Hi All,

My CPU died yesterday on my Mobo !!!
This CPU seems to be very fragil !:mad:

When y'all say auto what exactly do you mean? I set VCORE on my 5960 to 1.27 recently. I finally got stable on 3101 (makes me scratch my head since so many reports of random reboots and it cured mine) so I decided to push a bit of an overclock on it. The machine has been running fine but I've been about that way now for a couple of weeks.

Want to make sure that I'm not pushing my luck.

load level 8
cpu input voltage 1.820 AIDA64 will read it at 1.840
cache 1.256 @ 4.2 adaptive
cpu 4.5 @ 1.275 adaptive CPUZ reads it at that AIDA64 reads it higher
2666 mhz 13 13 13 35 1T @ 1.35 or 2800 14 14 14 35 1T cant do 3000 unless i raise the strap to 125 15 15 15 35 1T 3202 i could @ 100 strap
GSKILL ripjaws 4 2666 stock ram tweaking mode 2 works best for me.........
system agent voltage at stock no improvents for me raising it
disable svid support for cpu and the memory then you can set your own cpu input voltage
disable svid anyway on both for oveclocking
older bios not 3000 x bioses i could do 4.2 cache voltage @ 1.2 volts
3202 bios and under 1 could run the 3000 @ 15 15 15 35 1T with the 100 strap
i do have more setting adjusted manually but i am on my laptop at the moment

pushing the vcore to 1.3 volts is fine with a decent aio .i have the corsair h105 i can do 4.6 but i need 1.344 volts
i wont do 4.6 24/7 ...only for benchmarks until i get a custom water loop.....

these are just some of my settings
