Hey guys, I'm running i7 920 d0 on ecs x58b-a2 board. My question is, after I overclock it (I'm kinda new, this is my first time oc'ing) , i manage to make it go up to 3.2ghz(not stable) and 3.0ghz (stable), my idle temperature is 60c and on load around 80c, currently using v8 cooler master. Is the temperature normal? if so, anyone has any guides on the mobo regarding oc'ing. Tried googling the net, but not much people out there using the same brand.
this is my setting on bios
cpu freq - 150
ratio 20
cpu volt 1.31875v
cpu vtt volt +0.052v
speed spectrum disabled
the rest set to disabled/default
advice?
edit
managed to get it stablize for now at 3.6ghz with this settings
Performance level: Standard
DRAM Frequency: 800mhz
Uncore: 1600
Configure DRAM Timing by SPD: Enabled
CPU Over-clocking Function: Enabled
CPU Over-clocking Frequency: 180
PCIE Over-Clocking Function: Disabled
Ratio CMOS Setting: 20
Auto Detect DIMM/PCI Clk: Enabled
QPI Frequency Auto detect: Disabled
QPI Frequency: 4.800gt
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
CPU Voltage: 1.25000v
IOH Voltage: +0132v
CPU VTT Voltage: +0.325v
DIMM Voltage: +0.150v
SB Voltage: Disabled
trying to get to 4.0ghz but waiting for anyone to give some advice first.
idle at 66c , with intelburn at high, 88c

yeah ive seen people go all the way to 4.2 and above, but the temp scares the hell out of me not to mention im not good with oc yet. I sure could use more advice.

QUOTE(WTSNWTB @ Feb 15 2012, 01:21 PM) Since u already fiddle wif the voltage, it's up to u to test it out. I juz give sum advice bout my o/c usually I try to affix to 200 fsb b4 anything else. If the mobo pass at that fsb then I juz slowly up the multi till 20 or 21 for 4ghz or 4.2ghz. Ur processor is d0 so should be able to handle 1.2 or 1.3 for max 4ghz. So far most of the d0 I tried easily go up till 4ghz wif a good mobo. Problem usually is to fine tune and stability. Some processor do need 1.35 or 1.4 for better stability. Ur temps is on normal room temp without a/c rite ? going 88'c is quite scary and tryin to hit a certain mhz compared to the temp is really not a good mixture. I usually o/c according to the room temp, if i got a/c I usually go 4ghz or higher if needed. But usually without o/c I down clk till 2.4 or 2.2 depends on ur processor vcore can go till 0.99 or even 0.90. Very good for power saving.  Do note, since ur running v8 it should be considered one of the best edy, so next step might be wc. I bring down the volt to 1.13-ish (forgot the exact number) but there is not much difference in the temp. sad part is i can only run my ram at 800mhz. Any advice where I do wrong? If i change it to 1066, it will boot till window then it just restart or if not blue screen. 1333 well, it just wont start. lol. |

QUOTE(WTSNWTB @ Feb 15 2012, 11:51 PM) Try to reduce ur qpi to 3600 1st if can, then use lower multi and try to raise ur fsb till 200 then once ur stable at 200 fsb then slowly up ur multi till 18 or 20. Ur memory is quite low 800 ? That's ddr2 speeds edi i think. 1066 also is ddr2. U should at least be running 1333. Is ur room very hot ? Or mebe ur processor itself is not a good batch ? I know my costa rica 950 is quite high at low clock as it's always around 4x even with w/c and air con. Where as my malay i7 920 d0 and 930 easily maintain 35-38 max wif the same exact casing and cooler during idle. But funny part is the max temp is quite stable which is 65 - 70 max in air con and w/c around 4ghz and 4.2. Both max temps r almost similiar for costa rica and malay. my room is very hot actually. but i guess i can leave with lower cpu speed for now as long as its not hard, i downclock it back to 3.0ghz from 3.6ghz, used default on everything but vcore, which is at 1.18xx volt (forgot the exact number) , and running on 1066 ram speed. I tried on 3.4, it works, but its not stable at all. i had to lower my ram to 800 to make it work. I need to know what i need to adjust in order to get 1333 or 1600 ram speed respectively (or at least make mine run at 3.6ghz without sacrificing my ram to be downclocked at 800mhz. Yes i know this sound like a noob-ish question, but I'm really new in oc field, but i would love to see some positive numbers result, been resetting my cmos like nobodies business for few hours just to fiddle the correct setting. Thanks for the reply in advance  |
