Enabling Turbo Core on asus M4A78T-E

um, am i the only one to notice hes pushing nearly 1.5 volts into that x6? @ 3300mhz?


that is very excessive and likely to cause overheating without some decent cooling.
 
haah uhh...shit is that a little much or something?

good call i didn't even notice that hey is your voltage for the cpu vcore on auto? if it is set it to 1.4v thats more than enough for that clockspeed.
 
oh yah i think it was on auto. alright ill do that. lol i put the cpu freq back down to 200 as soon as i saw that post. Thanks Slyfox! Question: How are you pushing 4ghz with stock cooling?
 
Can i do all of this through K10stat instead of rebooting and going through BIOS?
 
Ok sounds good thanks
 
Mine runs at 1.47 when set to auto. Its the Asus bios. Anything less and he may become unstable. Ill be honest. These boards suck when you run a 6 core.

mine was ok and he has the M4A78T-E which is a better board than the M4A78-E that you have i have both boards and its not a comparison
 
The only difference is one is DDR2 and one is DDR3.

the behave completely differently i own both boards (they are in a different state but still) one is currently running a 965BE 140w and the other a 910 C2 125w and the M4A78T-E clocks better in all aspects. the DDR2 board you have did not and the BIOS was not setup the same.
 
mine is the M4A78T-E as well?. So heres the new specs. Does that look decent? not in a dangerzone?

And nether of those are a x6 core. Six-core support for both of these boards was an after thought.

You were never in danger before.
 
oh lol

looks jsut fine doe sit do any better in your game?

as it was on my CH3 that board also hit 4.58ghz on my thuban close to the same clock i pulled off on the T-E and not the -E which was 200mhz slower. just because my 24/7 chip is not a thuban doesn't mean i didn't check ALL of the motherboards with the chip hell i booted it up in my CH2 which is older than both of those boards and an nvidia chipset. that being said with primitive BIOS support it ALSO outclocked the -E

cdawall is correct. Under normal circumstances that voltage would be high. But not dangerous in anyway.

The BIOs in your board is wonky. As is mine. Six core was an after thought. You would be much better off upgrading your board if you plan on OCing. If you run stock then this board will treat you fine.

I'm not talking about overclocking here. I'm talking about him being stable. The 1055 and 1090 are different animals when it comes to voltage. They need more juice on these boards.

If he leaves it on auto in the bios you will see it fluctuate between 1.30 and 1.47v. It needs the 1.47 for when it goes into turbo. Under normal circumstances I would agree with you. 1.47 is to high. But not with these chips and not with these boards. Thats why I suggest he leaves in on auto.

Ahh i see. So i should just run the cpu at stock speed, and if i plan on overclocking then upgrade to a better board?

I'll give it a whirl cdawall, i gave bf2 a try when i first did the clock and it did seem like it was more smooth. i'll give it another try and will keep you posted! :rockout:

Yes. If you wanna make that 1055 scream you are going to need a new board. I would wait for the 990 chipset if I were you.

turn off turbo and it will stop jumping

for 3.2ghz you don't need a new board it will still work fine

it will lead to stability issues with the stupid turbo core crap off the board works great :slap:

Mine works fine. Been working fine since the 1090 hit the shelves.

3.2ghz is overclocked? and i would be willing to bet that chip could hit 3.5ghz stable
Click to expand...

No. But I thought he wanted to OC.
 
haha yeah i disabled the turbocore, as i read a while back that if ur gonna overclock then turn it off. And i put the voltage to 1.4 like cdawall said and now its jumping between 1.419 and 1.425 so its little jumps.

See I told you he wanted to OC.

yea i bet it does your also on a H50 and he is on a stock cooler you are on a 1090T he is on a 1055T.
