Hi Guys

i have a A8 6600K APU and a Asus F2A85-V and was wondering if anyone knew the vcore limits for this APU or know where i can find this information?

As there is preset modes in the asus bios are:

  • Low power mode vcore is around 1.3v
    Normal mode vcore is around 1.4v
    Turbo mode vcore is around 1.5v

which seems worryingly high. At the moment im in manual mode and have overclocked to 4.3Ghz and 1.4. . .vcore.

Cheers lads

why not go over 1.45v? Have you learned this from personal experiences or have seen it said else where?

1.55v will get you 5GHz, try to get 5GHz if you like.
Reason why I said to keep it under 1.45v is because Voltage AND Temperature is what kills/shorten the lifespan of CPU/GPU... Want your computer to die faster? go with 1.5v and your PC wont even last 10 years...
