anyways. does 1.4v seems like a awfull lot on a E6600 running on a P5W DH Deluxe. The CPU is running at 3.0 ghz. maybe i have the same problem with the vdroop and all. didnt understand that bit
Run Core Temp, or real Temp, and list what the VID is of the processor. That is the established factory voltage for your chip at stock speeds, when Vdrop and droop are applied it will be lower actual.
To check VDrop and droop, get the VID, return to stock, manually enter the VID voltage as the Bios voltage, disable speed step, disable C1E, disable any eist junk, disable spread spectrum...
Boot to windows, and run CPUz, and look at the current Core Voltage after windows has booted, and idled down. That will show your Vdrop, the difference from Bios VCore to idle windows.
Next, run Prime 95 small ffts on all cores and after 1 minute, note the lowest value you see CPUz show your core voltage as!
Waiting for me, huh? I suggest the newer Bios anyways, but try this.
Load Line Calibration enabled.
memory mode to linked, memory frequency Sync Mode. (Will make the RAM run at twice the speed of the FSB.) And then set the QDR (FSB) to 1600. (QDR Is quad pumped FSB. So 1600 divided by 4 = 400)
Set the CPU ratio to x8, and manually set Trd in the memory timings area to 7.
Voltages! I say you re test with the new Bios, using Load Line Calibration, because on that board, it should at least get rid of vdroop, which will help alot.
Without LLC working, you will have to set the Bios VCore way higher than it actually needs or will get in windows.
Set the VCore to 1.4500 in the Bios, that will be 1.3250 while loaded or there abouts. Enough for 3.2 Ghz with yer VID. Or pretty close. PLL can be on Auto, VTT try 1.30, North Bridge at 1.40 The rest should be fine on Auto.
You may need to change the CPU GLT VREF to + 50 Mv again, as those boards seem to need fine tuning!

Every thing went fine and I was able to boot windows but when I run Small FFT test on Prime 95 the temps goes high very quickly (up to 70/71) and due to high temp the conputer just hang and reboot.
Hmmm, what was your cooling again? And that was just a test! You need to tell me what the Idle voltage was while resting in windows, and then test it with small FFTs and see what the minimum is it reduces to!
I was being a bit over zealous on the VCore for a reason. To make sure it worked on the first try. It will be able to be reduced a bit. Prolly a fair bit. But you should disable all the CPU options just for the time being, so no thermal management kicks in and makes it slug out, or reduce speed, or cut the Multiplier, etc.
how I can get "what the Idle voltage was while resting in windows"
"But you should disable all the CPU options just for the time being, so no thermal management kicks in and makes it slug out, or reduce speed, or cut the Multiplier, etc. " all of this is disabled
