Furreal man.
Been stuck in the real world, going to try and make it back here from time to time but no promises.

Well I just got done benching the i7 920 and I'm still stuck @ 215 bclk. I was reading a article over at the bot where the OP stated that the OCing capabilities of the bclk where directly tided to the quality of the CPU.
What settings do I need to add more volts to???? Another odd thing... After 4 hours of continuiosly playing with settings and such, I started dropping memory slots. At the end (8hours later) I had 1 memory slot still working.

The guide I linked earlier has the voltages you need to adjust. I don't recall off hand.
Did you try slow mode, etc? I know there was a lof advice in the thread already... just making sure you have used it so we don't repeat ourselves, etc.

Linked guide in which post????

I tried a lot of the advice that was given. I increased my PCIe to 115 anything higher and the board would not boot. I increased the QPI voltage to 1.65, board refused to post. I also enabled slow mode for QPI, it was the only one that had it. I got the FSB to 217 before the board became unstable, it was like I had forgotten a setting. If that makes sense.
I thought it was in here or one of your others threads...look! Ther eis only 25 posts in here, LOL!!
In the Intel section, the ultimate intel sticky, there is an article "How to overclock your I3. i5, i7". THis tells you exactly how to isolate the BCLK and find its limit (among other things).
But MM, you need to show us where you are at/what you did otherwise we spin our tires trying to help. Post up CPUz screenshots of the first tab, memory and spd tabs of the hardware you are using.
EDIT: Sorry, it was in another thread, but, know your forum and where to find things!!!

Good point E_D, if you look at some of the threads I started in here MM you'll see what he means. Try to give as much info as possible and it's a lot easier to see a problem. OC 101 only change one thing at a time words to live by. Well at least with something you're not familiar with.

While true, I think that is generally geared towards people with current generation engineering samples, not ones from 7 years+ ago

I'm hoping to get bumped up from Apprentice from using LN2 at the party
I know that on the Intel side, it's an old has been (i7 980x). Looking at the BOT and submissions from the i7 980x 6c/12t and the FX-8350 4c/8t (<some info programs are listing it this way), the i7 980x beats the FX in Fire Strike, Ect, Ect. I read on here that AMD MIGHT be releasing their new GPU at the end of June. When it is in my hand then they did not do a paper launch
You guys have told me repeatedly that if I want a good score in 3D benches then run your GPU's with your best processor (Intel). For the up coming party I have the 980x and the 8350/8370 - x6 1100t and x4 955.
I was looking at pairing my GPU's with the 980x setup....
Yes, in modern 3D (think 3dMark 06 on forward), the amount of cores play a big role in most benchmarks due to the Physics tests.
Ahh, that is a good point. Wow is that CPU 'old'... LOL!

Looks like I was off by a year, Q1 2010 for launch of 980x. wow!
