Yes 3.7 would be mad, I miss typed, I meant 1.37, my mistake. So no temps huh? As long as they are lower than mine you should be fine:lol:. But seriously make sure your thermal margin stays within the safe zone and always double-check with a second readout to confirm the first one. Luckily I have an Intel chip so I don’t have to rely just on Overdrive and my BIOS.
1.344v (as displayed in cpu-z) provides a solid load voltage when under stress. Yes, you should revert the nb voltage to its default setting (is that 1.2v on a 970 board?). Adjusting nb voltage isn't necessary unless you're overclocking via FSB, boosting RAM, or using a 990 board. Bios overclocking remains the better choice. It's hard to accurately determine if you're experiencing voltage drop or gain under load with overdrive; typically, you can achieve lower voltages and temperatures through the BIOS.
1.344v (shown in cpu-z) during load is a fairly good voltage. Yes, you should revert the nb voltage to stock (is that 1.2v on a 970 board?) No need to adjust nb voltage unless you're overclocking via fsb, boosting ram or using a 990 board. Bios overclocking seems better in my opinion. You really can't clearly tell if you're losing voltage or gaining under load with overdrive. Usually you can lower voltage and temperature through the bios. Hi, again, I've made some more adjustments and wanted to share what I think might work?
Perfectly suitable partner.
You can operate under load as long as it remains stable; otherwise, it doesn't really matter.
1.368v is fine under load, temperatures are normal, what cooler are you using?
Perfectly acceptable match. You're experiencing vdroop under load as long as the system remains stable; it doesn't really matter.
1.368v is fine under load, temperatures are normal, what cooler are you planning to use?
I'm using the standard cooler that came with the device, but I'm considering an upgrade within the next week or two to either:
Arctic Freezer A32 CPU Cooler, 120mm Fan, AM2/AM3+/FM1/FM2+, 1,000 to 1,350 RPM, Aluminium/Copper, White
Noctua NH-L9a Low Profile Quiet CPU Cooler, AMD AM3+/FM1/FM2
I'd like to explore water cooling but don't feel confident enough to proceed.
I'm located in East Sussex, UK, and I initially purchased my PC from eBay. Over time, I've upgraded several times. The only original part I have left is the case; I don't remember its make or model. My current specs are below average, and the case isn't small—it's a larger style but not the biggest available. It doesn't fit a full-size graphics card. I'm hoping to find it somewhere on the case.
I recommend the Gammaxx 300 mate if you're looking for affordable, reliable, and fast setup. It uses standard mounts, comes with pre-applied paste, costs around 50 cents, and operates quietly. This DeepCOOL GAMMAXX 300 CPU cooler features three heatpipes, a 120mm PWM fan, and supports both Intel and AMD processors.
