voltage is around .9 Is that bad? V core is set at +.15 which makes vcore about 1.6

What does your bios say? And what program did you use to get a calender to display on your desktop?

The bios says what it should. It does not actually give me a vcore voltage but rather a + or - to the default. When it is set at + .15, it registers as around 1.6. But cpuz doesnt see it that way for some reason.

Also, since i can get it to about 2.6(plus or minus a few MHZ) stable, whats a good benchmark to show me the real difference? I ask because to get it at that speed, I had to mem dived and my memory speed dropped to around 193MHZ(from 200) and i wanted to compare the stock and the OC'd system.

Which mobo are you using? For a while I was using an EVGA NF4 SLI mobo and it wouldn't report properly to any app. what the voltages and such were. Are you using that mobo perchance?

 

[Giantsfan24]

Nope, im using a Epox 9NPA3Ultra(same as the + ultra but without firewire).

Keep in mind that the bios loads before Windows and therefore cannot show the voltages present after Windows loads.

Well that depends on what you are using your system for. Running the mem divider with the ram slightly under it's rated speed, will have almost no performance impact, while the CPU overclocked to 2.6ghz will have a nice impact. But in order to know what benchmarks would be good, depends a lot on what you use your system for. Crystalmark is always good, run the integer, floating point, and memory tests. CPU speed will drasticly improve video encoding. Gaming is more dependant on the video card, but you can squeeze out a few extra FPS with the cpu overclocked.
