ah my bad, IMC set to 1.35 dang, gigabyte is haunting me of ya don't forget to refer above post for more

Yeah if possible dont go over the red, for me I have normal-yellow-red risk level indicator, 1.35 is still normal for me...

yellow is okay but not recommended, try 1.25 then if not increase to 1.3

2 hours should be ok already... for the prime, as per RattleSnake suggestion you might want to try lower your voltages for a bit, thats if your current OC has proven stable 1st.

You might also try LinX 20 runs

Of course the ram will match the appropriate ratio, which in your case is lowest due to increase in BCLK. You can change the ram ratio. But the problem is you wont get 1333, the higher value than your current speed would be 1600 I suppose, so if you want to overclock your ram... It's up to you. Do note the risk of doing so

You might want to consider performance ddr3 later, for more headroom in overclocking

Anyone with i3 530~661 or above with 4.5GHz benchmark?

The article shows that the reviewer got 4.4GHz with just 1.344v? Heck I need 1.356 for 4.27GHz

moreover 4.5GHz is not recommended? I believe with 4.4GHz stable at 1.344v, a few notches up for the vcore will do it right, just to get 4.5GHz?

Is my assumption is not right here?

Did u set the DRAM voltage manually or auto?

I guess you could try set the DRAM voltage to as much as when u oc the ram to 1600mhz and see if it boots. Then you try drop the voltages. It's possible that your ram need more voltage to run at 14xx.

based on that article for p55 UD7, what is "Bios Vcore" shows on the overclocking table? do you have it on p55 ud6? and what is your current or default skew for both pch/mch? and also clock amplitude?

It seems so, and prime95 1 hour doesn't really prove stability. Run small FFT for processor-only-stress-test and blend for system stability.

Try prime at least for 7-8hours, but don't exceed critical temperature

How do I know my uncore speed on maximus iii gene?

Dram DATA Ref Voltage On CHA
Dram CTRL Ref Voltage On CHA
Dram DATA Ref Voltage On CHB
Dram CTRL Ref Voltage On CHB

On certain ASUS mobo in bios settings, it says tweaking those are gonna help in overlocking RAMs, but do you guys actually use that? In most circumstances these are set to AUTO. So can anyone explain how the increment in milivolt(?) will help? Also how much maximum mV is on the safe margin to tweak?

I'm a sissy when it comes to overclocking RAM... they always die in my case

Overclocking CPU, I can go with try & error.

I'm asking for exact figure for tweaking Dominator GT 1866 C9 CMT Kit on Maximus III Gene BIOS 1801, I can boot them at 2000MHz@9-11-9-27 1.65v into windows 7 64bit but after awhile will BSOD even not yet stress it. I have tried to increase the voltage to 1.75 but it is still the same. BTW TurboV shows that all the DRAM CTRL/DATA Ref voltages are 0V, yes 0.

Btw abg, you banyak mobo uh? I tot u use MSI or something

hengmy is using Dom GT CMG kit which is better at overclocking than my CMT kit

hengmy, u can come to my house and see for yourself, my ram can't do much

p/s: sell me your ram by installment RM150/month

Technically I don't know. As for overclocking and from what I read on other forums/websites, most Dom GT overclockers are using CMG kit

You are going to need a big jump of voltage for 4.2GHz, I'm on 4.27@1.37v. Usually the temp will increase by 10'c but this will depend on various situation.

Usually I'll use small fft for CPU only stress and then blend for CPU-RAM stress.

Small fft test will stress your cpu temperature hotter than the blend test.

hengmy, is that P55-UD6? Heh you always change your stuff You're using A-Data now? Already sold the Dom GT eh? Heh nice stuff there, wish I have lots of $ to try and overclock things

1. Doesn't matter, if you can do high BCLK, low multiplier, or low BLCK, max multiplier, both ways pretty much the same. High BCLK may requires more core voltage and MCH voltage.

2. Lowest guarantees stability. Try to match the QPI to the default QPI or nearest.

Yea but I rather wait though, it seems everything is so fast in computing. I just stick with 1156 at the moment. Don't have the luxury to change yet.

I'm just using the cheapest core i3 530, take a look at my signature. Easily past over 4GHz. But going more than 4.4GHz is kind of hard. May require water cooling.
