vcore

[jajaja]

Hi guys. My system is overclocked. There are some vcore numbers that I can get my OS boot sucessfully to dekstop at the GHz I want. my question, does each number give the same speed performance ? or it doesn't matter which as long as I can get to dekstop. I choose the lowest vcore because I tought it would give me a lower core temperature. if there is any calculation info on how to get the precise vcore please let me know. I appreciate it much. thanks


specs:
c2d E6600
2GB of RAM
6800 GS

Higher volts = more temps and lowered CPU life (though the latter isn't as much a problem as the first)

If you want to know how low you can go on vcore, set your overclock, then lower your vcore by tiny increments until your system gets Orthos unstable or something. That's pretty much the only way.

Simply booting and getting to the desktop doesn't mean you're stable. Run Orthos to test stability. You want as low a voltage as you can and still remain Orthos stable.
