quick q..why are some of the tests faster than the others?

You mean why do some cores finish the work before others?

Wile E · Apr 13, 2008

If so, it's because some of the cores are gonna use a few cycles on the OS, or any other programs you have running.

ah thx...yeah the tests...work thread 1-4 are at different speeds...

Azazel · Apr 13, 2008

work thread 3 just stopped working

Wile E · Apr 13, 2008

Try bumping the NB volts up one more notch.

the nb is on auto..what should it be about..

Wile E · Apr 13, 2008

Try 1.6V, and work from there.

Azazel · Apr 13, 2008

thx kk

DOM · Apr 13, 2008

FSB termination voltage is it still on auto ?

Yeah, at these fsb speeds, you shouldn't have to mess with it on X38.

Azazel · Apr 13, 2008

ok done..im running prime now

Mussels · Apr 13, 2008

nb should be 1.55, and set the PLL about 3 settings below max - try those and see how it goes.

Azazel · Apr 13, 2008

thx will do..prime just failed...i changed the nb..and will see..

....hopefully it will be done this time

1.6 is perfectly safe on X38. It's a very voltage hungry chipset.

Azazel · Apr 13, 2008

1.6 and 1.65 dont work

...any more ideas?

Wile E · Apr 13, 2008

You shouldn't have to raise your pll voltage at this point either. Are your temps too high? What are your temps under Prime95 load using Core Temp?

Azazel · Apr 13, 2008

49-54

Azazel · Apr 13, 2008

its always either 2 or 3 that fail

Wile E · Apr 13, 2008

The only thing I can figure, is try 1.45V vCore.

thats what i have it on at the moment

Azazel · Apr 13, 2008

im gonna go for a couple hours see ya...

Wile E · Apr 13, 2008

Ok, lets try this, maybe Prime95 conflicts with something in your setup. Give OCCT a try instead. http://www.ocbase.com/perestroika_en/index.php?Download

Nice oc.
