Max is 100C and don't worry ur PC will auto shutdown at 100C (overtemp protection set by bios)
U're safe with 3.2Ghz HT on @ vcore < 1.2X v depending on ur chip strength.
I can do 4.4Ghz HT off @ 1.3v on air cooling when max temp hit 82C

LinX


Pime95

If my temp. as such, it would be very very nice. I would be grateful, too bad my setup cannot hold such temperature.. Zzz

You can check my temp. during priming Here. It shows by RealTemp under the Maximum box

so I guess we cannot use the temp provided by those people inside Overclocker.net as reference.

I am on 3.2Ghz w/o HT while typing this finally I've done it.

realtemp (prime95 blend test -- 10 mins)

Min Max
41 57
36 55
40 56
38 55

I wonder why the temp dropped so much? Below are my setting in BIOS

My BIOS setting:
CPU ratio 21x
BCLK 153
PCIE 100
DRAM DDR3-920MHz
UCLK 1841
CPU Voltage 1.15
PLL Voltage 1.80
QPI/DRAM 1.21250


Thanks for owikh84 and gengstapo for the input

Temps lower bcos HT is turned off now
ur temp is still quite good for higher OC
i7 is built to clock at least 4Ghz to show its full potential

I have done an hour of prime95 (small fft) on 3.2Ghz and no error found, so I have decide to OC it to 3.8Ghz
Currently on 3.8Ghz w/o HT and doing the prime95 now. The temp is actually almost same as 3.2Ghz. Hope it is stable on 3.8Ghz
Will update once it past at least an hour of prime95.

Well done. Don't forget to post up some screenshots too.

tailo kevin i wanna ask somethin.
why my 930 idle temperature are about 56c?
im just use stock cooler and using tx2.
edi turn off ht
fyi when i assemble my rig i ter drop my proc about 15 cm high and back of the proc kene lantai
is that cause this prob?
using giga x58aud3r mobo and pls recommend me bios setting for this mobo for 4.0ghz speed.

I believe its normal..

Ur temp is normal. Ambient & casing airflow affects the temp too.
Hmm don't think u can do 4.0Ghz with stock cooler unless in non air cond room.
U might google for "x58aud3r 4ghz bios", just make sure that HT is turned off 1st.
anyway to OC I highly recommend grabbing a good 3rd party cooler ie. Corsair H7O/H5O, Thermalright Venomous-X, etc..
with these coolers, OC is easier & more fun

I did prime95 w/o Aircond for 3.8Ghz. Below are the pic



BIOS setting

CPU ratio 19x
BCLK 200
PCIE 100
DRAM 1603
UCLK 3208
CPU Voltage 1.2v
PLL Voltage 1.8v
QPI/DRAM Voltage 1.21250

I wonder can I lower down the cpu voltage is it fine to lower it down? try to get the optimum voltage/heat for 3.8 first before I move to 4.0
Need some advise here.

Another details screenshot

Suggest to go straight to 4Ghz.
Prime at least 4 hours or LinX for 20 runs.

new user reporting.

thanks kevin for ur help

ur dram timing should be 9-9-9-24-88-1T
and run LinX to the max memory in normal mode or full amount in diagnostic mode
max memory settings, click "All" button or pick the last memory size option from the drop down menu, the "All" option is highly recommended
20 runs should last about 1 hour
for diagnostic mode, go to START menu > Run (or hotkey win logo + R) > type msconfig > diagnostic startup

Ehh, I wonder bout QPI Link thingy
Is there any different between higher & lower value in performance?
In stability, which is recommended?

Thanks~

There are no performance effects of a higher QPI speed on any single socket system I've ever heard of.

QPI has nothing to do with memory performance, CPU performance, or any thing else besides connecting the CPU to the chipset, or to another CPU (in the case of high-end Xeons).

It is possible to take advantage of DDR3-2000+, but you need an extremely high uncore clock. Again, QPI doesn't matter for this.

Slower QPI mode could help in achieving higher BCLK, easier.

What the recommended speed? I dont find any menus in BIOS which allow me to lowered my QPI..

Some high end mobos only. FYI ur cheapo P6T doesn't hv this option.

I tried 4.0Ghz but haven't found the correct BIOS setting yet. Ran prime95(small fft) for 20mins before BSOD and prime95(large fft) for 6mins and 1 worker failed.
BSOD code : 3b --- from what I have found some said it is Uncore/DRAM issue and some said is QPI/DRAM voltage.

My 4.0 BIOS setting:
CPU ratio 21x
BCLK 191
PCIE 100
DRAM 1531
UCLK 3063
CPU voltage 1.2250v
PLL voltage 1.8v
QPI/DRAM voltage 1.2125v

Currently reverted back to 3.8Ghz. Need help here

Ur vcore also might be insufficient.

Ahhaaa, no wonder la I cant find em'..
