Hi guys, Now that some kind soul finally helped me figure out where I was going wrong on over clocking my Q6600 system with 780i mobo, I have been able to squeeze more from my PC. I have not adjusted the stock voltages yet. There are so many voltages, that I don't know which one is the CPU voltage. It is CPU Core? Also, which one is the northbridge? Is this the nForce SPP or the nForce MCP? Is the FSB anything to do with the CPU? Should I adjust this voltage? What about the HT nForce SPP<->MCP. Should I adjust this? Thanks Farore
Note down all the voltage options you have in your BIOS and post them here. We'd be able to you whats what then. Core voltage is labelled as vCore, vCPU, CPUv or CPU Voltage on the BIOS'es I have experience with.
nForce SSP core - 1.400v nForce SSP core - 1.500v FSB - 1.400v HT nForce SPP<->MCP - 1.200v Auxillary - 1.500v CPU core - 1.450v CPU frequency 3,375MHZ CPU multiplier - 9.0X Memory - 2.000v Note: CPU - Z says the multiplier is sex at X8.0 (which is what I set it to in the BIOS) and that Core Speed is 3000MHz. Windows is reporting core speed at 3.38MHz if I right click on My Computer. All the above values were obtained from the Nvidia Control Panel utility.
i can't get my Q6700 stable above 3ghz on a abit AB9 Pro. i'm going to keep a close eye on this one lol.
CPU Core is your core voltage. you've already got that at 1.45v! you have the multiplier on 9x though, which is the reason for the 3.38GHz.
