Hi all,
First time over-clocker so go easy please...
System is:
i7 930
Megahalem B air cooler and Nactua fan
Asus P6X58D-E
6GB Corsair Dominator CMT6X3M3A2000C8 (2000 o.c. C8)
ATI 4890 vid card (stock)
I've worked through Miahallen's excellent overclocking guide and I've got my i7 930 stable at 3.88GHz using the following settings...
21 CPU multi at 1.2v
185 Bclk
DDR -1854MHz
1.35v on QPI
1.1v on IOH
1.65v on DRAM (that's what it says on the dominator modules)
My question is...
I also seemed to get the set-up stable at a Bclk of 181 against a CPU multi of 22 (although it needs a longer test to prove totally stable).
Am I better off with the lower bclk and higher CPU multi (as that gave a proc speed of 3.98GHz) or is bclk more important and I stick with what I have??
BTW I could not seem to get a stable bclk over 190 no matter what I did, and to keep the ram going had to drop to 185.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide,
Sparks
