MY new CPU

[dario03]

I'm pretty sure my X2 3800 is a Toledo and it does 2.8ghz with only 1.2 volts (would go higher but mobo can't do it). Loosen your ram timings or put a divider on.

i pushed it to +80v and 2.3Ghz and I got a BSOD, im going out now but later will be ram time but i may be forced intto buying a new PSU as mine keeps crapping out on me

i'm going to say it may be your motherboard..

naga your in texas? what city/area

i'm going to say it may be your motherboard..

yeah, its only an Matx thing but im not an over clocker *gasps*

although i would be if i had a good motherboard for overclocking LOL

 

[NosBoost300]

ya though it seems your voltage can go high, it might have a vdroop problem or something of the sort

 

[Nick]

what the cpu?

 

[NosBoost300]

nope, the motherboard.. probably has voltage spikes, which is probably why it won't stay stable when overclocking

 

[Nick]

does that mean my motherboard is faulty in someway or damaged?

 

[NosBoost300]

nah, just means it's not a high end mobo w/ certain features like solid gold capacitors and all that junk.. but even some of the best of boards, such as the asus maximus have this problem.. i know mine has it.. i set it to 1.5 in bios.. fired up and took a look at the voltages everything was reading and i was really only at about 1.45
