lamcrae Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I'm running an i7-930 @ 4.2 GHz with vcore of 1.30, so 3.8 @ 1.28 should be about right, and could probably go to 1.27 or even 1.26... Have you confirmed that your RAM is stable at this overclock (use Memtest86)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo32 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 thanks for that mate im not to sure if the ram is stable but ill run a couple of test cheers mate, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo32 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 hi there i just checked the v/core volts it is 1.29v i thought it was less,question is that to much volts for 3.7 gigs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shape of grey Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 hi there i just checked the v/core volts it is 1.29v i thought it was less,question is that to much volts for 3.7 gigs? Easy solution to your question. If its rock solid at the current voltage, bump your vCore down is small increments (.025v or so at a time) and see it if boots. If it does, run a stress test using P95 or LinX or OCCT. If that's stable chances are you're good to go. Keep doing that until the overclock fails (becomes unstable), then bump it up one (two if needed) notch and test again. At least, that's how I usually go about OCing, give it lots of juice, set the speed at what I think it can do and work backwards to a sensible voltage. Just take your time and be patient.

timmo32 Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 thanks for your helpfull advice it seems stable so far at the setting ,one more question ,because im new to the overclocking world,in the v/core section it displays the volt setting ,next to that figure its saying auto,is that right?for most of the settings arround that area it saying auto,well just wanted to know about why its saying auto next to the v/core cpu voltage and if thats incorrect wat would you think it should be selected too cheers.
