I think I have a problem and believe I am learning what vdroop is now.
When I OC my CPU to 3.6ghz (from 3.2 @ 1.35v) I have to boost the voltage all the way to 1.6125 (in the bios) and I get a reading of 1.592/1.584 in CPUz when I am idling. I had to go this high to get it completely Orthos stable and my temperature is about 19-20c to tjunction (65-66c roughly at 100% load for 30 minutes -- about 58-60c 100% load gaming or using other programs besides orthos). When I turn on Orthos my Voltage drops all the way to 1.552v while it's loading, this is what Vdroop is? I could have hit my stability mark a long time ago if this didn't happen. :bang head
I like 3.6ghz but with this much voltage it just makes sense for me to stay at 3.2ghz with 1.35v (29c idle and 38-40c load). Any ideas or is there really anything I can do about this?
