vCORE

Nuno_Martins · 07-26-2007, 11:06 AM

Hey,

This is my first post, and i don't speak english very well

I read this part of this article:

Quote:

I never increase the vCORE beyond a prudent level. I strongly advise you not to do so either. Remember, excessive vCORE is a CPU killer.

Can you tell me what's the limit of the vCORE that I can increase approximately?

Sorry for my english!

I really depends on the cpu really. I remember with the old P4 northwoods wasnt a good idea to go over 1.65v on them.

My system is:

Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R
Intel C2D E6750
2x1Gb Team Elite PC6400 5-5-5-15
Corsair HX-520W
Tuniq Tower 120

Anyone?

It would be useful if you were to tell us which CPU you are talking about. CPU's run at different voltages depending on make and model. The clip you posted is good information though. Adding too much voltage CAN destroy your processor. One of the things people like about the Core 2 Duos is you can get a good overclock with them without having to increase the voltage. My advice would be to not change your voltage settings unless you are sure what your doing, oh and welcome to the forums

edit: posted before new info. Now that I know what CPU.. I wouldn't worry about increasing the Vcore with that chip unless you are to trying to get an extreme OC.

I would say 1.45v maybe more depends on what kind of temps your getting.
