Just got the rig in my sig finally hooked up and working properly today.
One thing concerns me though.
Looking at the MSI CoreCenter software my voltage readings are kinda high.
3.3V shows at 3.42v
5V shows at 5.51v
12V shows at 12.7V
Also my vcore shows 1.4v when I have it set at...
OK after changing my mind 800000 times trying to figure what kind of motherboard i want, ive got it down to two models.
MSI K8N Diamond Plus
DFI LP UT-DR Expert
Yes I know the Expert would be better for OC'ing, and the Diamond has 2x16 PCI-E, i want to hear any arguements why I should NOT...
Needing something to replace my sigged mobo. Looking for a socket 939 board, good for overclocking, but without SLI. I was gonna go all out on a DFI expert, but i seriously doubt I will ever buy more than one vid card, so looking to save a little on a non-sli board. Any suggestions?
So far...
So this may just be me being paranoid. But I thought it might warrant a post.
Currently I have my voltage set at 1.4v for the cpu in bios.
When I open CPU-Z the voltage display there constantly fluctuates between 1.36 and 1.44v.
One, can this much variation cause stability issues? Two...
ok so i've been trying to find the HTT max for this motherboard, and i've flashed the ocwbeta2 bios which supposedly opens up the 275-400 HTT range for use.
My CPU runs 100% stable @ 10x270 w/ 2:3 mem divisor underclocking the ram to 180.
HTT multi is at 3x this whole time.
so I...
Ok so I'm pretty much in love with this processor.
I hit the HTT wall on this board at 274x10. I really need better ram to run a higher divisor, ram at 183 right now = kinda slow. This is still on the retail heatsink and stock voltage.
I really wanna try the OCWbeta1 bios, but I have no...
Hey guys, I just replaced my aging K7D w/ 2xAXP2400+'s with a 939Dual and an Opty 170 as in my sig. Running at 10x260, w/ the memory on a 5:6 divider at 216mhz im getting Sandra memory scores of around 5000MB/s. Honestly I'm not sure if this is where it should be, but some reviews around the...
Hey guys, had a few questions I know someone can answer.
Just got my new Opteron 170 installed in a Asrock 939Dual motherboard.
Just using the stock heatpipe cooler w/ some AS5 for now.
Currently its sitting at 2.6Ghz @ 1.4v, temps are 42C at idle, havent done any stress testing yet...
