Hey guys,

I finally got this new box up and running..

I currently have it running @ 11.5x150 fsb @ 1.85v

Is this voltage too high?

According to motherboard monitor, the temp is around 35*c @ idle and running prime95 it's about 40*c.....This is with an Alpha 8045 HS w/ an 80mm sunon fan..

Prime95 had errors if i didn't bump up the voltage....Is this voltage too high? What kinda voltage can I safely run on this processor?

Thanks guys!

No, the voltage and temps are fine.....

What about my other ?'s? How high of voltage can safely be run on this proc?

Personally, I do not like to exceed 1.90V on good air cooling. (which you have) With watercooling, 1.95V.

In general, 10% is a good indicator as to how much the voltage should be raised. Using that formula, 1.925v is the answer I get.

Thanks guys...

According to MBM5, the core voltage is about 1.87.......Varying between 1.87-189

I have the DIMM voltage to +0.20v in the bios....is that bad? Cas on the ram is 2.5......Seems to be pretty stable now......Gonna run Prime95 on it when i leave home tonight....When running a little over 1000 test in prime95, temps crawled to 46*C.......Right now Ilde is around 39*C........This okay here guys? I'm about to play some UT2k3......I also swapped video card drivers, and amazingly enough, that seemed to have helped some...
