Anybody know why i cant post unless my vcore is set to 1.75v
Other people seem to be getting between 3.4-3.5 gig with vcore in 1.6's.

Check my sig

Cheers in advance
 
you might be hitting a wall with your processor.

what is the real voltage? 1.75 on an abit board typically reads around 1.68-1.72 depending on the board.
 
On my IC7, 1.75v = 1.68-1.71v.

I wouldn't go too far over 1.7v though- most likely your chip is just maxing out as Maxvla suggested.
 
Its actually reading as 1.73, is that too high. Should i knock a bit of fsb of processor to get it under 1.7v?

Thanks
 
i would keep it at 1.7 or lower... that said... 1.73 is probly pretty safe.
 
If you measure the Vcore with a multimeter you'l see that it reads EXACTLY what you set in the bios !... no ups or downs.

So ... it's 1.75V what you are getting. ;)

...at least this is what is happening on the IC7 series ....

Don't trust any software monitor program
 
Right sorted it now, running at 252 FSB @ 1.6v
Ive actually been able to run my memory in sync with fsb (1:1)
but timings are cas3 4-4-8, got 5800 sisandra memory benchmark.
Need to have more voltage for memory though, only goes up to 2.8v on motherboard, cant get past 255fsb.
Are these good results.

Regards (sig updated)
