(this part copied from another post a few days ago)
hey all, this weekend as i was waitin on more parts to finish my WC rig build i decided to play around with settings at my 250 x 10 setting that i have been using pretty much since 2k5 started. or before even. anyhoo, on to my question
it seems that runnin at 1.425 + 5% or whatev (since im using a msi neo plat) is a voltage setting it likes, and i like it too cuz its not that much heat coming out.
now i decided, lemme throw a smidgen more volts at this thing and i can see what happens with some long prime runs (the previous setting would go about 15- 20 hours then gimme a rounding error or expectation error im not sure).
well this more voltage thing made prime95 fail pretty quickly, usually between 5- 6 hours. so i tried various settings:
1.425 + 8.3%
1.425 + 10%
1.45 + 5%
1.45 + 8.3%
1.45 + 10%
none of them lasted longer or shorter and none of them pushed my swiftech storm past say 51 max load as read out by mbm or everest.
so whats the deal folks? winnies like less voltage? is there some way to give the chipset more voltage cuz of the 250mhz? does it want more?
note: specs in sig / ram iss on 166 divider resulting in 208mhz and its memtest stable over 24 hours holla. the power components seem to be doin well cuz i got a big 120 blowin some decent air across the the whole ram and mosfets section of hte board then out hte back (no exhaust fan so i put it nearer to the front of the case)
let me know if you guys have any idea whats up or other general OC tips here. thanks!
+++++
also want to know if there is any good bios'es out there now as im using hte 1.36mod. bios that have TRUE voltage control and not having to set bios voltage to 1.55 then having that actually be 1.35 or whatev.
basically i would love to know what it is i need to do with this voltage thing, if winnies for some reason like less voltage even tho 11.55 aint a ton and also if there is any new bioses liek 1.8 or 1.9 that have been modified to finally work really well. the offical 1.9 crashed my system.
