ok, lol............get this........i left turbo on, and tried x22...........missed the bios key, so, windows boots .......i was lookin at 4500, i think in cpu-z !~...........wtf, haha..............then a blue screen are reboot after like 30 seconds, hahaha

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, left dvid alone for now....................turned turbo on.......w/21x.............rebooted..........bios reports cpu frequency 3852 mhz ! ;)

Check current status if x22 is for any number of active cores.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

hmmm, might i need more dvid...........turbo seems to get me to 22x, but, maybe i need more voltage to get to 180 bclks ?

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Max turbo frequency is x26 for one core... Thats why I was afraid of the turbo, we have no control of it.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

its definitely running at 22x175 =3850 now, with turbo enabled..................but, when i went into windows, bsod 0124......gonna raise vtt a little and try again

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i seee ;-/

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

x22 set in BIOS and turbo enabled or only x21 in BIOS?
Add DVID also and maybe a tick or 2 up CPU PLL.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, raised dvid and vtt a bit more......lets see if windows is ok at 3850, 22x175, turbo on.......seems ok now, booted into windows..........gotta watch my voltage and temps........temps are ok on windows boot, 30's....cpuz Voltage is 1.264.........lemmie stress it a tad, if its ok, will go right back for 180 bclk ??? what do u think ?

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

yes 22x set in bios, and turbo on...........boots into windows................stressing it now with prime for a few mins..........voltage tops off at 1.296, temps in 50's after 5 mins of prime.......looks good,, now what ?.......

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

LynX?
Then try 180/181 bclk 4GHz.

So when was it that it was running at 4.5GHz?

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

oops, just noticed only 4 threads running.....musta shut off ht when i shut off c states, ect............gonna turn on ht, run prime for a few mins, then linx, if ok 180/181 bclk ;)

4.5ghz.......damn don't remember when i saw that.........i will keep my eye on that.....and the voltage and the temps......haha

btw, cpu pll is on auto......have never touched it........should i ?......options for it are like <normal, auto, or manual setting>

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, prime95 running fine, 3850=22x175, ht ON, cpuz voltage=1.296 , temps about 70 running prime, will go to Linx next.........4096mb, right ?

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

linx running now.......4096mb x 8 threads.........45Gflops first pass, in second pass now......temps up to mid and upper 70's but, no errors so far, cpuz reports core voltage as high as 1.312 and core cpu speed 3850=175x22

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

How come 1.212v? normal + DVID was 1.2125 for the 3.8GHz settings.
