One other thing!
If you know your settings try flashing back to your previous BIOS and see if you have issues. Some BIOS' won't o/c the same. As an EVGA user I can regale many stories about this. :biggrin:
If your board has a dual BIOS you can use that feature by flipping a switch and using a previous BIOS version, etc.

I tried it many times. I think im almost back to where i was before. Im close enough that i dont care. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
 
Overclocking is all about margin.
Push too close to the edge and the slightest change pushes you over the edge and you fall down into blue screen oblivion. 😉

Back it off a bit and try again making sure it's stable as previously mentioned. Push it until it fails then back off some.

Document your BIOS settings. Use a camera if you have to. There are BIOS sheets/templates you can also fill in. Regardless of how you do this it's important to record these settings for future use. NEVER rely on BIOS profile save features particularly across BIOS revisions. ALWAYS type it out and save from your documentation. Otherwise you're chasing a goose on a treadmill.

Ah, well i prefer speedfan since i can set up fan speeds (go figure 😛) and can monito all my other temps as well.

Do you know what the odds are an air cooler can even cool a cpu , albeit in this case overvolted to 1.36v to ambient room temp?

Plus if you are at 23c idle you are only seeing a 23c swing from idle to load with an air cooler that based on reviews I saw was upper middle of the road for air coolers....I doubt this...

I think you have a faulty temp monitoring program and or you are running prime95 blend instead of actually taxing the cpu with small FFT or Large FFT....

OK.

Its slightly higher, though im not sure which one is more accurate. Im guessing realtemp, since you all reccommended it. But im still going to use speedfan, and ill use realtemp in the future if im posting temps heer on AT.

You are using a very old version of Realtemp. I gave you the link for a newer version above. Idle temps don't show us anything but from what those look like, I bet we are going to see mid 60c.

Judging from your screenshot, its pulling the Tcase and not the actual core temps.
 

Smoblikat,
I have not posted in this thread, but it would seem that you have been rude to many people here, and seem to think everyone except you is wrong.

Posting As a mod, this is a word of warning, you are treading on thin ice. You need to rethink your replies an listen to these people or you are headed for a vacation. Being rude could actually be deemed wrong here, but I give you the benefit of the doubt for now.

Please heed this warning, and no infraction for now. I will be watching.

What? Show me where i was rude. Also, if you have actually read the thread you would know that i always took peoples suggestions, and do not think that i am right and everyone else is wrong. Though i did prove a lot of people wrong with my screenshot of 5ghz @ 1.35v.

Actually its the exact version you linked me to, v3.6. At least i beleive thats the same one.

^ you should be aware that this post constitutes a "mod challenge" and it IS actionable.

As to your question, maybe any one of these?

Well, you are 100% wrong, i have been testing all night. But you dont care, im sure youre as sick of me as i am of you. So stop posting in my threads.

Actually he was being a jerk, and i proved him wrong to boot.

Im not trying to be mean (nor am i a kid) im just sick of arrogant people who think they know everything and have no rpoblem letting everyone else know it. He did help me with the PLL thing though. And i thank him for that.

Definitely school work first!!!!!


trust me...I have combed reviews and a persion with reasonable intelligence has to question the rather low swing in temps from idle to load when a vastly qualified member (IDontCare) with better cooling cannot manage 23c swings from idle to load at 5ghz with 1.36v.....

No one is calling you a liar....just run the temp programs we have suggested that are vetted by the hardware community as accurate and compatable with SB chipsets and we can get to the bottom of this....

I am hoping he really does have a golden chip, but it needs to be verified, not just claimed. Looking forward to the verification. Even if its not a golden chip, at least its no slouch at a minimum.

I already ran a member certified program for idle temps. I hope i have a golden chip, will IBT suffice or does it HAVE to be linX?

As i said before, i ran realtemp 3.6 like you guys said to. Idles show a few C above what speedfan was rporting.

Yup, i was upset with idontcare and wasnt as nice as i should have been, i admit that. But you cant ignore the fact that i put "im not trying to be mean" right after it.

Other than that nothing you posted (out of the three quotes 😛), was rude at all.

Whats a "mod challenge", how is it wrong to ask for proof when my name was being slandered?

Calling people "jerks" is rude. You did that 3 times.

And saying to a mod that "you are 100% wrong" ? Thats rude

Mod challenge is questioning a mods evaluation of you.

And your screenshot @ 5 ghz @ 1.35 proved nothing, since your original claim was 5.3 ghz @ 1.37.

Yup, usually when calling someone a jerk it is rude. Also, im glad you told me about mod challenging, i didnt know that i wasnt allowed to stand up for myself. In the future i will abide by this rule.

Either way, lets just focus on the task at hand, which currently seems to be temps. We will have load temps friday or saturday, and right now we have idle temps of 26C.

Truth is a valid defense. You can stand up for yourself, but in this case, you are flat wrong on many points.

Lets not derail the thread anymore. You drop it, and be nice, and we will forget it happened.
 
My understanding is that being a mod is a double edged sword. The same way they get and deserve special respect, they are also limited in how much they can for lack of a better phrase "let their hair down"

Lucky there are plenty of antagonists here to do that job.

My best advice to you is to not take the requests, inquires and doubts as any affront to you. Anyone else in your situation would be put through the same ringer considering what you may or may not have. I can tell you right now your chip is way better than mine regardless of what level its final tests evaluate to.

OK

I have some good news, i finished my essay last night, and i also found that i can OC on stock clocks with much lower volts than i could before. I can do 3.3ghz with power saving mode enabled and all that other stuff on .944v, IBT fully stable. Ima try for lower when i get home.
