Wow very nice!

You got guts, When I booted into windows at 500 FSB and looked at easytune and saw what the voltages they set me at I was too uncomfortable to keep using auto. Those are some very nice clocks though! Maybe I will have a few shots later tonight and then go for it LOL

BoldEagle · 10-22-2008, 03:38 PM

Awesome effort there. Watch those auto volts they can crank it up as you can see the CPU VID:1.25 but CPU-z shows 1.408v. Have a look in EasyTune6 to what the rest of the volts are doing. Manual control is a bit better so you now where everything is.

PcCI2iminal · 10-22-2008, 04:01 PM

here guys

voltage @ auto

well ,the voltages are not bad for XS ^^

Mumid · 10-22-2008, 04:07 PM

Hope your not planning on using those volts 24/7 lol!

Iv'e been using 1.85v PLL on 65nm for many months without issue..but 45nm...nice clocks anyway!

hehehehe

440 x 10 @ 1,27v is enough for me ^^

thx man

well ,PLL @ 1,61 is enough for 620fsb

but i need to set the CPU termination higher than 1,5v

(still auto)

dinos22 · 10-22-2008, 04:30 PM

sweeeeeeeet man

increase your vMCH as well
should give you more FSB

NBF · 10-22-2008, 04:34 PM

That's great PcCI2iminal!

With a bit of tweaking you may go even higher

GAR · 10-22-2008, 08:45 PM

you got any good settings for a quad around 475-500fsb??? Not too many people around here with quads and this board

BoldEagle · 10-22-2008, 08:47 PM

Curious as to your:

CPU Clock Skew (ps).......................: ps
MCH Clock Skew (ps).......................: ps

You can get a BIOS template for the EP45T, it may have most of your options (if not all) and may help, post 16:

Excellent effort there.

Viper, can you post your voltages? thanks

Yes your settings would be iteresting you could use that BIOS template link I posted.

Richard Dower · 10-23-2008, 06:39 PM

I must point out that setting the bios options to "Auto" in bios does NOT set the voltages to standard settings, Auto will INCREASE the voltages...sometimes by a very large margin and dangerous levels. MCH and CPU PLL voltages WILL be raised, this can be tested and verified by Everest and other programs. The only way to ensure standard/default voltages is to set ALL voltages options to "Normal" or set items manually. I'm an EP45-DQ6 user with F12 bios and this board uses very similiar bios.

So what is "dangerous levels" 4 a 45nm quad and only benchies

Vcore
vMCH
?

i agree ,never use auto when you are going to overclocking the system, not for 24/7.
anyway mine needs some serious voltage to ran 600+

air
vcore -> 1,55v
vMCH -> 1,7v+

you can go much higher ,depends on cooling ^^

PcCI2iminal · 10-24-2008, 02:48 AM

well ,the board is dead ,I figure something fried and one of the mosfet is toast.
All i know is that when I was runnin the prime95 at 4500MHz(10x450) @ 1,35v (PLL,vMCH,Termination @ minimum)and the systems crashed ,not booting after shutdown .
the E8600 is dead also .....
pics later
