Acceptable Core 2 Duo Voltage

:(

Nope, unfortunately it restarted my comp after 52 minutes under ORTHOS. Someone from another forum told me that I definately shouldn't need more than 1.4v for 3.0GHz...

I guess I'm gonna have to go from stock by very small FSB bumps such as 5 or 10 and checking for stability for each. That way I'll know more accurately what cpu voltage I need.

BTW, when are you supposed or when do you need to raise FSB or North Bridge voltages?
 
Dan - (Just reading your first post) - That's either a very large VDroop or StepSpeed. Some motherboards have a "pencil mod" to fix this.

Ramodkk - When you notice that raising the CPU voltage does nothing at all.
 
Strange why i cant oc my cpu more than fsb 1333?
I've tried to fsb 1470 and it crash even fsb 1600 it wont boot at all.
The voltage increase only to 1.375 though, should i rise it higher?

Nah, I don't regret it! :)

Dirty, Yeah, I'm at 1.31v right now, which I think is pretty good...

It wasn't worth 1.37v, +0.2v on the RAM and +0.1v on the MCH just for the extra 200MHz...

Don't you think so?

it is kinda strange how a 6 series processor can't reach 3ghz on stock everything but the e4500 can? i guess the only explanation would be the multiplier right?
 
Yeah, it has a really low multi, what's your at, lovely?

Oscar, Yeah, it's a major vDroop, I mean a MAJOR one! lol, it's Ok though as it's all good now ;)

Omar, I'd raise the MCH +0.1v, and back down the CPU voltage a little...

That and some of the stock voltages are just plain overkill. Had my 6550 Undervolted a load and it still worked. Even heard of people undervolting yet still being able to overclock stably
