You sure your ram rated voltage is 1.5V? Is it Mushkin HP3 10666?

@ezzydamvp

Bro based on your siggy, how do you get CL7 for Team Xtreem 1600, because mine stuck at CL8, CPU-Z & Everest shows that, however when I go back to BIOS clearly it was configured at CL7. Another thing does your ROG post screen kinda corrupted when using higher QPI say 3600-4400? Because mine is liek when using high QPI, had to disable the ROG post screen

Haha kinda like the logo but had to turn it off I guess it probably CPU-Z/Everest wont show the correct value. Thanks for the info

Is there anyone here can get BCLK 230-233 on Core i3 530, what is the Vcore & VTT?

It seems I can't go more than 1.5 VTT... Can't boot, I just can do 4.05GHz 225x18 at 1.45 vtt & 1.4 vcore. Prime blend stable. Trying to lower em voltages. Any recommendation on good mobo that can pull off that 250 bclk trick? And what is the suggested QPI when running 225 bclk? I just pick the lowest currently.

Welcome to the club bro Your i7 sold already? What mobo are you using for your core i3 now? Any o/c result so far?

corrected, wow almost the same as me, except the ram, share up your o/c result later

I want 5GHz Dang... I can get 230 bclk, but no ball to make it 230x22=5060

Anyone here can do i3 4GHz+ prime blend stable? 2-10 hours?

Wow followed your settings but my RAM sux, can't play much. Need a cheap gem

I just do 4Ghz, load 65'c only But the ram can't do 2000 even with CL11, I dont want to bump the voltage, risky rather get Dominator GT DDR2000 CL7 and then O/C till 2133 CL9? Well about the temp, maybe if you sponsor me something I could do 4.5

On top of that this poor ram having problem running 1900 9-9-9-24 1.65, memtest 4.00 5-6 passes but prime95 blend will fail in 5-10 minutes or if lucky 20 minutes. Fatal error rounding was 0.5, expected less than 0.4.

RAM or temperature?

I dont know I need 1.7v to play

1866 8-7-8-22 1T

or

1900 9-9-9-24 2T

I wouldn't dare raise higher. Although this kit is CMT, latest revision hardly die... but I just dont wanna spend $$$ anymore if anything

I need to pull out the stick, not sure which... currently doing prime blend

Actually new revision is not for extreme overclocking anymore unlike TR3...

Anyone here with EVGA mobo? Can show some O/C result?

Higher RPM, Higher CFM. Sycthe Slipstream 2000RPM, 110CFM?

That is why I changed from H50 to Venomous X, The H50 is just good for the compact design, and cool enough to cool moderate OC. I'm just using i3, the temp is insane for me at 4GHz, 75'c prime blend. Maybe if the pair of tubes are long enough to take intake from the front, it might get cooler. Changing to heatsink rewarded me generously 10'c cooler

Hmm I did try positioning the inlet-outlet up/down, but not much difference, and for me positioning it on top, did lower the temperature

You will need to specify more on your current hardwares specification for us to help;

CPU: Intel Core i3 ???
Cooler: CM Hyper TX3
RAM: ???
Mobo: Asus P7H55-M Pro?
PSU: Enermax FMAII 460W

how bout

vcore: 1.200v
BCLK: 200
multiplier: 18
QPI: set to 2nd lowest speed in MHz

Leave the rest on auto.

Try at your own risk. This is my settings for 3.6GHz using Maximus III Gene. Could be the same since both yours and mine are Asus mobo.

Try set your

MCH to around 1.35v (do not go over yellow)

if still fail, set your vcore to 1.250



oh ya I forgot to tell you the other basic stuff, go into your CPU configuration in BIOS, and disable all settings such as C1E, Intel Virtualization etc. Except "Intel HT" & "Enable all cores" Refer to this image;



This image is just a reference how the bios would look like for the cpu settings, u might have other or dont have certain configurations available on your BIOS, nevertheless, it won't be much different As you can see most of the settings are enabled by default... and you are gonna disable em

also "CPU spectrum" : Disabled/Off
