get some instability issues (only during LINX) and i know why....the vcore drops ALOT, i set 1.387vcore in BIOS and during Linx load, it goes as low as freaking 1.34 :/ what i find even more frustrating is that, im fairly sure my chip is great, why? because even at (vdrop during load) - 1.34vcore/1.4BIOS (@4.150mhz) the Linx test aint drop fail like 12 mins! its quite a good chip. So in order to avoid this big Vdrop, i had to increase the vcore to (huge 1.41), after that @WIN the default vcore is 1.40 and load is 1.36, now i can get the system stable this way but hey, 1.39 is totaly unnececarry for my cpu at idle....it could be stable at 1.35/1.37 during load! not 1.40 idle, is there anyway to work around this??? please help! its really frustrating...after i notice this im sure my chip can go even further, 4.2ghz easy...if i just find way to fix this, even this is a C0, but i guess a good one.
Few more questions,
1. Is this motherboard issue, BIOS issues or what?
2. Does ram, or any other components affect this?
3.Temps maybe? ( i got fantastic cooling, NH D14 + HAF 932, 1.41 vcore @4.1ghz max temp - 20mins LINX - during summer - 74c..
4 Anything other then this?chip degradation lol?
Does the new Z68/P67 have this issues as well?
P.S. LLC is on and also CPU Thermal Monitor is on, not sure if i should turn off this, it kinda scare me...
P.P.S. Both Cpuz and Eeasytune, show same vcore (during load) so its not false reading.
