Hello
I have my q6600 overclocked to 3.00ghz on a gigabyte x38-ds4.
multiplicator x9 fsb 333
First i had it on 3,00ghz with a vcore of 1,3v. When i was watching the cpuid (everest) while stressing the system. vcore was constantly on 1,3v...Also when ideling.
After that i set the vcore lower. On 1,275. cpuid shows me now (in idle mode) 1,264v. But when i stress the cpu it goes down to 1,232. How can this be??
The system is running stable with all cores on 100%, an overclock of 600mhz and a vcore raise of 0% wich even drops when busy...
Maybe everest isnt honest with me? But i set the values myself in the bios...
Whats wrong here? I thought the vcore is supposed to raise when the cpu is busy, nut the oposite...
