I think I got a good processor.

Its at 3.1 stock vcore. All volts are at stock, cept my mem, had to manually set it to 2.2.

nope e6400's usually do 3.2 and e6600's usually do 3.6. If you get your e6600 to 3.7 I'll be impressed :)

yeah i've seen a thread at xtreme with people talking about running 3.2 with e6600s and undervolting below factory set vid's
 
my e6400 is at 3.2ghz @ 1.248V orthos load, orthos stable 12 hours, haven't tested longer than that.
 
I'm at 3.3 now, stock vcore. I'm taking it slow since I haven't had any intel stuff in a while. runniny prime95 now. 34C idle, 43 load
 
Up to 3.5 I set the vcore to auto and it bumped it to 1.4 :eek: but, I think i have a few more mhz to go. I might hit 3.7!
gonna test stability

anyone else concerned with his reported voltage on the 12v line???

I'm not really familiar with the evga 680i but I'm sure it's just a misreading. I've never had a computer stay up and running below around 10.9 volts for old pentium 2 era computers and around 11.1v for pentium 4+. I haven't tested a whole slurry though so I can't say that there might be computers that can indeed go below.

I see what you mean though. 10.something sounds more believeable than the 3volts I'm seeing on my 12v line ;)

any other programs to check this? Should I check the bios?

Edit: Speedfan reports it at 11.67

Acceptable, but could be better. What PSU are you using?
 
If I remember correctly that PSU has adjustable rails. Try boosting the 12v a bit if you can.
 
do not touch the rails before you get your hands on a mutlimeter ..

get a proper reading of a multimeter first .. motherboards are known to give faulty readings ...
 
now that I am done playing, I am going to properly overclock, i.e. test max fsb, cpu, quad pumped thing, etc...

its funny cause u didnt post pics in windows, prob cause u cant boot up ;)

lol it's not like the bios values are correct either ;)
 
No, its in the bios. Where would I stick a voltmeter at? I have one, but I'm not sure what pin it is and how exactly to do it.

Well, I think I have hit a wall. I can only get my qdr up to 1525 before it bsod in windows. anything higher and it won't boot. mem is Crucial 1000. I can only get it to 1025 at 2.3v it hardlocks in the bios above that. any ideas.

I have it at qdr 1500, cpu 3375 @ 1.31v, mem at 1000, stock v. all the other volts are on auto. anyone have some experiance with this particular combo?

YOU SIR ARE RIGHT!!

YOU WIN A COOKIE!!! :p

yeah it was a bios problem that i fixed later, i just had to take the pics.

No f-in way dude. EDIT; at stock voltage, no F-in way.

My 6600's vcore is at 1.45 to get completely stable at 3.6. Would not go above 3 at 1.35v. Maybe I got a crappy chip? its L626.
 
My 12v reports funny to... :rolleyes:



I might not be far off, I'm using a 3yr old enermax 550w PSU which refuses to be replaced, powering my conroe and 8800GTX.

dang 3.6 on air? is 52C your idle temps? and your voltage is 1.214v? what is your load voltage? did you try running 2 instances of prime95 or running sp2004 orthos?

No, voltage is set at a high 1.55 in bios, minus a little Vdroop. I don't want to go any higher than that on air. CPU-Z is wacky with voltage reporting.

52c should be the idle temp in that pic, although I had just stopped the torture test so the cpu might not have fully cooled down.

No, i did not think to run two instances of prime. I will definately do that tonight; I might have to back it down a little more if that's the case.

470 is my max synched mem:FSB speed, so my lofty goal was 470@3700.
Unfortunately at this speed it will pass dual-superPI but it will not pass prime.

ah i see. yeah there's a bug in CPU-z when you go past 1.5V i think. i idle at 35C-43C depending on ambient, load 47C-58C, at 3.2ghz and 1.248V, so I think i have a bit more room. Nice to see 3.6ghz is possible! I'm not sure I wanna pump that many volts into it though.
 
Does the 680i have a hole in the high 300's like the 965's? Can you try lowering the multi and raising fsb directly to 400?

CPU-z has never reported my voltage anywhere near correctly, no matter what I have it set at. I just go by what I have it set in bios.

There are FSB holes as mentioned by the above poster. Almost all evga 680i owners can hit at least 430mhz with memory synched to FSB. Make sure your running the P22 or later bios however, my fsb was aweful prior to that.

What is your voltage set at in bios?

I hit a hole from 375 to 400. Would post + boot, but not stable.

401 worked. I think the p21 bios fixed it... because im stable now at 400 exactly. Vcore is 1.45 at 3.6 ghz... i thought that was pretty good.

But someone said 3.6 is attainable on stock vcore? you gotta be kidding me.
 
Right now, i'm at qdr of 375. If i set it to 380, it hard locks. My mem is funny. It is Crucial ddr2 1000. Problem is, i cant set it past 1025, other wise it locks in the bios. That is at 2.3v Any ideas for the mem, or getting the qdr past 1525?
