920 overclock

[Dodger1]

I think I might have nailed overclocking my 920. The temps look well in line, the spread between the CPU voltage and the DRAM bus voltage is .336 and everything appears to be stable. I'll run Prime95 overnight and see if I encounter any problems, hopefully not but one never knows; at least in my case.

its not the spread between dram voltage and cpu voltage that has to be kept to 0.5v or less. its between the dram voltage and vtt voltage.

 

[Dodger1]

You're right and that spread is at .25v

and if you want a true test run prime on the in place large ftts to genereate maximum heat.

My results were obtained by running that exact test in prime95.

Actually, Intel Burn Test or Linx will do just that - generate maximum heat

I am pretty sure the spread is .5v. Where did you see .25?

 

[Dodger1]

That's the recommended maximum spread but I manually set the spread between the two at .25v; just to be on the safe side of the equation and it's working fine.

did you turn off hyperthreading? what cooler are you using those temps are pretty damn awesome!

HT was the first thing to disabled and the cooler is a cooler master v10
