I need help OCing this baby currently i'm at 3.6ghz with volts at 1.32 but it won't go over 3.6ghz even if i put in bios 1.4volts. I'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong but can someone of you guys clarify few things...?
1. i'm currently on fsb 450 and my clock is exactly 3.6ghz and ran on maximum Intel Burn test and didn't crash and survived the test. Increasing FSB also increases memory clock so i have to change the value on memory and there are 4 types like 200fsb 266fsb 333fsb and 400fsb (i don't know exactly what those values mean nor if one of them can be the cause of instability while moving beyond 3.6ghz)
2. Another thing I don't quite get is when i set for example 1.35v on cpu when i'm in windows it says 1.31 and when stress testing it goes like 1.28 (yes i know it's called vdrop or something like that but can you clarify on to exactly how does it work... CPU safe voltage for this processor is 1.4 and when i set in bios 1.4 it goes like 1.38. Should i set in bios to like 1.42 to get it on 1.4 with vdroop? Don't know exactly how this system works and i'm learning )
