Benchmark Scores I dont have time for that.
Temps go up?

not really i idle at about low 40's with HT on at this voltage at 4Ghz i think it was actually higher before because i had a smaller rad. at anyrate here are my voltage tables

Okay ~ ordered my water cooling parts for this build:

Swiftech APOGEE GTZ Special Edition (Yeah I know, not the best)
Swiftech MCP355 w/ XSPC res top
Swiftech MCR 320-QP rad w/ Scyth fans
Enzotech High Flow Fitting G 1/4 Thread - 1/2" barb
Tygon 3603 1/2" Clear Tubing
Koolance Reusable Hose Clamps

I got the pump/res and rad for $140.00 shipped so I think it is a good deal. I guess we will see when I get it all together:)

I finally checked the bios for the NB temp and it was around 65 degrees C, so I will leave it alone for now.

in the last pic, the top group, leave everything disabled except for turbo, thats how I have it, maybe you had it different before. You can try to back down on CPU PLL, sometimes too much causes instability. Have you updated the BIOS?

ya i have the latest ill try disabling virtualization and disablebit...i also reading the guide tski posted my ram is low..apparently its supposed to by around 1.6-1.65+ for over 200bclk? and if i look closer my vtt isnt within .5 thoughts?

Your vvt is with in .5v of your ram if you arn't over 1.65.

Unless the Evga board is different, the memory voltage is going to be dependent on your memory speed unless pushing uncore ahead of memory. Like in the 4ghz range. Upping your IOHv helps as you push the bclk higher. I run 1.22-1.26 for 200-210bclk on my P6T6 while I only run memory at 1.66 for 210 bclk with memory at 8x and uncore at 18x.

Also, when I find a stable clock, say 200 bclk/8x ram/18x uncore/ 18 qpi, I'll bump the vvt and vcore a couple notches to make sure I'm ok. I can stress 1.26250 vcore, 1.325 vvt, and 1.60 vdram all day. For 24/7 though I go 1.275 vcore, 1.35 vvt, and 1.66 vdram just to make sure I don't run it to any problems. Like I got a 0x124 coming out of S3 sleep and realize that I can bench 1.325vvt but for S3 to work properly I need more. I just jumped to 1.35 to make sure and havn't had a problem.

have you tried a RAM divider of 6?

idk i just try to keep it as close to 1600 as possible im either under or over by about 50mhz

try increasing QPI PLL, IOH, and DRAM. IOH should be around 1.3v

Good grief! 1.3v :eek:

Does it really take you that much to pass a linpack test? LinX requires to most from my board and I'm at 205bclk running LinX now with 1.24v and it's looking very, very good. I've got the B2 stepping X58 so I don't know if that makes a difference from what you have.

Well, no. I can do 4.2 Ghz with 1.105v. I got the first stepping of it. But 1.3v seems completely reasonable.

Too much IOHv can cause errors in LinX too.

Installed MX-3 last night to my CPu and my lapped True, so far I have seen a 8 degree difference in load temps, which leads me to think that the TRUE was not mounted right in the 1st place when I had the AS5 on it, my load temps there for a 42 Ghz OC at 1.344V Vcore and 1.355V Vtt was 88 degrees at max. Now with the MX-3 on the chip with the same settings as above my load temps max at 79 degrees. So that difference is huge and might allow for some 4.5Ghz runs or so.

Oh, Wow! 42ghz at only 1.344v. What you working on, a 2ghz bclk? :p

I was just trying to get 4.2ghz to work and was up to 1.325v and was looking at low 90s and climbing. Did you get your airflow problem worked out or was it the mount? Did you lap the chip at all?

I worked out the airflow and put 2 Scythe Ultra Kaze's on the TRUE in Push Pull, with another Ultra Kaze as the rear case exhaust, each moving 133 CFM. I lapped the TRUE and I am also doing the washer mod to give the mount some more pressure on the chip. I had that in the past but I am unsure why there was such a huge degree difference from a TIM change, the previous mount seems okay but I guess it wasn't.

Yeah temps are always a must to watch regardless. However, most C0's took a bit more IOH voltage. I noticed my C0 took about 1.35v to be stable. My D0 can be left untouched up until about 4.1-4.2 GHz. Un touched as in 1.05v. Guessing since maybe the majority of the C0's that don't clock as good as the D0's had weaker memory controllers?

Too much IOHv can cause errors in LinX too.

Any voltage set too high or too low will cause that. So yes, I agree with you :toast:
