Hey all,
Trying to get my new build 100% stable. (So close!) Right now, just working for stock. Passes everything (Memtest86+, OCCT, & SuperPi) *except* Prime95 on all four cores (which always likes to crash on Core 0), so after some reading, I'm trying to manually up vCore in an attempt to help out the weak core. So far, unless it's coincidence, seems to be working...still crashing in Prime95 but after longer periods.
My first attempt (over Auto) was 1.25 volts and I made it right around 8 hours. Upped it again (can't remember the exact number...one step up which was like .0675 higher). Am I doing okay Voltage wise? As I understand it, shouldn't worry too much as far as volts til I'm getting past 1.3...
Also, a bit worried about heat when upping the voltage. Idles around 31C...max temp since raising the voltage so far has been 56C, with the individual cores higher (max 68C, but usually cooler than that). Using Realtemp, though, looks like I'm well over 30 and closer to 40 for Tmax, so am I still okay as long as I keep it >30?
Thanks!
