No idea what it was, two boards, each only lived two months.

Abit shipping me a third..

too lazy to get voltage info picture... but heres the CPUZ/Coretemp

I'm getting my new parts tomorrow and will also be OC'ing an E2200.
Got any tips
One thing I would like to know is what your RAM to FSB is, as you left it out in your post. I'm not quite sure exactly what that is yet, but maybe it will help when I start trying to OC.
I coincidently bought the same RAM as you as well. I will be cooling with air though.
Thanks

5:4 or somewhere around there

425/336 =~ 1.265
5/4 = 1.25

Out of curiousity, With my mild 3GHz OC, I only manually changed the VCore from auto to 1.21ish, and my RAM Voltage. Everything else is auto'd: FSB, NB etc. My temps are 37ish at idle, was 50ish till i remember I didn't set my Vcore off auto...

But is the auto settings going to over-do and hurt something?

Auto usually either overvolts or undervolts
Best to adjust it yourself.

YHA, they put my VCore at 1.34Vs..... eek.

Problem is.... I don't know what the stock voltages are, as they come out on the BIOS screen as "Auto"

Anyone got an idea or screen of them?

[stalin90]

you can find out your stock vcore w/ coretemp. it will be labeled "VID"
you mem and vcore will be different but these are the voltages i use on my 680i, same with mgcook and some others

Thanks.... I know where to find the important ones Vcore and Mem... It's the FSB, NB, & SB ones I didn't. Well, their actual value anyway. Off Auto they go

I'm running 2.1 on memmory.. Ditched the Ballistixs for OCZs, and 1.2125 for a Set Vcore.

Thanks again

np i asked the same question b4, that pic is from mgcook from a thread i started awhile ago

Officially a member of the 4Ghz club, I feel like a superhero...

My machine is sitting right next to my keyboard scattered about without a case, ordering one tomorrow, not sure if I want to be cliche and get an Antec Nine Hundred or go with an AeroCool AeroEngine Plus.
