I foudn the reason for a few BSOD I was having. The crappy 360 controler a friend bought me was causing the USBOHCI and DXKERNEL BSOD. Unplug it and I am fine, I ahve been worried a brief stint of 1.6+vcore damaged my chip as I kept having these issues, but apparently not.

wow 1.65V, thats the Stock Voltage of a AMD XP Desktop CPU, 1.45 for the Mobility parts at stock clock. Also Steevo, the XB360 Controller sucks in my eyes on PC due to the drivers it uses (it makes the trigger accesses - and + thus i cant set it for certain games like throttles)

I use a Logitech Dual Action, solid controller.

I bought it only for GTA4 as no matter how good a KB + M is for GTA, you just need a controller. And it feels right for the game too. I also have a Saitek p2600, Logitech, and a momo.

I think we should have a new thread that is not a club, but a database of overclocking. This should include clock speed, vcore, cpu z screenshot, and and at least a 1 hour OCCT test for stability.

Good idea, but I am just looking for the highest. I don't care if they are stable :roll: I am just gonna keep the top 5 list updated if anyone wants to make a stable OC list thread.

cpu-z is usually very accurate, but this is an ES chip, so you get little annoying things like this. It's usually worth putting up with though.



Awesome. I want to see a one hour OCCT. Also, what is the actual voltage here? On my board, it needed 1.56v to get reasonably stable at 4.0. It would pass hwprime and 3dmark 06, but I couldn't get it OCCT stable at 4.0. It very well could be my board though. You're running it on the crosshair, correct?

is ES "even series"? (just guessing) what does it mean?

well i guess other than nvidia's 780a chipset and 750a chipsets its not like i'm using a 945BE and 780a chipset to push the chip over 4ghz or anything big like that

OCZ Vendetta = 36C / LOAD = 45C
OCZ Vendetta 2 = 42C / LOAD = 54C (WHY?)
