Opteron 144

[bladefd]

Hey, I just setup my new computer with the following: Opteron 144, EPOX 9npa+ Ultra mobo along with 6800 GS and I just noticed a problem. I got screenshot of it: http://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cpu6za.png <--- Isn't the voltage VERY high? What else is wrong? How can I fix it? The idle temperature is too high as well. Someone help me figure out what to do. I am worried that the voltage might do something - my computer is very stable right now though. The idle temperature is WAAY too high.. I only got 2 things on: mIRC and two windows of mozilla. I have not overclocked anything. Everything is stock. Thanks.

1. Go into the actual bios and see the readings, see if you can flash your motherboard to the latest bios to see if there was a temperature bug.

2. Those readings ARE WAY OFF, don't use em.

Ya thouse reading are way off go to your bios and check from there

Ok, the actual system temperature is 36 degrees celcius and cpu is 37 degrees celcius. The voltage of the cpu is 1.48 and the voltage of memory is 2.51. The numbers look MUCH better now - NEVER using anything but the bios to read the temperature from now on.

I was planning on overclocking to 2.2 GHz. What should I use to bring it up to 2.2 GHz? I can't raise the multiplier over 9x because bios doesn't let me. Should I raise the fsb to 245 from 200 for the overclocking? Thanks again, guys.

Raise the htt to 250 and drop the ht link to 4x.
At 1.48 volts that should be more than enough to cover 2.2 ghz

if your memory cant run 250 htt, use a 166 divider and your memory should run at about 210 fsb.

hm, wouldn't FSB(HTT) at 250 and multiplier at 4x make the cpu 1 GHz ? Also, CPU-Z says that one memory stick is from Corsair and 256MB. The other ram is 256 MB as well from Kingston. They are both PC2700 so I dunno if my memory can run at 250 FSB or not.

well loosen your memory timings to cas 3, and 250 htt mulltiplied by your 9 multiplier is 2250 mhz
