wPrime, I never knew this thing uses all of the cores at 100%

Temps before would go into the 70's or 80's under full load, now:

Nice CP. You should grab the latest beta of Realtemp. Probably reads better and has a better layout.

Thanks dude, i'll go ahead and hunt for it now, ill let you know how it is

 

[Fitseries3]

when you took it apart did you notice the odd lack of an oring?

I have it, check the first post in the discussion thread, toward the bottom. That usually has the most up to date beta I think.

 

[Chicken Patty]

Can you guys explain to me what these voltages are please, also which one is my qpi/dram voltage???


What I think I know so far:

CPU vcore I know

CPU VTT????
CPU PLL????
DIMM voltage i know
DIMM DQ vref????
QPI PLL voltage???? memory controller voltage??
IOH vcore NB voltage????
IOH/ICH ????
ICH vcore - SB voltage??

I'd love to watercool my Core i7 (next month) but can't find the 1366 kit for Swiftech Apogee GTZ.

 

[Chicken Patty]

anybody wanna help me out with post # 858???? please

 

[Fitseries3]

set vdimm to 1.65v or higher depending on your memclk

everything else auto(except vcore)

CPU VTT = Memory controller voltage in the CPU. You got the rest right. And other things I'm not sure.

I have it at 1.6v, but when i overclock I think you said this, but my dram drops to about 1.39v. Don't think thats good right?

evga x58 has some SERIOUS problems. you need to read about it on evga forums.

ok quickly just looking over the EVGA forums, i found a little overclocking guide for my board and I came to notice I had some power saving features on, woops!!!

voltage issue fixed, I can now go over 1.30v on the CPU. DOn't know why, but once I disabled it, here I am 3.5 GHz 1.329v.
