LLC on auto here was causing the cpu voltage to increase from 1.325 to 1.37 as it automatically went to extreme. It sounds like yours is going to the high setting. Could be BIOS revision related or the like. I'm glad I looked into it as I left it on auto and was wondering why the high cpu temps.

Having a quick read through I think I am actually doing ok

But I still wanted to ask...

FX-6100 @ 4.3Ghz (6 core) @ 50c w/load
Antec Water Kuhler 620 for CPU (Second fan on the rad)
AsRock 970DE3
Gskill 1333 Ram
ATI HD 5850
Intel 520 SSD - 120gig

This is just a cheapish upgrade till I buy a new intel setup next week. So I was wondering about my cpu OC and how it was doing with temps with this Antec water setup and the voltage I have set.

the fx6100 is set as follows:

FSB @ 200Mhz
Multi @ 21.5
HT link @ 2Ghz
PCI Speed at 100Mhz
Vcore @ 1.378
NB Speed @ 2Ghz
DRAM Volts @ 1.55
CPUNB @ 1.3v
NB Voltage @ 1.3v

Under load it gets up to about 51 - 53c if my gf has the heater up

Idle in windows it seem to set about 38c - ish. 42 atm tho.

How does that seem? Of course I know I could get higher... but its just for a stable gaming rig (Planetside 2

) and my ram is of course old @ 1333mhz rated. Any tips would be great.

Vcore is to high if thats, 3.78, correct. It should be 1.5 Max with that kind of cooling.

Cheap upgrades turn into expensive lessons when strung together, but it's what all the fun is about.

There are two variants on the temp for amd fx cpu's. One is the core the other is cpu socket. The former has multiple readouts and the latter MUST stay under the TDP setout for the various processors.

crap - typo

1.378

I suggest people with an asrock extreme 4 (guessing the fata1ty and extreme 3 aswell) might want to consider updating to the latest firmware.

I just updated to firmware 2.00 in preparation of getting an 8350, the changes to the EUFI are pretty damned good. Visually it's leaps and bounds better than 1.8 and earlier, it's also faster with less lag.

The boot times with my Vertex 3 have halved and as such my only complaint about the SSD turned out to be a motherboard issue. Also this is probably a direct result of whatever was done to the SSD but everything seems smoother since updating, not just snappy as you get with SSD's.
