There is no option in BIOS to enable SMART. I tried Everest on Vista x64 but cannot see anythig in SMART category.
NVIDIA disabled the option of choosing to enable/disable it. It should be enabled by default but SATA drivers should have a problem like someone on another forum said since he...
BIOS is up to date. My chip is basically a 680i in which S.M.A.R.T option choice was disabled in BIOS although it's enabled by default. I came across a thread in some forum in which they blamed the SATA drivers for Vista as the user who had my problem could read the temps. in XP.
Anyhow, the...
OK first of all, I didn't know that guide existed. I've read other guides but none were that detailed about overclocking unless they were old.
Anyhow, after reading, I've got some questions:
1. Say I've got a DDR-800 RAM stick. Would it be better to OC it with less timings or lessen the...
OK how about testing with ram @ 800 (default) with 4-4-4-12? These settings gave me 5.9 in Vista so I'm happy.
Also, I can use a linked OC using Sync Mode which displays 1:1 in CPUZ with these RAM settings. Before it was 8:9 or something, I don't recall.
How do I use RAM settings in OCCT?
Man I'm fed up. 1st core failed.
I have a feeling that the processor OC (which is supposed to be stable) is not stable because of the RAM although the RAM passed memtest86+ for 14 hours.
It should be the ram that's causing my problems. What do you people suggest for my 8GB kit? It's...
Blend failed after 5 min.
I set all voltages to auto and now it's running for 4.5 hours without any errors in a pretty hot room.
24H is the target. C'mon!
With HWMonitor, using Prime95 (Blend) gives 70/73/67/70 (Max. 74/76/72/72).
CPUTIN was 59 Max at a very hot room (no windows open).
But with Real Temp, all cores are exactly 10C less.
Q9450 has a really messed up sensors.
Hi,
Currently, I've got Vista x64 installed on a 500GB HDD. I want to install Ubuntu on a separate 80GB HDD.
I would love Vista to auto load unless I press something to choose Ubuntu. Is that possible?
It's not called an actual temperature actually but that's the one you should be concerned about. I use HWMonitor and it's the CPUTIN temperature. It never passes 54C @ load in Small FFT/Blend test.
But the RAM is fine after 7 passes in memtest86+ (900/54415/2T/TRC30).
Anyhow here's an update.
I ran OCCT using a voltage of 1.3250 in BIOS. It gave an error after 38min.
I changed the voltage to auto and I was amazed not to see much voltage drop (I believe auto is 1.3). Ram OCCT for...
I have the same range of temps with my Zalman 9700 for the cores. The actual CPU temp. is 33C idle and 53C load.
Lot's of people say that the core sensors are not accurate so don't worry about them.
Edit: Those @ a 3.2GHz OC!
That's what I'm experiencing. 1.25v when BIOS is set to 1.3v.
So far 12h stable using Prime @ everything stock.
I'll try now the following settings before I sleep (23:00 here).
8 x 400MHz (1600FSB) / Unlinked / 1.325v
900 MHz for Ram @ 5-4-4-15/25 / TRC 30 / 2.1v
Should I play...
@ShadowFlareX: Yes, I do have a fan on top of my NB. Also the air flow in my case is really good hence my processor and graphics card (overclocked) temps.
Prime has been running for about 11h 30min without any errors...Everything @ stock (inc. RAM). Max temps. I got were:
49C for CPUTIN...
The processor temp. (HWMonitor) for CPUTIN didn't exceed 53C @ load. So it wouldn't be a heat issue I guess?
PSU is 1200W running a 9800GX2 as well. I've played some game, not for much but I haven't experienced any crashes. I really hope I can run a 24H test @ 3.2GHz.
Hi,
I have a Q9450 processor, EVGA 780i SLI motherboard and 8GB of OCZ Reaper HPC DDR-800 RAM.
I overclocked my processor to 3.2GHz unlinked (1600FSB using a multiplier of 8). The RAM is overclocked to 900MHz with timings of 5-4-4-15/2T.
Processor runs @ 1.3v Bios, 1.25v in HWMonitor...
