Bios Settings review for the experts

[bramdo]

Hi Guys,

I hope these bios settings are any good according to the specialist (you) opinion. Problem is that I also have the CPU Core and real temp issue where under prime the CPU gets 70 dregrees celsius under load when oc to 3.2 ghz and 55 idle. In realtemp it's 60 load / and 50 idle despite the noctua cpu cooler . I would like to change these settings to get save 3.00 ghz but i dis my homework for the 3.2 ghz and forgot how to change the settings to 3.00 ghz (voltage etc)

Please take a look, Thanks Bram

FSB= 375


Although I do recommend fully reading Graysky's guide so you understand what you are doing, not just how you are doing it.

Hello,

you're complety right about the suggestion (and the quote ).
However I misformulated my question a bit.
There are some things that I didn't find in the guides (like loadline calibration) and i wanted to check since learning by doing is sometimes dangerous ...

Thanks

This section is your FSB and Memory settings
Ai Overclock Tuner = Manual
OC From CPU Level Up = AUTO
CPU Ratio Control = Manual
- Ratio CMOS Setting = 8
FSB Frequency = 400 i can see your clocked at 3.2ghz
FSB Strap to North Bridge = 333 why not 400 strap?
PCI-E Frequency= 100
DRAM Frequency= DDR2 800
DRAM Command Rate = 2T
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel A = Auto
DRAM CLK Skew on Channel B = Auto
DRAM Timing Control= Manual
CAS# Latency = 5
RAS# to CAS# Delay = 5
RAS# Precharge = 5
RAS# ActivateTime = 15
RAS# to RAS# Delay = Auto
Row Refresh Cycle Time = 50
Write Recovery Time = Auto
Read to Precharge Time = Auto

Read to Write Delay (S/D) = Auto
Write to Read Delay (S) = Auto
Write to Read Delay (D) = Auto
Read to Read Delay (S) = Auto
Read to Read Delay (D) = Auto
Write to Write Delay (S) = Auto
Write to Write Delay (D) = Auto

Write to PRE Delay = Auto
Read to PRE Delay = Auto

This is the chip killer potion. Meaning where you mess up you can kill your chip
CPU Voltage = 1.45v This is what we call bios voltage, not vCore.
CPU PLL Voltage = 1.55v i tend to never exceed pll voltage greater then core voltage
North Bridge Voltage = 1.4v long term loading will require you to prep board and maybe active cooling if you dont have one
DRAM Voltage = 2.1v this is kinda high for me as well try 1.95V
FSB Termination Voltage = 1.3v
South Bridge Voltage = Auto
Loadline Calibration = Enabled trys to reduce Vdroop on load leave this on enabled
CPU GTL Reference = Auto dont touch this unless you know what your doing
North Bridge GTL Reference = Auto
DDR2 Channel A REF Voltage = DDR2-REFF
DDR2 Channel B REF Voltage = DDR2-REFF
DDR2 Controller REF Voltage = DDR2-REFF
SB 1.5V Voltage = 1.5

Please read my bolded comments. :T

I agree with AIGO, your voltages are too high for 3.2ghz, my x3350 runs 3.2v with actual load vcore of 1.25 (per CPUz under load) all other voltages at stock.

I would return everything to stock except vcore, run prime to make sure its stable, then begin reducing vcore and testing with prime until you find the lowest vcore that will pass prime

 

[aigomorla]

you know what i totally missed his question.

I thought he was asking how his settings were, not help me lower them.


Okey, OP first off i dont think your gonna see a super big improvement in temps from 3.0 vs 3.2.

So i would keep the 400 x 8 overclock you have, instead of going down to 3.0ghz.

Also try lowering the PLL.

Also lower the CPU Voltage.


If its a G0 it should hold your overclock @ cpu voltage 1.35.
Set PLL to 1.30-1.4 I dont think you'll need 1.4 You have it super too high.


After you do these changes, stress test it. Then if it passes, lower the cpu voltage more. Some G0's can hold that overclock @ stock voltage.

That should lower your cpu temp. Also i trust CoreTemp > RealTemp on a full blown kentsfield.

Q6600 = kentsfield.

For the Q9450 yorkie I think realtemp is more accurate than coretemp. And I beleive the yorkie will be a C1 stepping.

lmao.

i found a bug on it, with my Q9650 ES.

Dear all,

thanks for taking the time to answer me. I hope when I study hard enough that one day I can help one of you but till than i can only express my gratitude.
What would be an good-excellent temperature for an oc 9450 to 3.2 ghz no load.
Bram

 

[GuitarDaddy]

40-45c

 

[aigomorla]

YMMV depending on voltage settings

meaning, your millage may vary.

 

[Shimmishim]

yes i agree it will depend on your voltage... but i was recently trying out a e8400 and i noticed temps didn't change much with voltage even with load.

with that said. i agree that you should drop your voltage from 1.45. it's way high even for 3.2ghz.

also never put the vtt or vfsb voltage above 1.45 for extended use. from what i've read, it can kill your cpu.
