I'm running an eVga 680i 122-CK-NF68-A1 with an e6300 core.
I'm a little gunshy as I just blew out a few of these motherboards after letting the northbridge get too hot. Now with some very modest overclocking I've got the maximum mcp temp to about 64c after playing Crysis for awhile. This temp is not great but not unreasonable for this particular board. Still I'd like to know if I might be able to get this down a little by adjusting voltages as I have heard that in addition to high voltages causing heat, voltages set to low can cause inefficiency and therefor excess heat as well. Here are my current voltage settings.
My OC as I said is modest. My FSB is set at 1333(1066 default) for the e6300.
cpu fsb: 1.40v
Nforce spp: 1.40v
Nforce: mcp: 1.50v
NTNforce spp <-> mcp 1.20v
Any input here is appreciated.
