q6600 g0, 680i wont go above 2.8

Whats the difference between OC'ing FSB and OC'ing Voltages?

 

[veedubfreak]

Anytime you increase FSB speeds beyond stock, you need to supply more voltage to the components.

 

[Redmo0n]

Isn't that the same thing when increasing voltages.... well you no what i mean.

umm...nope... you don't HAVE to increase one or the other..voltage is needed for stability

ok so im at 3ghz now and its gettin unstable, i have my voltage set on auto and it was reading 1.14 in bios and 1.152 in cpuz...??? so i upped it to 1.15 in bios restart go into bios agin and its showing it set to 1.15 but it says current voltage is 1.05 or something, save +exit restart, went to cpuz and it sayed same thing right before i got the bsod in windows... set it back to auto and went down to 2.8 agin where its stable on auto/stock voltage. is this normal to set the voltages and get a lower actual voltage supplied? ill post a pic if yall dont get what im saying

 

[mgcook]

you need to manually set the voltages

 

[NosBoost300]

auto is a terrible thing to do when overclocking, because it sometimes may volt TOO high on things such as the northbridge, and give you very undesirable temps

 

[stalin90]

kk thx agin guys it got every thing off auto and set to what mg cook had except core voltage which im tweaking now.

 

[stalin90]

ntune doesnt like me lol but these are the voltages i put in its all manual do they look ok or should i change something like NOW!

edit: i looked on the corsair site and they said my memory was tested at 1.9v
and i was using coretemp to monitor temps not this...

 

[mgcook]

uninstall ntune...its junk, it will do nothing but reset next time you restart your computer

it made my crash numerous times when trying to OC.
