Posted this in general discussion, but no help yet, so trying here.
I'm concerned about my CPU voltage.
System 1 (in pertinent part):
Core i7 920 D0
Asus P6T Deluxe v2
Corsair Dominator 1600MHz (3x1GB)
Cooler Master HAF 932
Prolimatech Megahalems
Noiseblocker 1k-2krpm in push/pull config
Corsair 850w PS
CPU-Z readouts:
Bus speed: 200
Multiplier: 20x
CPU Voltage: 1.424v
When I set the BIOS I left the CPU voltage to "auto".
First, is this a safe voltage? Is it likely I can successfully lower the voltage manually in the BIOS? If I attempt to lower it and it fails will I fry my CPU?
And finally, is there a better/safer/more power efficient way to have the D0 hit 4.0 and be stable? I run SETI, so all cores and threads stay at 100% all the time.
Thanks,
HC
