Try 1.25 vcore.
- Thread Starter
- #25
Ok, I'm nervous about doing this so beer with me OK? So I set the setting in bios vtt something which is currently 1.211 to1.25 or somthing right? I did that and booted up and cpu-z reported my vcore as 1.21 so I immediately changed it back as I was afraid I changed something. And there is a setting enabled in bios called cpu drooping (or might be voltage drooping don't have a great memory but this was all in the cpu power settings) what does it do? Makes me think it only gives the cpu more voltage if it needs it?

i dont think that is, but maybe it is. try looking for something called cpu voltage, or vcore or something like that.

At the bottom it says vcore but it's not an option thats selectable so I guess it's just a monitoring thing. I have to go do my laundry and some other chores so I'll probably be back in half an hour hopefully.

Those temps are actually pretty good. Just stay 25 - 30c away from tjmax and you'll be fine. DON'T put more thermal paste on though, whatever you do. Any more would most likely raise the temps by insulating the CPU. If you can't get to 3.6Ghz, it's most likely you're NB running too hot, or your RAM running to fast. For example, I can't get above 3.82Ghz at the moment because my NB runs too hot when I start raising my vCore above 1.3v (I'll have to get a separate fan and strap it to the NB). Run the initial stability test for at least 8 hours (over night is easiest). Most people say 24 hours, but that's too long for me because I need my frickin PC!!

vdrop is the difference between settings in bios and actual, whilst vdroop is from idle to load, as the voltage should drop depending on motherboard. Loadline calibrations in BIOS stops vdroop but it isn't needed most of the time.

Those are max temps for Tcase, not Tjunction. Tjunction is what's being reported by programs like RealTemp.
I've heard that there can be as much as a 10-15*C difference b/n Tcase and Tjunction. I've also read the RealTemp thread and the author seems to think there is near 0 difference b/n Tcase and Tjunction when running w/o a HS.

The stuff at the bottom (CPU core and below) are not settings just there to monitor from what I can tell as I can't select them. The manual is http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/Manual/dk x38 x48 english 13.pdf
There's a lot more info about the bios there. And that is NOT mine it's the picture that was in the manual.

Ok, new problem, now CPU-Z is only reporting my clock at 2.1 ghz and it's saying my clock is 6 when it's 9. Windows and SpeedFan see it as the correct clock though. Also ever since I started overclocking I have issues with Crysis, whenever I launch my computer lags to hell and takes me a couple minutes just to alt tab or get to ctrl alt del. I tried setting my cpu back to default clocks but that still didn't help. Is this the cpus fault?

Most likely speedstep or C1E is the issue here. Try disabling those in the bios.
