what's the bios voltage for 4Ghz?

You might have a better chip than me

not sure, but in windows its 1.141v

good job bro, it'll be tits if that was stable though. Mine failed at pass 9/10. I'll give it a go tomorrow, need to hit the sack

 

[HammerON]

yeah when my MCH strap is set on AUTO is sets them like yours, really loose timings.

I wonder how much voltage I need for 4ghz. This is my current setting, passed LinX and has been crunching for about 10 hours now.

3.8 Ghz @ 1.152v

I came home from work and found my computer stuck in re-boot
Lowered it back down to 3.98 at 1.317V. I don't know how long it was down for, but it sucks as I am trying to gain some crunching ground

I think I will just leave it alone for awhile

CP ~ Nice job on the low volts! That is really amazing and I hope it remains stable for ya...........

well, after 56 posts from this morning till now, I will go to bed. If I was not inactive for almost my first year after becoming a member on here, what the hell would I be averaging per day post wise? Shit, thats a bit of posting. I got the first page of my posts all from today (40), and 16 from the next page.

ok first off thanks for filling this out. Couple of things I notice. My response is in bold red

1-CPU Uncore Frequency (MHz) Auto set it at x16

2-Memory Frequency Auto (Target 1522) set it at 2:6 for now, once you find stable CPU overclock, you can try to go higher on it. (2:8).

3-CPU VCore 1.300V- this is ok
CPU VTT Voltage Auto - set manually. Default should be 1.20v. You need to be within .45v of the DIMM voltage. DIMM is set to 1.65v, this might need a bit more headroom when the voltages flunctuate, set VTT to +50mv or +100 and see how much it is. Try to keep it the same or less than vcore.
CPU PLL VCore Auto - 1.8v works the best for me, too much can also be bad, just as too low also. Auto is fine for now.
DIMM Voltage 1.65 - with the divider at 2:6 (#2) try lower, RAM will be less overclocked now
DIMM DQ Vref +0mV - i've never touched this
QPI PLL VCore 1.300V - ok, but you can push more, but should be fine.
IOH VCore Auto - auto is fine for me at this clock, however sometimes this can make the difference between stability and no stability. 1.275-1.3v works best for me.
IOH/ICH I/O Voltage Auto - auto is great
ICH VCore Auto - auto works
PWM Frequency ???? - your board dont have this? Ir un mine at 800


4-CPU Feature
Intel SpeedStep Disabled - good
Turbo Mode Function Enabled - good
CxE Function Disabled - good
Execute Disable Bit Enabled - i run it disabled
Virtualization Technology Disabled
Logical Processor Setting
Intel HT Technology Enabled
Active Processor Cores All

CP ~

I really appreciate your help with this. I am not yet used to EVGA (always used ASUS before) or the X58 MB. I am off work now but have to go to volleyball practice. I coach at a local high school.
So I will definitely will be trying this when I get home tonight
Again, many thanks

 

[t_ski]

Gonna be a long night...

 

[Fitseries3]

and you say im crazy.

maybe you should send that cpu over here for a break in period.

 

[t_ski]

We all know you're crazy, but you're still welcome to drop by and tweak sometime

Bad part is I have been waiting about 3 hours for my 1TB eSATA drive to format so I can ghost my stuff over to it before I install Win7 x64 Ultimate on the 2 SSD's...

no problem bro, keep me posted. X58 sure can be tricky!

 

[Chicken Patty]

My latest stable settings, I messed up setting the voltage, so I set it too high. I did 3.9 Ghz stable at 1.141v so I was going to set just a bit higher, but messed up. I'll see how high 1.21v go though

 

[Fitseries3]

TSKI....

lock and load, lets see some overclockin

 

[t_ski]

First, we boot and make sure it's good to go

However, my master plan has been twarted though, as the ghost was on it's way to taking 48 hours to copy, and that was at a nice 80 Mb/s pace I had to get the CPU in tonight before Paulie kills me

congrats man. Its up and running. Looking forward to some good results

 

[t_ski]

Going to have to call it a night though. I'm the tech on call this week and I'm already up 2.5 hours passed my bedtime. 5:30am comes awefully early with no sleep. However, I'm glad I was up, since I got a page 20 minutes ago

dammit man! Well keep us posted on your progress dude

 

[HammerON]

no problem bro, keep me posted. X58 sure can be tricky!

Thanks CP for your help!

I changed settings to what you suggested and raised core speed to 4.02 GHz.
Also downloaded and ran LinX:

 

[mudkip]

use more memory when running linx , this is hardly a stress test lol
