what are your fsb and mch voltages at?

Cowspoo · Feb 7, 2008

Refer to the image.... FSB 380, MCH volts? ... cpu is at 1.42 everything else auto

PaulieG · Feb 7, 2008

How much vdroop are you getting under load? Your vcore may not be high enough if it's significant.

wow, i saw the image, that's why i asked the damn question.

go into bios and put your fsb VOLTAGE higher, VMch is north bridge voltage. raise that as well. a g0 shouldn't need that much vcore to hit 3.4...

Cowspoo · Feb 7, 2008

Hmm how could i tell that when its under load? Is it possible using CPUZ?

JrRacinFan · Feb 7, 2008

What's your memory voltage set for?

EDIT: Run 4 instances of Orthos at the same time. You should then be at full load.

Cowspoo · Feb 7, 2008

ahha. i'm sorry random murderer. didn't mean to sound rude. so far i have all the volts at auto except ram which is at like 1.9

didn't your board come with software called pc probe? that will tell you your voltages.

hey, no problem, we've just had a bunch of assholish noobs lately.
as far as your q6600 g0 clocking, the p5k should do it fine, it just has a few quirks.

Cowspoo · Feb 7, 2008

yeah, the Q6600 bios has much more options than my E6400 did.. I got that up to 3.2Mhz from stock 2.13

(stable). what's a normal V for this CPU to be at to reach at least 3.6mhz?

sneekypeet · Feb 7, 2008

Id get a second opinion on that 12V line ...Pc probe should answer anything we throw at ya.

what? a cpu doesn't have a bios, the board has that....

Cowspoo · Feb 7, 2008

haha

true story. i'm very impressed with this forum responsiveness though. I could get ontop of my game fast

others have reached 3.6GHz at 1.188 vcore :eek:

that's most likely a cherry-picked chip though, expect yours to get 3.6 at around 1.25 to 1.3 after you figure out what's holding you back.

niko084 · Feb 7, 2008

Do you have thermal, c1e or speed step enabled?

Test the ram and the processor separately and see which one is failing.

sneekypeet · Feb 7, 2008

can you load orthos and get us the voltage values while it is runnin?

Cowspoo · Feb 7, 2008

yeah it's only at 3.0ghz right now. tm, c1e and speed step are both disabled

sure let me bring it back to 3.4 give me a min please

orthos doesn't support quads, he needs the newest prime95.
after you get p95, go to advanced and enable "round off checking" so it will alert you to errors.

francis511 · Feb 7, 2008

Funny ,mine`s exactly the same. Gets unstable past 375 fsb on two different boards. Currently at 1.43 to achieve that . That`s with significant vdroop 1.43 = 1.4-1.42 actual

niko084 · Feb 7, 2008

Lowest 3.6 I know of personally on a Q6600 was at 1.45 I think.

that's not bad vdroop at all. i lose .05 in my droop...

Cowspoo · Feb 7, 2008

sneekypeet requested this. this is with c1e tm and speedstep DISABLED. fsb 380 ram 5-5-5-15 everything else auto. BTW i can get into windows at 4.0Ghz... (450x9) but orthos fails after like 3 seconds

niko084 · Feb 7, 2008

um... There is your problem.... 1.39 volts... You need to get that up around 1.45 at least.
