CPU-Z Validator Database
It took bumping the V.core from 1.35 to 1.425 Volts, and the Ram needed to be at 2.1 Volts to Run stable on Orthos. I know you had stated that I shouldn't be concerned with Temps. During my Orthos run at 3.2Ghz the Temps hit 60C for the hour. My Ram was running at 5,6,6,18.
I then backed the speed down a notch and tried to tighten the timings, they went to 4,4,4,10 at 1.9 volts
Weird how the Ram needed to be at 2.1 volts to run at 800Mhz.Temps were in the mid 55's during my 1 Hour 20 Min run of Orthos.
3DMark06
3.2 Ghz 5,6,6,18=11407, New Record
3.040 Mhz 4,4,4,10=11235
I didn't want to push things any further considering the V.Core was getting up there. 1.425 is starting to push it for the Extra 160Mhz on the CPU isn't it?! I know some chips can handle major volts and heat, But 60C under Load seems like it is getting a little hot.
So if you guys think It is o.k. to Run my CPU at 3.2Ghz with those temps (60 under orhtos load) for Gaming, Then I will. I would like to try and tighten the timings at those speeds and see if I could break the 12000 Mark on 3DMark06??
I know I shouldn't put everything into that test, But it is the Fastest way to see my Gains. I have heard it can be safe to pump up to 1.5 Volts into my Chip?
Thanx for your help guys, Let me know what you think?
