Hi all!
Just joined the site and I'm hoping you all can clue me in a bit better to where to go from my current situation. I read the sticky for this section and tried to perform the isolation max tests. My problem is, I can't bump the FSB clock with out having to nudge both the Vcore AND the DDR2 ram voltage.
System: Gigabyte M59SLI-S5
AM2 64 3800+ X2 (Windsor)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro
4GB OCZ Plat DDR2
750W Thermaltake PSU
here is the CPU-Z for the last stable settings with everything stock except the voltages and the FSB freq. Obviously, just playing around a bit with the settings. Edit: Stock temps only hit 32C under load, with the setup you see in CPU-Z still only hitting 36C max.
Whats the deal with voltage, specifically vcore and ram voltage? As I said above, it seams I cant bump the FSB freqs without bumping both the VCORE and mem voltages on my setup. I personally don't like the idea of going to high in the voltages on either, obviously more clock + more volts = more heat.
Whats been the experience on this board with voltages on a Windsor 3800? What about ram? I dont like the idea of having to boost ram voltage too much either. If this is normal, then please say so, and excuse my inexperience.
Thanks in advance!
