Hey guys how are you? It's been a while since I've been on this forum. I bought an e6600 a couple of years back and you guys really helped me get the best I could out of it (1.2 ghz oc and stably too) not bad for an amateur.
I just bought an e8400 and an Asus P5k SE v1 board. So far its been good. I can get 8.5 X450 on 1.38 running for 5 mins on prime with low temsp and I'm still going up to see how far I can push the chip.
However I have a few issues
1) there are two settings in my OC config that I can't figure out what exactly they are. I used to run a gigabyte-p965-ds3 which had very clear labels but this Asus board is kinda wonky. The two settings that I am rather clueless as to exactly what they are:
a)cpu gtl voltage reference (which has 4 settings that such as x63, x51, etc)
b) clock overcharging voltage (which has settings of .7 to 1.0 in .1 intervals)
Can anyone explain exactly what they are?
2) When I check pc properties on windows vista the ghz frequency is always wrong. Cpu z reads fine however
Please help if you can. These aren't major problems but like Bacon said knowledge is power right?
