Hi all,
I'm new to the BLCK overclocking, I'm used to the old FSB - Multiplier clock.
It was also a long time since I played around seriously in a bios so I need some help what different stuff means.
My rig:
Gigabyte ga-x58a-ud7
cpu: i7 - 920 d0rev
gpx - 9800GT
psu corsair 650w
hdd intel ssd 80 gb
ram corsair xms3 1600ghz 7-7-7-20 1,65v
Chassie - Home mod from a lian li with 2 front fans, 2 topfans and 1 small rear fan.
Cpu cooling - Air - Noctua - nh-d14
Overclocking: I played around some last night and below is what I ended up with but I need to know more aout voltages and stuff before I dare to push it.
Core speed - 4,2 GHz (200 x 21)
QPI link - 3,6GHz
Dram freq 800MHz (FSB
ram 2:8) 7-7-7-20-1
Temps realtemp 3.40 and pime 95 25.8 max heat test -> 62, 60, 60, 58 C
Speedfan + prime -> Core 0 - 3 :63, 61, 60, 58. Gpu -> 52, Temp1 =37, temp 2 = 49, temp 3 =46, temp = 2C (must be something wrong here)
Voltage:
Speedfan gives the values
Vcore1 = 1,26v
VCore2 = 1,52v (Where do I find this one in bios???)
+3,3 = 3,34v, +5V = 4,87V, +12V = 10,37V
Volt according to cpu-Z
core voltage (1.264V old) 1.248V
Bios settings: Hold on its a long one
Clock ratio = 21 (cpu freq 4,2 GHz)
QPI clock = x32 (7,2 GHz)
Baseclock = on (I write on instead of enabled, shorter)
Baseclock = 200
Performane enhance = Standard
XMP = Off
Mem multipl = 8x (1066, 1600)
DRam timing sel = Quick (ddr volt 1,5, QPI 1,175)
Timing 7-7-7-20-auto
Loadline cal = standard (What is this and what can I achieve by changing it?)
CPU VCore = 1,33125V
QPI/Vtt Core 1,215V
IOH Core 1,100V
DRAM = 1,540V
Menu: Advanced volt control
VCore, qpi, ioh dram as above
CPU PLL 1,880 V (Is this ok?)
pci-e = auto (I tried to set it manually to standard value but the gpx card didn't show any pic so i let it be auto)
qpi PLL = auto (should i set this one manually?what does it do?)
ICH I/O = Auto (set manually? what does it do?)
ICH Core - Auto (set manually? What does it do??)
DRam = 1,540V
Dram termination = Auto (set man? What does it do?)
CH-A -> CH-C Data Vref = Auto (set man? What does it do?)
CH-A -> CH-C Adress Vref = Auto (as above)
Questions which of the voltages above is = Uncore?
How does the voltages look? I remember reading somewhere about that there should be some specific balance between some voltages like volt A should be volt B +0,5 or something but I can't seem to find it.. think it was memory related tough.. anyone knows what I'm thinking about?
Other bios settings:
Turbo enabled (had to do this to get multi 21), cores = all, Multithread = off, CPU Halt C1e - off, tempmon - on, eist - off (should i activate this when running 24/7 if i get a fan faliure? or will cpu throttle down anyway when reaching 100c?), bidirectional prochot - on (what the hell is this?), virtua tech - on.
Should I push the clocking more o settle with 4,2 GHz (want to run the computer 24/7)
thx
Edit: Made some tweaking:
BLCK = 200 -> 201 (4,22 GHz)
Cpu Vcore 1.33125 -> 1.31875
QPI/Vtt core 1,215 -> 1,175
CPU PLL 1,880 -> 1,840
DRam 1,540 -> 1,500
