Huh? Chai... who is using your account?

both. 965 & 680. DQ6 = quad series. the meaningless 6 quad crap.

gigabyte calls it a 12-phase VRM design. but it's a plain lie.

it's jsut a 6phase 2high+2low mosfet and 2 chokes design. it's not 12phase. in fact on the 680DQ6 i cant even locate the mosfet driver for the 6th phase VRM. the mosfets and chokes are there, but where is the driver?

now think again, i would say the XBX2 has the best VRM implementation for a C2Q and C2D. robust stuff.

Reviving my thread.

Needs advice from you experts.

I got my system stable at the below o/c.

Quote:

E6600 @ 3280Mhz (410x8)
BIOS vCore = 1.425v
WXP vCore (CPUZ + ASUS Ai Suite) = 1.352v
NB vCore = 1.55v
vDimm = 2.0v
Temp = Idle 55oC / Load 66oC

I have some questions.

1) Is it safe to run at the above specs 24/7?
2) Should I lower the CPU vCore?
3) Because ZuePhok mentioned that E6600 max voltage by Intel specs is +0.1/0.2v from 1.35v. So, is that voltage in BIOS or the one detected in Windows? Because I heard such thing as vdroop where voltage set in BIOS will drop in Windows or something? Maybe that's why I get a ~0.7v difference between CPUz and BIOS. Or the voltage detected in CPUz is just inaccurate?

Please advise. Thanks.

Oops... I read Phok's statement wrongly... the decimal point. +0.1-0.2 is considered safe? Means can go as far as 1.525v as long as the temp is safe?

One thing that I've been wondering, I've read some overclocks' stories around the net, why some of them even on stock cooler can maintain temp at 40+oC and 50+oC load, some even lower!

Two words: "temperate climate"

That's one thing I hate about P5B-E, the voltage drop is terrible, not vdroop.

Dashken · 20th Jun 2007, 11:22 AM

Running Orthos at 415x8 @ 3.3Ghz stable for 8 hours now.

Eh, not vdroop but vdrop? LOL! Vdroop is all over the Internet. Talk about typo, and everyone follows as well.

Thanks for the correction.

vdroop means the difference between the voltage drop during idle and load. Like when in Windows, 1.40V, but when running Orthos, 1.35V. That's vdroop.

Dashken · 20th Jun 2007, 02:18 PM

Ohh... so, technically, which voltage should I be concerned on, vcore in BIOS or vcore in Windows idle mode?

If possible, use a multimeter and check on the motherboard directly.
