Hi Super,
One more time, thank for your help and patience in helping me!!!
At the moment, I'm OCing my Q6600 at 3.2GHz completely stable, after running some extended tests successfully in PRIME95, 3DMARK06 and 3DMARK VANTAGE. I'll keep testing CPU vcore downgrading and running P95 to check which is my most suitable CPU vcore.
Although, after analyzing my BIO settings below, I'm having some doubts about the settings I've chosen in
Standard Timing Control, Advanced Timing Control and System Voltage Control, namely because of my DDR2 settings which voltage is set to 2.15V at the moment. I know they're undervolted accordingly to manufacturer specs for these DDR2 RAMs.
Here it is description of my current BIO Settings:
MB Intelligent Tweaker (MIT)
Robust Graphics Booster: TURBO
CPU Clock Ratio: x8
CPU Host Clock Control: Enabled
CPU Host Frequency(Mhz): 400
PCI Express Frequency (Mhz): 105

System Voltage Control: Manual
DDR2 OverVoltage Control:

PCI-E OverVoltage Control: 0.2

DDR Termination Voltage Control: Normal
CPU GTLREF1 Voltage: Normal
CPU GTLREF2 Voltage: Normal
CPU Voltage Control:
1.40V
Normal CPU Vcore:
1.225V
I know my DDR2 RAMs have a feature called EVP that allows performance enthusiasts to use a VDIMM of 2.25V without invalidating their OCZ Lifetime Warranty, thus I'm volting them safely at 2.15V.
Other spec that my DDR2 RAMs have is a thing called
EPP Ready. Do you know what's this for?
I'm a bit unsure about the
above blue settings because I don't know if they are the more suitable and safe to keep this OCing.
Here is a pic of my specs at current time:
Please, could you give me some help and also some suggestions about the most accurate settings for
these above blue specs?
Or should I leave as they are now and keep doing the CPU vcore downgrading and running P95 to check which is my most suitable CPU vcore.
Cheers,
