LGA1156/P55/H55/H57 vs LGA1366/X58
user posted image

BCLK (Base Clock) - To keep things as simple as possible, this is the setting that we will be increasing to achieve our desired overclock. The default value for our 920 processor is 133.
QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) - The QPI connects the processor to the In Out Hub (IOH) - In other words, it is the way that your processor talks to the rest of your system.
Multipliers (Multis) and Dividers - As with previous platforms, i7 uses multipliers and dividers, but the way that i7 differs is that there are several of them for various things. For example, your CPU has a default multiplier (Multi) of 21x and there is a multiplier for the memory and the UnCore
UnCore - This is simply any part of the processor that is not the core, such as the memory controller or cache
Turbo Mode - is quite a complex feature, but to sum it up, if enabled, it will give you an extra multi, so on our 920, we get 21x instead of 20x
Vcore - This is just another term for the main CPU Voltage.

Software:
CPU-Z 1.59
LinX 0.6.4 - 10.3.9.015
Intel BurnTest 2.52
RealTemp 3.66 - works for 6 cores
CoreTemp 1.0 RC2
HWiNFO32 3.70
Prime95 32-Bit 27.1
Prime95 64-Bit 27.1
SuperPI Mod XS 1.5
HyperPI 0.99 Beta
AIDA64 2.00.1700
Cinebench 11.5

BSOD codes for overclocking:
QUOTE
0x101 = increase vcore
0x124 = increase vcore
0x0A = unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase vcore
0x1E = increase vcore
0x3B = increase vcore
0x3D = increase vcore
0xD1 = QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary, can also be unstable Ram, raise Ram voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
0x109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage
0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)
0x7E = Corrupted OS file, possibly from overclocking. Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r

But I still failed at 2000mhz DRAM C7. other than just bumping up the vdimm to 1.65V and changing dram frequency/latency to 2000mhz 7-7-7-20 T1. The rest i left it at auto. should i be bumping up the VTT too? or could it the RAM all the while??

for 2100 7-7-7-20-1T (lower tRCD rather than 7-8-7-20-1T)
change read to read and write to write (same ranks) from 4 to 6.

tried setting to 1.66Vdimm. then after booting into windows, 6gb turned to 4gb. but after i set it back to 1.51V, all 6gb shows.....

I don't like the look of it....

for 1600 C6.. for Pheonix bios at bclk 200 is arond 46,49,50/51 for uncore 3.2
and for 4.2 u can do 58,60,61/62

2k c7 try 7-8-7-20 first at 1.6-1.61v bios set rtl 53/54,55/56/57,58 combi.. hmm with a weak imc actually advice to do 55,57,58

the new bios is more fussy about rtl channel C.

not 24/7 settings, for ddr3 1900, could not pass prime95 25.9 (64 bit), custom test with 5500mb memory (128-4096 FFT) in diag mode. Keep getting freezing problem after 2-3 hours run. But it pass LinX 20 loops easily. Still fine tuning it. Might try to prime 1866mhz later if cant get 1900 fully prime stable.

cstkl1, how do u calculate the RTL... I using the excel spreadsheet from anandtech now to set the RTL. Any information to share on getting correct RTL ?

3) No typical values per se, although most of the time the memory controller prefers channel B and C to be offset by a few clocks past A. So channel B is generally +2~3 clocks and Channel C +3~5 clocks over the Channel A value. Assuming trace lengths are well matched between slots the need for such offset lies within the memory controller (although capacitance of serpentine traces may come into play at higher frequency).

wow.. nice link there... think more forumers should read them if wanna clock ram.

now running 1866mhz with prime95 128-4096fft 5500mb custom test, hopefully can pass 4 hours stability test at least, then I will use it as my 24/7 settings. Damn R3E for no cooling on vtt pwm on stock cooling. Will try fusion block later to test if it does bring the board temp down, maybe by bringing down cpu pwm and chipset temp down, it will reduce the vtt pwm as well because the PCB has less hotspot.

Temporarily outta budget to get FB. laugh.gif

Or is it worth to invest a FB for R3E ? Or i am good to go with Fusion block... ??? unsure.gif

Add on : anyone knw which settings mostly causing the system to BSOD after 2-3 hours of prime95 ? all my settings pass LinX well... now trying with 1866mhz in diag mode.

if ur playing below 4k uncore no problem i guess .
max i think the board could handle with no FB is around 1.5v VTT ?
above that is considered too hot already for me .
now running 1.41v for 4k uncore .
still no time to test . gotta play around with CUDA cause its my FYP >.<"

ic... burnt SLI micro at 1.55 vtt last round sweat.gif

now the limitation to go 2k dram is my ram chip, if want get fully stable need to run cl10 i guess... voltage requirement for 2k cl9 is too high for this chip, around 1.8 +/-. Too high for x58.

CL10 2k dram 4k uncore seems a bit slow... now still priming on 1866@cl9. cant pass the 3-4 hours mark.. keep getting freezing problem. Will try adjust TFAW as owikh suggest after work laugh.gif

Just an update of the RTL combi stated by cstkl1 for try out

DRAM 2000mhz 7-8-7-20 T1 @ 1.61Vdimm and 1.425VTT

54-56-58 = 1 worker error after 45 minutes. Ran this RTL twice, and failure timing were consistent

54-57-58 = 1 worker error in 1 minute

54-55-58 = Only 2Gb memory detected

53-56-58 = 1 worker error in 1 minute

53-55-58 = 1 worker error in 1 minute

53-57-58 = 1 worker error in 1 minute

54-56-59 = 1 worker error in 1 minute

55-57-58 = 1 worker error in 1 minute


so it seems like RTL 54-56-58 is the one that could bring me the furthest. Gonna try 55-56-58 later.

its a insufficient vdimm.

no use that same rtl 54,56,58 first.. ( later tweak it to 54,56,57 (bios 74).. ( then try again to 53,55,56)
but change ure vdimm to 1.62v set

u guys seriously need to understand fft's of prime.

do this
prime 95
set custom
set small fft to 128 and large fft to 4096
test atleast 5400mb


eh now for 2150 i am running 60,62,63 C8
and 2000 C7 at 53,55,56

also all hypers that i have tested always are in even number vdimm's.. for 2k's
only those that i have seen on classy's that are not is on the e759.. the first batch classy with nf200 triple sli

btw to me ure first 45 prime.. is a 15 mins fail prime..
try to understand fft's 8,10 is not what u want now
blend custom's are to get overall switches in phases, voltages, stressing different components

u want uncore and ram with cpu
so do that custom i posted above
u just need around 4 hours of that

wow, this 950 is not bad.
but pls show us the other CPU-Z tabs ie. mobo & dram tabs.
or use CPU Tweaker.

I got a problem. I tried to fix my sound card in the 3rd PCIe slot and my GC in the 1st PCIe slot but then my display went wrong. I can't set it to High resolution anymore. (I think the bandwidth become 8x)

I remove my sound card from the 3rd PCIe slot - Display became normal.

This mean I can't fix 2 cards in different PCIe slot if I'm not doing CF.

Is there any way, I can use both PCIe for different purpose?

By the way, my mobo is DFI DK, Thanks~

What about another PCIe slot? Try swapping between all those 3 slots.
Reinstall gc driver after installing sound card?
The board should be able to run gc+sc at any slot w/o issues.

ok just to make sure the correct slots are numbered as follows

PCIE 1 (16x)
PCIE (4x)
PCIE 3 (8x/16x)
PCI
PCIE 2 (8x/16x)
PCI


plug in either the 4x or PCIE 3.
and not pcie 2.

1. You can check the bandwidth using softwares like GPU-Z
2. This looks to be a motherboard specific problems. PCI-E 1x, 4x, 9x, 11x or whatever "x" will work on PCI-E slots as they are using the same interface
3. I have my 5870 on the 3rd PCI- E slot and sound card on 2nd PCI-E slot and it works fine, no problems. Even my R2E didn't gave me problems moving the PCI-E sound cards to different slots

Not so efficient IMC, but maybe its also depends on ram chipset ???

the rams were using micron D9KPV, which based on old tech ddr3. Not as good as new ddr3 chips.

But not bad for a value ram to deliver this speed thumbup.gif

@Owikh, I tried every slot with every possible combination but hardly found a working one except for the one Cstkl suggested. Iinm, this is a default PCIe bandwidth setting for DFI mobos.

Anyway, the pickle is, I'm planning on fixing a T-Rad2 for my HD5870, it's a tri slot cooler and this board just made it hard for me to fix the GC and the SC in the order I desired.

My initial plan is to fix in the GC+T-Rad2 in 1st slot and my SC will go into the 2nd slot (slot numbers are followed as referred by bro Cstkl).

But the only configuration left for me is fixing my SC in PCIe (4x) and my GC in the 3rd slot. Since I'm using CM690, fixing my GC in the 2nd slot is quite impossible since the space is not enough for my T-Rad2.

Is there any chance for me to Mod the Bandwidth settings?
Anybody, have any solution for this.. Thanks~

I think this is a common bandwidth setting for DFI mobos, iinm, DFI UT have the same configuration of bandwidth between it's PCIe slot.

Spend some time with R3e Last two days

hmm ok this is the big difference on bandwidth r3e vs classy

basic..
classy main bandwidth on reduction of Cl on equal ram speed is the RTL's
rather than the subtimings of Read to Write
r3e gains bandwidth from lower Read to write than classy

uncore 4k dram 2000

R3e - RTL for any CL on R3e is best at 58,60,61
Classy - CL7 is at 53,56,58,CL8 is 58,60,61 CL9 is 61,63,64 etc


on CL8's the R3e is faster.. but when it comes to CL7 classy bandwidth is higher with lower latency


uncore 4k dram 1600
this is where the classy starts kicking r3e butt on latency
R3e - RTL 64,60,61.. on any CL's is optimum
EVGA - CL7= 2k C9 rtl's, CL6 = 2k C8 rtl's , CL5 = 2k C7's RTL's,

Vdimm Scaling
I am assuming this is the reason for r3e.. its because of the Read to Writes

r3e = 2k C8 = 1.52v , 2k C7 1.6v
classy = 2k C8 1.5v , 2k C7 1.6v
r3e = 1600 C6 1.5v.. and overclocking on this fixed preset is the same classy on vdimm
classy = 1600 C6 = 1.5v
ok this where i cheesed of with r3e
normally in any other mobo ure 2k C8 = 1866 C7 = 1600 C6 same vdimm.

Conclusion
And here is actually the cool part about r3e
Pro's of R3e
Its easier to clock 2000 compared to classy as the rtl's are more or less the same all out. So just the vdimm and ure qpi voltage for ure 2k rams.
Cons of R3e
Above CL8.. on 2k .. not going to make much of a difference.

and owikh is king of bantai voltage

vantage first benefit of scoring from overclocking comes in i7 920

1. GPU
2. Mem bandwidth ( take note i didnt say mem speed.. but bandwidth)
3. CPU uncore
4. Cpu speed.

i still havent found a way to measure the benefit of high qpi

I mean the CPU score for both comparison. I dont know if GPU affecting the CPU score..

i7 920@ 3.8Ghz vs i7 930@ 2.9Ghz

Does the RAM divider thinggy really affect such huge performance?? hmm.gif

Yes, GPU affecting CPU score,
on the same GC but different clocks and different GCs it will give different CPU score
Both ur 920 & 930 setups are quite different to each other.
core, HT, uncore, dram, GPU, voltage are all different etc...

Effect of GPU on Vantage CPU Score:

^ Hmm Im just comparing the CPU score tongue.gif But since GPU also affecting CPU score, then just leave it. Darn, time to upgrade GPU?? laugh.gif laugh.gif

Btw, I do increase my clock from 3.22Ghz@ 1.18V till 3.8Ghz@ 1.18V seems to be stable(passed LinX atleast) but at 4Ghz, the voltage 1.18V appear BSOD. Do I need to raise the CPU voltage alone or the others voltage also need increment, such QPI, DRAM, IOH etc?

Current setup(BIOS):-

CPU Clock: 201x19
CPU Voltage: 1.18V
QPI Link: 1.28V
IOH: 1.18V
DRAM Voltage: 1.60V

for i7, you need higher vcore for 20x multiplier. you can try 21x multiplier to get lower stable voltage.

yeah... 950 got 24x, but I using 23x if want to go high clock, but now also using 21x... since going 190*23 require too much vcore. Not really a good batch... but still consider ok for me, atleast it can do 4.2 - 4.3, can 4k uncore capable with my D9KPV value rams. icon_rolleyes.gif

OK guys, I have a problem in using bclk 200MHz.

I can get my 197MHz x 20, Vcore 1.27 Bios (1.31 CPU-z), 1.31 VTT and 1.65Vdimm pass Linx 20 runs no problem.

But yesterday I tried 200MHz x20,x19 and x18 but couldn't get it to past limx for more than 50 seconds.
I pumped the Vcore until 1.32v but got nothing, then I push the VTT to 1.37 (Vdimm 1.68 constant) but no improvement whatsoever.

The thing is, no matter what settings I use, if it involves 200MHz bclk then my screen will freeze after running Linx for 30-50 seconds.

I tried one of the bro Cstkl settings but it improves nothing.


QUOTE
First Test
Vcore
Program : linx 0.5.8

Config :
bclk 200 ,multi 20 ,uncore 2400, dram 1200 ,HT off first.
vdimm at stock, qpi at stock,EIST/TM/C1 etc etc all disabled
also since ure running gtx295 make sure u set 512mb more than ure 1792mb so i guess 2304mb.
6 channel interleave, 4 channel interleave, leave dram at 2n 8-8-8-24 tRFC 88

test ure cpu vcore with this always at 1.25,1.2625,1.275,1.28750,1.3,1.31250,1.3250 etc
the inbetween causes more instability.Proven in many mobos.

pass linx 10 rounds. reboot and try again. atleast twice

Second test
VTT
Program : Prime95 25.8-25.9 64xbit


Config :
set dram to 1600mhz qpi to 3200mhz dram at 1.65v-1.68v , vtt at 1.26-1.36v
set prime95 to large fft and then custom change from run fft to atleast 5.4gb
for ioh/ich voltage, ioh analogue, ich voltage
try this combi either 1.11,1.10,1.05 / 1.21,1.2,1.15

U need to pass atleast the full 1024mb and 896mb full 15 of each.

Notice the errors u get for more vdimm and vtt. Later find the exact ratio aka difference between vdimm and vtt. This will help u in later overclocking for higher ram speeds.

Once u pass reboot and retry again. atleast 3 times.

then try with better ram timing

Test 3
reconfirm ure ioh/ich, ioh analogue, ich 1.05 voltage
Run hyperpi 32m 4 threads, 8 threads, and then 16 threads

Make sure u can pass it atleast twice one after the other
and then pass again upon reboot twice again.

This is how i clocked

the others err ram timing a bit more complicated. more to feel.


Again, the screen freezed on my initial run for the first test. It's the same all over again~

Everything done on my DK in diagnostic mode.
i7 920 D0 with megashadow Push/pull, 6GB Dominator 1600MHz cl7 ver2.2, DFI DK, HD5870, Acbel M8 750w.

I pumped the Vcore until 1.32v but got nothing, then I push the VTT to 1.37 (Vdimm 1.68 constant) but no improvement whatsoever.

The thing is, no matter what settings I use, if it involves 200MHz bclk then my screen will freeze after running Linx for 30-50 seconds.

I tried one of the bro Cstkl settings but it improves nothing.
Again, the screen freezed on my initial run for the first test. It's the same all over again~

Everything done on my DK in diagnostic mode.
i7 920 D0 with megashadow Push/pull, 6GB Dominator 1600MHz cl7 ver2.2, DFI DK, HD5870, Acbel M8 750w.

Try this:-

Enable "Load-line Calibration" thingy IF avail. in BIOS
Set IOH & ICH to 1.2V for both
QPI Voltage to 1.32V raise again IF fail by 1 stage, or just shoot for 1.35V.. laugh.gif laugh.gif
VDimm just need around 1.64V

geng use more ram

trust me..
if u run in diagnostic mode with nothing on .. u can linx around 5518

this is like freaking hard..
i can pass like 5400 etc for 100 runs
but will hang on this sometimes on 3 run lol..

and normally tweaking minor and ram settings etc..

I don't think there's LLC for DFI mobos. But I did search for it and didn't find it.
I'm sorry but can you explain to me the logic of pushing the IOH and ICH voltage? Thanks~

If it overheats to be dead, probably there would be irremovable marks that can invalidate warranty right? Not a good idea laugh.gif

Hi all,
I'm new to OC here. Had read few forum about OC'ing i7 and thinking of doing it this weekend. Below are my desktop's components

i7 930 (CPU cooler - VX w/ a 12cm cm fan)
P6X58D-E (BIOS ver 0303)
Corsair (3X2) - CMX6GX3M3C 1600 C7
Casing - CM II 690 Adv

first of all, I would like to know are my cpu's cores temp normal. Everything on stock and not inside AC room.

realtemp reading (w/ HT)
low high
44 45
39 40
43 44
41 42

I did tried to disable the HT but I just can see the difference of 1c for all the cores compare to w/ HT. rclxub.gif rclxub.gif is that normal ???
Need some advise here icon_question.gif

The core temps look quite normal at idle state.
They're relaxing when idle ~0% proc usage be it w/ or w/o HT
Once load u will see a huge difference.

Thanks for the input.
So those temp are normal. I have ran prime95 blend test for 10 minutes and the temp were WOW shocking.gif

realtemp w/ HT (full load)

I think 75C is the CPU threshold right? sweat.gif


Just want to know is it save for me to OC to 3.2 first on this weekend ? due to the heat sweat.gif

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 nod.gif

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 laugh.gif laugh.gif

shocking.gif 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 rclxms.gif rclxms.gif 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

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 smile.gif
Will update once it past at least an hour of prime95.

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.

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 biggrin.gif

Prime at least 4 hours or LinX for 20 runs.

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

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.

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 icon_question.gif icon_question.gif

Guys first time overclocker here,

My hardware:
Core i7 930
Asus Rampage II Extreme
Corsair Dominator GT 1600 2x2gb

Stable after running prime for 5 hours.
With Hyper Threading ON ( If turn off I know can get cooler temperature, but any disavantages for gaming?)

Below are my screenshot,
One thing I dont understand is the ram timing, what timing should I use?

HT advantage/disadvantage depends on games, but the difference is pretty much negligible ~1% favorably HT off.
For me, I'd turn off HT and OC core clock higher since turning off HT will reduce core temps by huge margin.
But when it comes to 8-thread intensive apps, this HT feature will show its advantage.
From ur 3rd pic, it shows that ur dram is rated at 8-8-8-24 ~1.65v
But where's the 5 hours stability screenshot? hmm.gif
Btw, u can combine all the CPU-Z tabs into one screen by multi launching the app a few times at the same time.

Played with this batch b4.. core 4.2Ghz HT off, uncore 4.2Ghz @ 1.275v.
For me it performs like any other 920 D0's

anyway depends on ur dram and mobo as well bro.. in my case I'm using DomGT 2kc7 and Classy
vcore @ 1.275v, vtt @ 1.425v, altho not as low as my current 920 which requires 1.25vcore and 1.4vtt only.

Had ran 5 hours of prime95 large fft and it was stable so far biggrin.gif
I have to raised the CPU voltage to 1.23125v as suggested by you rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Attach pic when I started the prime95 test yesterday
Attached Image

forget to screenshot it after I woke up doh.gif
Do I need to run more hours for prime95 to find stability ?


Edit : BSOD after 2 hours of gaming rclxub.gif rclxub.gif
BCcode : a
It seems like it is the same issue with BCcode : 3b I guess.
Should I just adding more Vcore to run next test or keep the Vcore and add some QPI/DRAM voltage to test it out?

Let the 5-hour priming screenshot prove stability,
BSOD means ur OC is not stable yet.. try upping more voltages ie. vCore, vQPI/RAM (vtt) etc.. try and error.
Large FFT is meant to determine ur max heat, power consumption, stress some ram only. Use custom blend on 5400MBs of ram to stress core, uncore & dram entirely. U will fail in 5mins, 30mins, 1 hour, 2, 3 etc...

try and increase you cpu/vtt notch by notch..

and for your rams, try 9-9-9-24/88 1T or 2T..do some linx test 20 times..the size of memory should be ALL

Going to overclock my 930 soon. Thinking of the following combination for watercooling:

EK Supreme HF
XSPC RX 240 (my current case is CM690)
Laing D5

Don't think I'm buying reservoir. Budget kinda tight. Is the reservoir needed? Won't be cooling gpu yet, so this will just be the loop.

What you guys think?

yeah, you can build a setup without reservoir. just use the tube to fill your loop.

It's best to have a reservoir but of course there are always smart people that tries to do wonders smile.gif Humans can live with one kidney as well but I'm sure you know it's not optimal.

Or maybe to keep things in budget I should get a cheaper pump and a reservoir? But getting a cheaper pump will mean compromising quite a lot in cooling performance I think.

Is the D5 too strong for a single loop for cpu only?

btw what about other games?
From what I heard SC2 will crash on some custom map
Bad GPU driver also can cause BSOD.

From what i've experienced when win7 goes to sleep mode it wont cause BSOD. It will stop prime test until you awake your pc. Anyway I always make win7 never sleep when I do prime test.

Last time you guys have told me that turning on HT will decrease Linx Gflops. Last time I'm just using low core clock and HT does give higher Gflops. Now I clocked to 3.4GHz, using HT reduces the Gflops by 10. Lol...

Voltages do affect GFlops as well bro.

If voltage would affect Gflops, does it mean that an undervoltage, can cause more errors but just that the error is self-recoverable within the processor?

We need semicon engineer to explain about this though. tongue.gif

Err I dont know hoe to reply this sweat.gif
As far as I remember, when I run my i7 at stock setting, I could resume my machine from sleep(at this point the BIOS option working), but after I overclock, seems it just likely "hang" on resuming windows(I didnt change any setting on BIOS, only configuration for overclocking)..

I wouldn't call it as an calculation error. It is about the correlation between GFlops and voltage efficiency.
The most efficient voltage will yield the most optimal performance.
LinX is used more for figuring out if u're close to optimal, efficient vCore.

I assume optimal Vcore is varying according to core speed?

If lets say 1.15V is optimal but 1.10V is already enough for stability; would 1.15V produce lesser heat since it should be efficient?

It's not a bug but it's called the Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST)
To do 200x20=4.0Ghz u hv to turn off this CPU feature in BIOS.
EIST will bump ur multi from 20x to 21x that's why u got 200x21= 4.2Ghz

Eek. 3.6GHz is just 2C higher. Stock cooler or ...?

C0, HT on, 3.6GHz, 1.176V:

Your screenshot makes me think that my heatsink is running abnormally. Mine is D0, HT off, 3.36GHz, 1.05V.

I'm currently using Kingston HyperX 6Gb 2000mhz but not overclocking my pc till I get my watercooling.

Feel like tightening the ram timings but dont know which values I should adjust and what values I should adjust them to.

Goes up to 89C at 3.6GHz@1.10V (BIOS) without HT. sad.gif

The core temperatures look quite imbalanced. First I thought was bad mounting but I already pushed it very well in.

Added on October 22, 2010, 1:49 pmTried 3.6GHz HT on. Very disappointed with the temperature when compared to cstkl1's rig. My uncore speed is already lower than his but yet so much hotter.

Some of the reasons why u got different temps:
Diff proc diff exothermic
Environment (aircond/none)
Casing airflow
Extra active cooling (table fan)
Thermal compd (TIM)
voltages, VTT, etc...

Solution:
Get an aftermarket cooler and clock at least 4Ghz

Understanding EVGA X58 Classified Voltages

CPU VTT: Stock VTT voltage defaults to 1.17V or so. The scale runs in 10mv steps, allowing you to add or subtract from the base value. VTT voltage drives the integrated memory controller and the QPI link bus. This voltage will need to be increased as you increase memory frequency and increase BCLK (QPI frequency). Remember to keep this voltage within 0.5V of VDIMM to prevent damage to the integrated memory controller.

CPU PLL VCore: 1.8V base; we found no benefits to increasing this voltage for overclocking. Clean power to PLL circuits is essential for ensuring that external influences over the accuracy of clock signals is minimized. It seems EVGA have done a good job with regards to all PLL voltage rails on the Classified. In terms of overclocking headroom and PLL's, clean power always trumps more voltage, thus there's no need to tinker with these voltages to any great extent on this board, apart from perhaps QPI PLL. Even then, you'll probaby find the level of voltage required for maximum BCLK potential is far below what some other boards need to get the same clocks...

IOH PLL VCore: Input/Output Hub Phase Locked Loop voltage. The default voltage is 1.8V. For the most part this voltage can be left at stock unless chasing maximum QPI frequencies for benchmarking. For 24/7 use we recommend you stick with a maximum of 1.89V. Processors/IOHs needing more than 1.89V to remain stable are best run at a lower BCLK and higher CPU multiplier to bring them back into their comfort zone.

QPI PLL VCore: Quick Path Interconnect Phase Locked Loop voltage. For 24/7 overclocking this voltage can be left at stock in most instances. Again, if you need to use more it's probably wise to pull back a little on QPI frequency to a speed that requires no more than 1.2V. For benchmarking, we used 1.45V to reach 239 BCLK for a CPU-Z shot.

IOH VCore: Input/Output Hub voltage uses a 1.10V base. Stock values usually suffice for 24/7 overclocking even when using multiple graphics cards; we had no problems in reaching a stable 200 BCLK X20 for 4GHz CPU speed. For more extreme QPI frequencies this voltage will need to be increased. For 3D benchmarking past 220 BCLK we used 1.45V. We needed 1.50V to reach 239 BCLK. Values over 1.50V failed to POST or locked up in the OS; use only as much voltage as you need.

IOH/ICH I/O Voltage: IOH to Intel Southbridge termination voltage. We left this voltage at stock and did not see any overclocking improvements from increasing it on this board. Base value is 1.50V.

ICH VCore: 1.05V base voltage; again this voltage can be left at default.

NF200 Voltage: 1.2V stock. We left this voltage at stock for all overclocking.

VTT PWM Frequency: Changes the switching frequency of the VTT voltage line. Higher switching frequencies can help facilitate lower output ripple, and reduce overshoot while providing a higher frequency power bandwidth to the CPU. Setting a higher frequency with this BIOS option may improve overclocking headroom somewhat depending on the current drawn. For overclocking past 220 BCLK we generally used 490KHz; for speeds below this a 250KHz switching frequency worked fine for us and also reduces the heat output from the PWM FETs.

CPU PWM Frequency: CPU PWM (VCore supply) switching frequency. Stock is 800KHz, which is more than sufficient for 99% of overclocking. For subzero benchmarking you may wish to increase the switching frequency to see if it helps stability during heavy 8-thread CPU loads. The side effect in doing so is increased heat from the power FETs, although the temperature increase is quite small due to the use of a 10-phase power delivery circuit, especially as the FETs are indirectly cooled via the CPU power plane when the processor temperature is well into the negative region.

CPU Impedance: Sets the level of signal compensation for the QPI bus to the CPU. Higher QPI frequencies often demand a higher signal current, which means that compensation levels have to be changed in order to counter any signal line reflections caused by PCB traces and input impedance mismatches. The options available for this function are AUTO and Less. On the Classified, we found that QPI frequencies approaching 4GHz can benefit from a reduction in setting Less, even more so if the CPU frequency is well above 4.5GHz. Leave at AUTO for most 24/7 overclocking at BCLKs under 200MHz. For subzero cooling at high system speeds, set this value to Less to see if it helps with overclocking headroom.

QPI Compensation: Sets the level of signal compensation for the QPI bus to the IOH. There are three options for this function, those being AUTO, Less, and More. We found that IOH compensation is far more sensitive to changes in compensation values than the CPU. A setting of Less for high BCLKs and QPI frequencies almost always brings about additional system stability during benchmarking (at least in our experience). For all other purposes, this value can be left to AUTO.

My computer had total freeze without BSOD. Returning to stock voltage and clock will still give random freeze. I deteriorated the processor/motherboard? It can still pass Linx and Folding@home as long as possible until random freeze occur again.

No BSOD=No logs. No idea what caused instability.

theres a issue with one of the updates on windows 7 with HPEt timing
i am also looking into these

also troubleshoot by replacing the Linx linpack files from intel.

ur IOH=1.35v is too high for 200x19. Only play with IOH if BCLK > 200.
Most of the time just let it auto.

For R3E, if you take out the stock heatsink, you will see yellow piece of lousy thermal paste, which are causing high temps, you can try to reapply the thermal paste on the stock heatsink, you will see improvements for sure.

i dont really see much different between stock speed and OC..

i running 3d mark vantage, at stock it give 21000 mark for cpu

when oc to 4ghz it give 3000 extra more. more heat, more power jz for 3000 mark.

3000 points are huge gain bro. What digits do u expect in this synthetic benchmark? sweat.gif
This increase in speed can make ur day to day tasks run quicker and any number crunching such as compression, folding or video encoding or even Photoshop processing should be more fluid and less time consuming.
There are many benchmark reviews out there pls go read up HERE

One easy real life test you can do is by installing Windows smile.gif You can try installing Windows with your stock i7 CPU speed versus an overclocked speed. I'm pretty sure you can then tell the difference.

the only reason why i buy i7 is to play Civ 5, when i play using 965BE is take 5-10 sec to load turn. i thought i7 would be faster but i guess it juz the same. or i mistaken something.

For me,

Buy a new PC just for playing a certain game = BIG NO NO

Buy a new PC because the current PC is too old = YES

In my case, purchasing i7 gives me a huge satisfaction as I'm upgrading from P4 3.0 GHz with Nvidia TNT Riva 2 32 MB (LOL) to i7 950 HD 5870. So I can see a definite result there.

Just installed my water cooling loop and I'm beginning my overclocking! Wish me luck! biggrin.gif

Added on October 30, 2010, 2:13 amI followed settings from http://www.overclock.net/intel-motherboard...tml#post8435147

And am currently Priming at 4Ghz. So far temps are (60,56,56,54) highest after 1 hour.

Think I want to try pushing to more. I still have room for temp right?

why my vantage score is 18k?
is it coz i use windows 7 32 bit?
my gpu score is 15k plus and cpu is 18k plus.
using i7 930 4.01ghz and 5850 stock clock.
already test my stability system using occt at 8 hours no bluescreen.

the ioh skew part is just a testing phase as manage to do 253 bclk on R3e when its slighly slowed down to cpu skew


yeah yeah i know sham been preaching that the both pll's must be insynced etc
now back to benching since got interesting settings now

this makes the evga board back on top

Currently just finished Priming 4.6Ghz. One of the cores had an error after 3 hours,60 tests. The others worked fine for 12 hours total. I have already increased cpu voltage 2 notches since the last similar error. Currently cpu voltage is at 1.41v and qpi is at 1.25v. Any ideas on what should I do?

For R3E, if you take out the stock heatsink, you will see yellow piece of lousy thermal paste, which are causing high temps, you can try to reapply the thermal paste on the stock heatsink, you will see improvements for sure.

is it other asus board using that thermal paste?..coz myb p6t northbridge so high temperature

not sure, never open other asus x58 heatsink. I owned P6T before, you can cable tie a fan onto the heatsink on NB, it cools down quite a lot. icon_rolleyes.gif

else you can just take out the heatsink and check ..

we still haven't got much insight on how fast the LGA1155, but I personally believe that it's gonna be faster than LGA1366 eventhough it's not in the same stream. thumbup.gif

last nite fiddled around again, and i got this... 1.224v for 3.9GHz. tried 1.215v but prime95 shows error, and system restart shortly after that.

bclk 188 with 21 multiplier, running on 1.224v. prime max temp reaches 91 last nite. sweat.gif but the temp was quite ok i think, average 85.

to bring it to 60+, go for water cooling laugh.gif

you can reduce 3-5c if you switch to megahalems.. ( my guess only )

Good job on the clocks.
That high QPI/dram aka vtt is normal for R3E. Just make sure that all OCP settings are enabled in bios to avoid explosion brows.gif
On stock cooling it's best to keep it below 1.55v. Get a table fan blowing towards ur casing while stressing.
The vtt that actually killed me R3E was 1.6Xv OCP off, on stock cooling.
On EVGA Classified my 920 @ 4.2Ghz HT ON, uncore 4Ghz, dram 2000Mhz, can go as low as 1.425v vtt
uncore 3600Mhz, dram 1600Mhz, 1.3Xv vtt

R3E stock cooling does not cover the vtt mosfet chips, if over volt heavily, it will burnt easily... I experienced it when using EVGA SLI micro, stressing at high vtt without cooling on vtt mosfet chip. If wanna run high vtt voltage, cooling on the mosfets are required.

what ram u use bro??
same like ur siggy?? hmm.gif

No problem. I tried 1.74V on cheap Kingston KVR1333. It isn't even hot when touched.

You just have to ensure Vtt difference is not more than 0.5V. Usually motherboard BIOS will take care of this for you.

For uncore 4000Mhz u just need VTT around 1.4-1.5v. Watch out for PWM temp windows will reboot once this evil temp hit ~ 100C

DFI will throttle once PWM temp exceeds 85C. Ur hybrid digital PWM can withstand temp up to 105C.
But according to Jimmy the DFI engineer, overheat PWM won't cause shutdown hmm.gif
Somehow this guy keeps mum when I questioned uptil now DFI still didn't managed to overcome the high PWM issues in their boards.
Most DFIs died due to evil code 88 error, this stupid guy replaces the burned CPU PWM IC,w/o knowing that actually it's caused by electric-attribute changed of some components on CPU VCore circuit and damage PWM IC again. Pity those DFI buyers RMA few times again and again. There are many DFI boards still waiting RMA turn at local distro atm.. Good luck.
But now I'm glad that this MF mobo maker has stopped producing LP boards.

The 21th multiplier is being throttled down @ 4GHz settings. Temperatures are fine except for PWM that is over 70C. Is it over-current protection?

Once ur PWM temp reaches certain limit (85C in my case), Turbo mode will be closed, min multi executed and throttled.
In bios settings, to remove throttling, do the following protection functions
Set VR Current Limit Max: Enabled
TDC Function: Enabled

I did Set VR Current Limit Max: Enabled and it no longer throttle down. Thanks

I manage to hit 4GHz, but the system couldn't sustain. While Linx never gave error and neither Windows BSOD or acted weirdly, DFI monitoring software alarms me for a great dip in voltage for
Vdimm: ~1V
+5V: 0.somethingV
Vcore: 0.9V

Then few seconds later whole system will shutdown (not restart/BSOD) and stay off until I manually start the system. I also noticed that the PWM temperature are 75-76C when this happened.

PWM overheating? PSU can't cope?

PWM OCP set to 140A. PSU is Silverstone ST-56F

The blinking red voltages show that ur system is being throttled due to PWM overheating.
U will see voltages shoot up and down and cause shutdown etc... Nothing wrong with the OCP just let it be.
The solution is try to reduce the PWM temp by active cooling ie small fan + table fan blowing directly towards PWM & NB
TIM needs a replacement too, argh this DFI puts red glue on the NB screws doh.gif

Okay, I'll get a fan to blow and try again. If I remove the PWM heatsink, warranty would be void. Moreover I heard it's difficult to align the heatsink for perfect contact again.

Could be data corruption or premature HDD failure.

PCI-E clock will affect the stability HDD, sound card, ethernet controllers, graphics card and possibly other devices also.

Minor tweaking can improve stability but 126MHz is usually too high for a stable set up.

bro..... even 118hz is an insane PCIE freq. if u have been playing with that pcie freq for a long time. most likely u have already corrupted part of your HDD data without noticing it

the simplest way for a start would be to further increase your QPI/DRAM core volt. try 1.5V, and see if it works.

If not mistaken u're playing with 8X dram and 16X uncore only.
vtt for uncore < 4000mhz should be lower than 1.4v. above this might get BSOD etc..
R3E sucks more vcore for 4.4Ghz core HT off u will need something like 1.4vcore to get it stabled.

guys..i overcloked my i7 930 to 4Gz on asus rampage 3 extreme..
by default,the option for c1e will automatically disable when i go to cpu configuration tab in da bios..
wat happen if i turn on c1e manually?
nothing bad happen?

i noticed that in HWmonitor,my cpu only takes 40.52W if i turn on da c1e option.and it will keep changing between 40.52W to 115.02W if i do some works.

while da CPUz maintainly show 4Ghz at da core speed tab.. unsure.gif

nothing bad will happend if you disable or enable the feature bro..c1e function is quite similar with EIST..it actually protects your cpu from overvoltage..

if you disable the c1e function, it means that the voltage that was supplied to your proc will be maintain...disable c1e function usually does help in oc..that why most people who oc, they disable that function in order to get their desired voltage..

The feature is Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), a power saving feature for lntel processors
it lowers the clockspeed of your CPU when ur system is idle

Yes the same 920, but stil couldnt exceed BCLK 220 with this new mobo. I think ive hit its max BCLK at this x21 multi. Can boot 225 but not stable = useless. Might try lower multi. For me, Classified3 = Classified E760 + USB3 + SATA3. My 980X has been sold to someone long2 time ago due to urgent demand. tongue.gif

Can I bring my i7 920 over to your house and let you clock to things like 4.6GHz? Lol.. Even with CM212+, anything above 4GHz is too hot to handle.

Maybe you can get a better HSF from Thermalright or Prolimatech? That should work a bit better but it'll still be around the 80C I believe biggrin.gif

4.6ghz is imposible for aircooling. The best coud go is 4.3Ghz HT off @ 1.31v touching 88c, with table fab blowing towards pwm

yes indeed get a better air cooler ie Vernomous-X, Megashadow etc... Or H7O. Above 4.4ghz pls get a custom wc hehe.

for that batch, it's a piece of cake for 4ghz. but still not sure if the IMC is good. Coz I owned one before

@Bigsaver
what ram ur using? if it's capable of doing 2000mhz, please try to run it with 4ghz uncore and see if u can pass prime95 5.4gb

Some memory intensive applications will benefit more from a faster uncore, roughly 3% I'd say but may vary from app to app.
3DMark is one of them.

Get a Corsair DomGT 2C8-9-8 for RM8XX only right now
On the other hand, my Elpida kit is still doing great and kicking in my rig

Just to share for those Elpida collectors..
List of some Elpida kits from Super Talent
Note that their 2000C7 is better than my DomGT 2000C7 in timing specifically tRCD
7-7-7-21 vs mine 7-8-7-20.. Anyway it's been reported (confirmed) that Elpida chips will die (degrading) after some time, likely a time bomb. It is disappearing from the market.

U might wanna try tighten timings:
7-9-7-24-72-1T, 1.56v
6-9-6-24-72-1T, 1.66v
No need active cooling unless u go insane vdimm ie over 1.8v
1.7v+ is still safe and cool, avoid noise pollution

Good job mets. u shouldnt sell ur goldy last time. Goodbye to ur Elpida lol.
My 2kC7 can smell the graveyard yet, hopefully at least until next year huhu.
Meanwhile I managed to pump more vtt with E770. My last E760 was capped at 1.525v only, hence now can do uncore more than 4.4Ghz @ dram 2200cl8. But gtx580 SLI doesnt seem to allow me to play with PCIE clock more than 100mhz, one of the gc will disappear at PCIE 110. While i need this to do stabilty at 4.6GHz core.

Hhmm.... I thought about that too.... apparently yuanbao still has it... do u seriously think the IMC and the core correlate similarly when it comes to the voltages. last time when I still had my 1600c7 GT, it just couldn't do uncore 4k, so I thought it could be a crappy ram. then I changed to that faulty 2000c7 and same thing happened. So i'm not sure whether if it's procs fault or the ram's fault at that time. but now i know for sure that the 2000c7 was faulty. but how would we explain on 1600c7? maybe it just simply can't do 2000mhz dimm?

Alvin currently owns the 1600c7 ram i mentioned, not sure whether if he has actually tested it extensively. hopefully he can come in and clear things up a bit.

I saw cstkl1's posts on this CMT6GX3M3A2000C8 in extremesys. what it's capable of doing is pretty good. btw, I noticed that my 975 can do 4k uncore @ VTT 1.375v. tried 1.35v it will BSOD in 20 minutes. for that VTT i would say it's pretty good yeah?

Core, uncore, dram all related to voltages bro
Core is linear to voltage whilst Uncore reacts exponentially to vtt.
For me all D0 could do uncore 4ghz easily due to better IMC vs C0/1. Just that u hv to choose the correct vtt.
Ur 1600C7 should be able to do 2000C9 with higher vdimm and loosen timings.

Do u rilly need tat much voltage for 4GHz? With that insane vcore for sure will overheat.  Try this.

Whats your take on the Sabertooth X58..?
I mean compared with the Rampage and Classified and stuff..
In terms of CPU overclocking and memory support..?

Almost bought a Rampage the other day.. But i thought i 'd do

For sure R3E is better than Saberbooth. TUF designed Saber is built for extreme heat n cooling. U might also consider r3formula which is as good as R3E. I like its TurboV, looked quite informative than the R3E.
Asus wont b that stupid enuf in pricing.
Classy wins in Mem oc amongst these boards. On top of that, Gulftown seems to prefer R3E than Classy. But i had hard time playing R3E bios than Classy. maybe im more familiar with Awards bios like what Classy n DFI are using lol.

Com'on let's finish it asap and break it to the limit.
Make sure that all the fittings sit tightly and conduct a leak test before running this RMA prone mobo.

Just to share something which Classy3 and DomGT could boot:D

Gotta do with the latency, although higher bandwidth doesn't really boost the score.
Actually the 0.09s improvement is great for Pi 1M. I believe can do better with some tweaks and tricks tongue.gif
Well I'm quite happy with how Classy3 can do what my old Classy was unable to do due to capped VTT @ 1.525v
Another thing is Classy3 has the latest X58 chipset rev. 22.

no way. raising TRCD will just worsen the performance. nod.gif
anyway my 4.6Ghz settings are 1760mhz 6-6-6 which is pretty much faster than 1600Mhz 5-6-5.

I'm more interested with Pi so latency at tight timing is my concern. Anyway will leave this Bloomie for a while for i7 2600K paired with M4E n Giga UD7 this week.

Sandy Bridge, heard 5GHz on air is easy at winter countries.
2600K vs 950, clock to clock 2600K wins for sure. 950 n other Bloomies are real dead now. 6 cores Gulftown is the only which can survive in 1366 platform, but still pricey.
My price for Sandy would be abt RM50 cheaper than shops only.
1155 is using the exactly the same ram as previous platforms, rated at 1.5-1.65v, dual channel.

Sandy Bridge, heard 5GHz on air is easy at winter countries.
2600K vs 950, clock to clock 2600K wins for sure. 950 n other Bloomies are real dead now. 6 cores Gulftown is the only which can survive in 1366 platform, but still pricey.
My price for Sandy would be abt RM50 cheaper than shops only.
1155 is using the exactly the same ram as previous platforms, rated at 1.5-1.65v, dual channel.

Bro,if say an OC-ed i7 950 4ghz vs i7 2600k 4ghz,is it sandy still shining in term of performance?cant find any review regarding this matter.

from benchmark seems like its better but game performance wise from what i can see it seems like the difference is negligible cause only around 5 FPS increment .
gotta wait for more review .
but it seems like the sandy bridge is not really OC frenly based on the reviews .
can only play with the multiplier and the BCLK increment might not even exceed 10%
and review said only P67 chipset can play around in BIOS .
the H67 doesnt allow it .

dont flame me but this is what i read from review >.<"

the architecture is completely different, but its a bit dull if only can play with multiplier. Still waiting for more reviews and user comments though laugh.gif

yeap its too dull that it doesn't make it interesting to play with new playform although it has better performance .

aih, any news on when will LGA2011 will be released ?
that enthusiast platform should let OCer play around with the BIOS settings man .

else, it wont be nice .

if it's a heavily gpu dependable game, even a few fps is considered a good gain already.

now the sandy bridge bclk feels like pcie frequency. very rigid

Agree with u guys. Without BCLK tweaking Sandy overclocking is such a bore. Less playability no fun.

i read sandy's oc guide from XS n found dat they recommended to keep C1E and EIST option enabled for the best overclock capability.. btw,i read sumwhere said dat sandy's K processor can do 4.9Ghz on air.. huiiyoo.. n sweet spot for Vcore will be 1.45~1.55.. but no review up yet so we cant say anything bout sandy atm..

p/s: bro mets,i will try post some info 2nite..

so far i only able to oc my i7-950 to 3.7 ~ i need some guide to get over to 3.8 ~ when i try oc to 3.8 it sometimes can boot sometimes no ~
pls give me some guide which setting i need to play with especially those voltage thing thx ~

try setting your tRCD to 9 and tRFC to 88. and most of all, I seriously don't think u need that much of QPI/DRAM volt (VTT) sometimes for certain procs, too much vtt can lead to instability. set it to 1.30v or 1.35v

Depends on what BSOD u got.
A bump on vcore, vdimm or lower VTT might help. 1.3x VTT is sufficient for that uncore.
Might try to play with PCIE 105Mhz, IOH 1.175v etc... ahh LinX failure could be many reasons.
Run memtest to check dram error, but for R3E I just let it auto except for the 9-9-9-x

Nice try bro. U need to manually adjust vcore more than the current 1.15v, say 1.3v should be sweet for 3.8Ghz
vdimm set to 1.65v 1st, after this u might adjust lower for the most optimized one, say 1.6v.
QPI/RAM aka VTT set to 1.3x, for that uncore should be enough.

Either 2:8 or 2:10 for BCLK:Ram

Let's say for 2:8 (or 1:4) default BCLK of 950 is 133Mhz
So 133:133mhzx4 is 133:533mhz effective dram freq for DDR3 is 533x2=1066mhz
U may say 133x8 ~1066mhz for 2:8
For 2:10, effective dram speed is 133x10 = 1333mhz
Hope this helps. biggrin.gif

try lower .
it should do somewhere arnd 1.4v

and what cooling u use ?

possible its ur ram unstable .

btw, y ur running ur ram too low but with high voltage ?
try lower the ram voltage .

and try exactly double frequency for ur uncore .

We had to run 1.66 volts for stable performance even at low RAM clock speeds. QPI also needed to be nudged up to 1.3 volts.


i tot intel said maintain vdimm and qpi at 1.6 and 1.3 to get stable performance ?
actually i dont really know how to oc ram and that is the only setting i can get it boot and stable (for uncore and ram oc)~

i know it is not stable ~ and the article about the voltage thing also refer to 1st page's info
i am just a newbie and will follow what the review said ~ if follow template i dont really will get the idea and that's y i keep fail n fail and ask ~

triple channel gives u boost in benchmark iinm .
but OCing a single ram stick should be easier compared to triple channel .

Something wrong with ur ram settings I can it's running single channel. Curious how do u put ur ram on ram slots?
from CPU socket slot A-B-C-D-E-F, dual channel is B+D for ur case.
btw, what a waste 1366 running dual channel when the most interesting part of this platform is its triple.

yea i insert it in single channel (E,F)~ because the time i bought this rig no more money for ram so only 2 stick~
actually i am also thinking to add more or just make it double channel so my oc can go on?
if it is causing the gap

Advise to do dual channel at slot B+D. Hmm what a waste running single channel on x58, it's even worse than old 775s.

Hi guys n gurus,

Want to ask,wut do u tink dat holding back high bclk? I play IOH 1.16~1.3, vtt from 1.35~1.5, vcore 1.3~ 1.45 n low timing to eliminate my Ram n still no luck. Target was 4.5Ghz. CPU pll from from 1.8~ 1.86 no luck oso. Do u ppl play wif skew oso? I haven't try skew yet.

Symptom is freezing when Linx. Sumtimes bsod 9c.

BSOD 9C most likely refering to vtt. But increasing vcore might help.

4.5ghz damn hard to get. Maybe my cooling not powah enough... Managed to get 4.2ghz + DDR3 2k C7 already a good point for my proc. Now maybe moving to Sandy Bridge. Maybe play I5, no budget yet for i7 2600k. Any diff between i5 and i7 other than the HT tech on new Sandy Bridge platform ? laugh.gif

Batch, IMC strength, cooling, mobo chipset, dram etc.. to name a few are the limits.
u can find 4.7Ghz is the best LinX stable clock for 930 in XS. LN2 is another thing.

MDPC-x took 1 month to arrive as they're using snail global mail DHL. Sad to hear ur casing. Dont wanna add heat here. There is no nice modder in Msia. Some of them are taking materials from the conman bombman. Sorry to say that but i'm still observing these guys activities. The best modder is our own hands. Anyway Good luck to u guys.

ya, kinda agree. Last time got ianho and allngap, retired. and nowadays seems lack of nice modder.

Actually for powder coat or laser cut, we can always disassemble the casing ourself and send it to furniture shop or advertisement shop for powder coat and laser cut.

Or buy a dremel, read guides online and cut outself. In malaysia, we got nice modder, but mostly not applying their skills on PC. laugh.gif You go furniture shop, their cutting is damn cunning, just that it applied on furniture. ( some cutting very nice alu shape ) laugh.gif

sorry noob question again. I managed to get 2100mhz DRAM 5 hrs prime95 custom stable. however when i run linx I cant seem to get the gflops higher than 35. i heard that it is due to instability. tried up'ing the vtt and vcore but didn't seem to help. or maybe i should post up a screenshot?

First check whether linx running all cores or half.
Let's try this mets, priority either in linx or windows set to Above Normal etc..

Thanks guys, will give it another shot with what you guys mentioned

btw, owikh. I'm pretty sure all my cores were loading when running linx. we check that in task manager right?

67GFlops for 4.6GHz bclk 220
65 for 210-215, depends on settings
1 mhz bclk equals to point something GFLops

odd multi eg. x21 works better on bloomfield. Turn ON the turbo to make it 200x21=4.2GHz hehe.. but no harm for x20 if it given u a successful run. Temp is ur enemy.

could try first .
vCore vary depends on chip bro .
yeap even i use 930 oso i use 21x instead of 22 on turbo mode .

Added on February 28, 2011, 10:57 pmwhat does prime really push and what does linX really push actually ?
i've forgotten .
seems like sometimes could get solid 12 hours on prime and fail linx instantly or vice versa >.<"
