Its currently stable at 4.2Ghz, with CPU-Z showing 1.328V for VCore, so I'll probably leave it at that for the moment, see how she gets on. CPU-Z is showing DRAM Voltage at 1.650v, and appears stable running 4.2Ghz, so since VCore - for the moment - is staying at 1.328, I'll leave DRAM at 1.65v.
The 3960x I have seems to be less power hungry than most - I'm certainly not complaining about that (!) - a fact that others have commented on in the past. I have not had any adverse reaction from the BOINC applications I Crunch, and if the change to 4.2Ghz needed further VCore and DRAM voltage on mine, it would - Very - quickly show in the running of the CPU Work Units, it hasn't yet over the last 24hrs.
So my thoughts are to leave the voltage(s) as is for the current 4.2Ghz setting. All that seem logical, or am I missing something ?
