Hey guys...
Something thats always confused me a bit.
Lets use a 2600K for example.
It's been said that the absolute MAX VCore to use under air or water for even just binning the chip or getting a CPU-Z Validation is 1.550V
Is there a particular reason NOT to go higher (obviously for short periods of time and low load, such as a CPU-Z Validation), especially when temps are perfectly fine?
I'm just confused because I thought the reason to limit VCore was temp...
Reason I ask...
I just got this new chip from Joe (EarthDog), and it'll do 55X multi for just long enough to validate, then it BSOD's with a either code 101 or 124. (Both of which indicate a need for more VCore)
Same BSOD error if you attempt to go to 56X Multi...
I'd like to see if the chip has anything more in it, and temps at 1.550 are well within spec at 22-25C with only CPU-Z and the AI Suite II running.
Let me know what you guys think...
