Yes, F10 is the most current one. Although it's over a year old.

Wow... No Idea what is happening. Using the Stock Clock 3.4Ghz at Auto Voltages, my PC also restarted. I'm testing using Crysis 3. I noticed that if I Alt Tab back to Windows when the game is opened, is often an instant restart. I have no clue what might be causing this! It seems it's not...

Just had multiple reboots using my Stable 1.33v 4.4Ghz while playing Left 4 Dead 2 with friends. Don't know what else to do, this Vcore should be high enough for stability... Maybe it's some other voltage that's not good enough? No ideia..

My Gigabyte has 10 levels of LLC. Level 6 is the one that matches the Vcore under load to the one you set on your Bios from what I read. Level 1 is the weakest and 10 the crazy high. Reduced power stages you mean the one that slows the CPU to 1.6Ghz when it's not being used? If so I think...

LLC 4 Vcore at 1.30V in the Bios. It's running Linx Stable so far. What do you think guys, should I go to a higher LLC to try to lower my Vcore, or is this good enough? The thing I don't like is that it's 1.30v during Idle, not good for my PC. I know that LLC 6 would be the maximum safe...

Well thank you for the input! Pretty clear now that fixed Vcore is the only way to achieve true stability! I will experiment with LLC then, the fact that I will be able to drop my Vcore is encoraging. But it's a matter of finding the right balance. About Stress Test, it's good at...

Yes, I'm considering fixed voltages here. What I don't like to use if LLC, first, not too good on your CPU I hear, they send nasty spikes sometime, I don't like that much, second it's tough and time consuming to find the right one that isn't overkill, making the CPU suffer more than it needs to...

Hey guys! I was crazy testing all I could to find out why my PC was restarting during Gaming Sessions. I would be playing, the temperatures OK, and it would suddenly restart. It took me some time to get that the reason for this was the OC of my SandyBridge 2600K. I made a setting to run it...

But what about vFSB? And all that other voltages? I did it by the Toms Hardware tutorial, if you haven´t tried it, give it a shot, it´s really good!

It´s set in the Bios, CPU-Z Speedfan and others tell me a different vcore, lower than the Bios one actually I´m surprised, I lowered my memory timmings to 4.4.4.12, and after 5 hours of Orthos, and Memtest86+, no errors! I never thought this 667 Value Kingston would do such a good job =p

Thermaltake Big Typhoon, along with some artic silver 5 Remember I live in Brazil, the ambient temp here is around 28°C during the day!

Don´t be sorry man! You´re doing a great help to me! My CPU Case temp is probably wrong, I think it´s 15°c more than the actual temp. Idle I get CPU 50°C , Core 0 and 1 45°C Orthos 3 hours with no errors, I had error after 1 hours when using vCore 1.28, but after 1.30 3 hours no error, I...

Hi, it´s my first post around here! This last weekend I spent my time doing an Overclock on my C2D, and I´ll let you guys say how good or bad it is.. 400 X 8 = 3200GHz Vcore = 1.30 Memory = 667 @ 800MHz vDIMM 2.15, like the tutorial said, 5-5-5-15, now trying to lower these timmings...
