TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[Binge]

Anyone with a P6T Deluxe V2 - i sugest you put the newest bios in (0901), increases board stability, finally 20 and 19 multiplyers are usable for 4Ghz, sort of.

That sounds terrible... Most any and all x58 board will do 4.0GHz @ 191x21, 200x20, or 211x19

For some reason my i7 930 is at 2.93GHZ (default is 2.8GHZ) and I havent touched the BIOS at all

Its making me mad, i need more than 1.33V CPUVcore to stabilise at 20 x 200, i can barely boot at 210. Im 90% sure its the procesor, but there's nothing to prove it unless i get a proven clocker or try a different board

Im getting the BSOD 0A almost once a day now. I did another Intelburntest and passed 10 loops @ max but if i let the computer idle for like 4 or more hours it will randomly BSOD with 0A? it seems like a older driver is doing with from all the pages i found when i googled the stop code
I seen it alot in the X64 systems.

It doesn't do it if im on the computer using it but if its idling for a long period of time it will just BSOD and reboot. it does it once or on some times twice a day according on if i use the computer at all. Maybe MS will post a update to fix this?

Have you run memtest? It could be a bad stick of ram.

 

[brandonwh64]

gonna run one right now

 

[brandonwh64]

ok its already made a pass and 1/2 on the memtest 2.10 (about 1 hour and 12min).

should this be enough?

I have the same mobo as you and it benches @21x220. I'm curious what your BIOS settings are in particular the QPI/VTT?

 

[brandonwh64]

my memtest completed 2 full passes @2 hours and some change. NO ERRORS, so this must be driver related

what oc are you trying to get ? what vcore, qpi, ioh are you using and mem speed ?

 

[brandonwh64]

I have already got a good OC but i keep getting BSOD 0A when the system Idles for a long period of time. Paulie mentioned a memtest which i did and it passed good. I searched google and it seems like a driver is trying to access a IRQ that is already assigned?

Here is my current overclock

Brandon, are you using the cooler I sen you, or did it toto your celeron? That cooler can easily be over tightened.

I have the same board. Have you noticed any differences with the new 0901 BIOS?
For comparison, I run 4 GHz at 191x21, 1.256 vcore, 1.225 QPI. Going to 200x20 always required several extra bumps of voltage for the core and a few more for QPI. Not really worth the extra heat generated, so I stick to the x21 multiplier for 24x7 operation.

@Brandon - I am freezing aswell and it is crap, i just froze in Windows Media Player, even thouhg i have done 15 passes of IBT on high level. I never get a BSOD which is weird, i cannot tell what is the issue. Screen either freezes or goes black :/

@MetalRacer, my current settings are: 1.30V CPU, 1.275V QPI, 1.14V IOH, 1.66V RAM, rest is defualt.

@Divide Overflow - The difference is added stability at lower voltages, the board is a bit more predictable. ALso, 20 multiplyer is a bit more usable now

Naa my I7 is on water.

The cooler you sent me is on my 4ghz pentium D 830

Im not freezing at all. I can do anything i need to do BUT if i leave the computer @ idle for say like 4 hours then it will BSOD sometime during the 4 to 6 hours its idling.

I'm on the same board and same CPU......what other voltages are you running at?

4200= 1.325 201x21----also have used 211x20
4000= 1.25 201x20

With this newer bios (0901) I've been able to run it at 211x20 for 4200 stably but it doesn't give me the 1600Mhz memory I want.


Keep going for it bro.




EDIT:: Are you guys that are having Issues....do you guys have HT enabled or disabled in the bios?

 

[FilipM]

Mine is eneabled.

I have sorted the freezing for now, bumped the IOH to 1.2 but i had to lower the QPI to 1.25625

Ok just got another BSOD 0x0000001E ntoskrnl.exe.

googled this one and it says that there is a bug in windows 7 x64 ultimate that plagues ntoskrnl.exe and causes it to BSOD. im also back @ default settings so no overclock on right now.

OK

As i stated above im back at ALL stock settings and just recieved another BSOD! 2nd of the day. this was was the 0x00000D1 like i was getting the other day.

Should i uninstall windows 7 x64 ultimate and install windows XP x64?

 

[mudkip]

Try Windows 7 x86 , if that solves the problem it could be a hardware - os compatible issue.
DO NOT go back to XP x64 that will decrease your stability. Hardware / driver support sucks for xp x64 , it's really outdated and a total failure imo , x64 became mature with Vista

 

[brandonwh64]

well im thinking of going to Windows 7 home X64? would that be a good OS?

 

[Chicken Patty]

Windows 7 x64 has been great for me since it's first BETA release.

So great I got a technet subscription.

Both of you are being wusses about voltage. Even D0s on average need 1.35-1.4 to get stable 4.0GHz. Especially with multi-GPUs. Fits and I had a discussion today about that.
