The ASUS P45 Owner's Club

Close enough, I got a BSOD right after posting it, lol.

Anymore voltage and I get CPU overvolatge error on post.

That was at 1.6v LLC
 
Dare I try a higher voltage and ignore the error? I dont want to fry my CPU, but a 3dmark run would be nice.
 
mate, ive seen people putting nearly 2v into cpu's, as long as its for a short period it will be fine :toast:
 
On an air cooler?

I dont know what to do :cry:

What is the max safe volts specified by intel? 1.65v?
 
just do it! dont think about it, I didnt, got a stable run at 4Ghz, and its by no means a 24/7 clock.
 
Yeah but you can probably do 4 GHz on 1v :roll:
 
lowest I can get is 1.58V :)
*edit*

What the hell?!?! I just heard a tonne of like grinding noise from my pc, panicked, ripped the side panel off like lighting and one of my sharkoons fans fins has snapped off! :(

Which fan?

Do you want me to contact Scan and see if I can get them to send a replacement?

Need more info so I can start an RMA, what exactly has it done?
 
just one of the 4, it was suspended in the front of my case by cable ties, no contact with anything, it seems to have just sharded off and the ret of the fan got into an amazing speed wobble and chewed on the broken fin for like 4 seconds.

Must have been a week contact on the fin?
 
So just a fin has broken off?
 
yea, a fin broke off one of my 92mm fans awhile back, when you plug them in after, they just shake around all over. If you can get it replaced, do it.
 
I'll contact scan now and see if I can get a replacement :)
 
What sort of guides? OCing guides?

yes overclocking guides for my mobo

p5q-e wifi

oh yer i got to ummm 3.9ghz on 1.59350v tooo

3905.84 MHz (433.98 * 9)

can u update me plz
 
will do going, to try and get to 4 GHz again myself first.

1.62v it is :cry:
 
Good morning p45'ers.
 
hmm its night where i am lol
 
I am such a noob! :banghead:

But here are the results, will explain more on my noobness shortly :rolleyes:

You can go to the 4ghz club alex :D and congrats now I need to get myself in there.
 
You beat me! :eek:

What did you have your GTX running at? Im gutted now :( lol.

Beat you at what?

GTX 260 was at:

756 Core - 1512 Shaders - 1224 Memory
 
Just an update, on my noobishness. Seems I'm not such a noob after all :D

As I was increasing CPU voltage I realised all the power saving features were still on :slap:

So I turned em off, but it must have been coincidence that it was bench stable on the same boot.

I then tried lower voltages which worked once then not again.

Bit confusing, lol. I know 4 GHz can be a bit touch and go, especially with this much voltage.

I might try and change a few settings and see if I can get lower core voltage at 3.6 gHz, as thats what I'm back to now.

Never realised how CPU dependant 3dMark 06 is. It got a massive boost, and was still using 100% on Core 0 :eek:
