Maybe!!

Run Core Temp, or real Temp, and list what the VID is of the processor. That is the established factory voltage for your chip at stock speeds, when Vdrop and droop are applied it will be lower actual.

To check VDrop and droop, get the VID, return to stock, manually enter the VID voltage as the Bios voltage, disable speed step, disable C1E, disable any eist junk, disable spread spectrum...

Boot to windows, and run CPUz, and look at the current Core Voltage after windows has booted, and idled down. That will show your Vdrop, the difference from Bios VCore to idle windows.

Next, run Prime 95 small ffts on all cores and after 1 minute, note the lowest value you see CPUz show your core voltage as!

List em all here, and we can take a peek and see!

Waiting for me, huh? I suggest the newer Bios anyways, but try this.

Load Line Calibration enabled.

memory mode to linked, memory frequency Sync Mode. (Will make the RAM run at twice the speed of the FSB.) And then set the QDR (FSB) to 1600. (QDR Is quad pumped FSB. So 1600 divided by 4 = 400)

Set the CPU ratio to x8, and manually set Trd in the memory timings area to 7.

Voltages! I say you re test with the new Bios, using Load Line Calibration, because on that board, it should at least get rid of vdroop, which will help alot.

Without LLC working, you will have to set the Bios VCore way higher than it actually needs or will get in windows.

Set the VCore to 1.4500 in the Bios, that will be 1.3250 while loaded or there abouts. Enough for 3.2 Ghz with yer VID. Or pretty close. PLL can be on Auto, VTT try 1.30, North Bridge at 1.40 The rest should be fine on Auto.

You may need to change the CPU GLT VREF to + 50 Mv again, as those boards seem to need fine tuning!

Good Luck!

Ok I have applied this setting

"memory mode to linked, memory frequency Sync Mode. (Will make the RAM run at twice the speed of the FSB.) And then set the QDR (FSB) to 1600. (QDR Is quad pumped FSB. So 1600 divided by 4 = 400)

Every thing went fine and I was able to boot windows but when I run Small FFT test on Prime 95 the temps goes high very quickly (up to 70/71) and due to high temp the conputer just hang and reboot.

What else i cann try?

 
Hmmm, what was your cooling again? And that was just a test! You need to tell me what the Idle voltage was while resting in windows, and then test it with small FFTs and see what the minimum is it reduces to!

I was being a bit over zealous on the VCore for a reason. To make sure it worked on the first try. It will be able to be reduced a bit. Prolly a fair bit. But you should disable all the CPU options just for the time being, so no thermal management kicks in and makes it slug out, or reduce speed, or cut the Multiplier, etc.

The fact that it worked is what mattered!

I am using Tuniq Tower 120 Air Cooler

how I can get "what the Idle voltage was while resting in windows"


"But you should disable all the CPU options just for the time being, so no thermal management kicks in and makes it slug out, or reduce speed, or cut the Multiplier, etc. " all of this is disabled
 
ok vcore is 1.376

I have changed the vcore to 1.38 and 1.40 but same issue of heat.

I seriously feel it is a bios prp cause i was not having the heat issue oh bios ver 1001 i only had the blue screen my temps @ 1001 was great
 
I have already lower the vcore to 1.38 and it is exactly the same issue.

I have also lower the the vlotage to 1.35 but i did not able to run test as the computer hanged before run the test
 
ok here is whst i have done:

downgrade bios to ver 1001

All Thermal Control = Disabled
All Spread Spectrum = Disabled
Load Line control = Disabled
FSB = 1380 MHz
Molt. = x 9
Final Freq = 3.10 GHz


Voltage controls:

CPU vCore = 1,420 v
CPU PLL = 1,56v
CPU VTT 1,50 v
MEM = 2.00
NB core = 1,40v
SB Core = 1,50v
1.2v HT = 1,20v
Bridge = 1,20

CPU GTL ref ratio = Auto
NB GTç ref ratio = Auto

IT is Running perfect

Now you wanna see if you can lower that CPU VTT!!

It's really all in your temps, keep an eye on them, and keep going if you want to. People always do!

Lupiron,

I have run prime 95 blend test for 8 hours on the following voltages and it is solid stable.

I feel that VCore is high but when I reduce it ti 1.42 prime test failed

What do you think ?

All Thermal Control = Disabled
All Spread Spectrum = Disabled
Load Line control = Disabled
FSB = 1380 MHz
Molt. = x 9
Final Freq = 3.10 GHz


Voltage controls:

CPU vCore = 1,440 v
CPU PLL = 1,36v
CPU VTT 1,50 v
MEM = Auto
NB core = 1,42v
SB Core = 1,50v
1.2v HT = 1,20v
Bridge = 1,20

CPU GTL ref ratio = Auto
NB GTç ref ratio = Auto
 
Yer alive!! Any way to bring down the VTT at all? :) And you can enable load line calibration once it works, heheeh!

Try small FFTs as well?

Other than the VTT being high, it looks good.

Asus just released bios ver 1601 and it is dam perfect. It didn't change my setting alot, but it helped me in reducing my core temp.

I am running now on the following setting using bios ver 1601

All Thermal Control = Disabled
All Spread Spectrum = Disabled
Load Line control = Disabled
FSB = 1380 MHz
Molt. = x 9
Final Freq = 3.10 GHz


Voltage controls:

CPU vCore = 1,42 v
CPU PLL = 1,56v
CPU VTT 1,36 v
MEM = Auto
NB core = 1,42v
SB Core = 1,50v
1.2v HT = 1,20v
Bridge = 1,20

CPU GTL ref ratio = Auto
NB GTç ref ratio = Auto
