Highest voltage to push o/c

[matthewbolzicco]

Just wondering where i should draw the line on voltage before i get my Zalman 7700cu. Right now im just running the stock hsf until this guy on ebay picks up the pace and delivers! I dont really know where to stop with the voltages but i feel weary past 1.525v.

Also thats my cpu voltage that im pushing, whats the diff with respect to the Vcore? Should i be pushing that aswell?

vcore is the cpu voltage



and most people will say not to cross 1.6V unless you have adequate cooling.......... Im at 1.72v with a XP-90c heatsink and i still stay under 40C on high loads


its all a matter of how low you can keep your temps the higher you raise the vcore

My bios has a cpu voltage and vcore voltage in two different screens all together... i should just raise the vcore then and leave the cpu voltage alone then.

are they both the same though


ie, if you set one at 1.52, does the other one read 1.52?

no the vcore is lower than the cpu voltage.
