my 2500 barton (set to run at 3200) requires vcore set at 1.8v in order to run windows. I am wondering what your settings are, have seen many post with a lower vcore. I want it lower for lower temp.

My settings -

vcore - 1.8
vdimm - 2,8
chipset 1.7

memory timings either 11-2-2-2.0 or
6-2-2-2.0
11-2-3-2.0
fsb spectrum - disabled

See my sig for rig info

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
 
it's up to your chip what voltage it needs, not the board
my chip will do 2.2ghz with 1.65 or less volts (1.7v in bios).
just not a good chip :(
 
I guess that my AQXEA 0330 VPWM runs a bit hot then. 1.8 volts is what it needs...

Well you are not the only one...i have to use Vcore at 1.775 in order for my Barton 2500+ to work as 3200+. Some chips it seems requires alot of Vcore and others don't.
 
mine runs 3200 with no increase :)
Does anyone know anything about the steppings of the bartons?
DoM
 
Mine does 11x200 with 1.7v setting in BIOS, which is 1.66v in EQ.
The standard voltage for Bartons is 1.65 so it's close to stock voltage.

itshondo,
check your VCore in a monitoring program to see if it stable... maybe your problem is the mobo rather than the CPU itself.
See what voltage you are getting at each mobo setting, and how steady they are.
I've heard putting heat sinks on the 6 MOSFETs around the CPU socket can stabilise the VCore
