Hi guys
I made a mistake when overclocking my chip, I upped my NB and HT voltage to around 1.5, because I was advised to do so by someone who probably didnt know what the hell he was talking about, and prime95'ed it for 3 hours. I was then told by someone else that I shouldn't have done that and I couldve destroyed my board, as that NB voltage was too high. So, I hope I didn't do any damage to the board, or the chip, or shorten its lifespan in any way.
So i finally was able to get my chip to 3.2ghz with the following settings
Vcore: 1.2625
NB: Auto
SB: Auto
HT: 1.38 (Wont run stable in vista with anything lower than that
FSB: 1423
CPU Multiplier x9
RAM Timings: Stock
RAM Voltage: 2.1
Anyway, I have a couple of questions to ask:
What is the HT Voltage setting exactly? What does it do? Does it need to be at 1.38 or can i set it to auto and raise vcore to see if my PC runs stable. (I was actually able to run Prime95 for a solid 3 hrs with a 1.2625 vcore. My temps were: Before: (idle): 29c, after 3 hours: 45c.
I appreciate all your inputs, thanks.
