Hardware:
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
Intel i7 930
eVGA 260 GTX
Silverstone TJ10
Assisted by: *Advertising link removed - IMOG*
Current settings:
CPU Ratio: 18
BCLK: 200
DRAM 1603 (8-8-8-24)
UCLK: Auto
QPI Link Data Rate: 7218MT's
CPU Vcore: 1.275
QPI/DRAM: 1.275
CPU PLL: Auto
IOH Volt: Auto
DRAM Bus Volt: Auto
Intel Speed Step: disabled
With these settings after nearly 15 hours of burn-in I seem to be stable. During an overnight burn-in I woke up to find my lead core temp at 69C, having peaked at 71C. It's odd to see temps this high, particularly when I idle on my lead core at 35C. But it seems nearly everyone is getting these wide swings on the i7 line, right?
My concern is that despite raising my QPI link data rate to 7218, CPUZ is reporting it at the default of 3600.00. I understand that this particular change has a rather significant change in performance. Any ideas as to why I am not seeing the 7218 I have it set at?
Also, I was unable to gain stability at 20 x 200 despite toying with voltages all throughout yesterday. I started out by referencing forum posts to people with 920's (not many posts on the 930's yet), but by the end of the day I was just guess and checking. I never had a burn-in last for longer then an hour before I would come back to find my system had evidently BSOD, then reboot, and was idling at login. I pretty much decided last night that I could live with 18 x 200 so long as it was stable and I could somehow increase my data link rate to 7218. But if anyone else is rocking the 930 and has been able to find stability at 20 x 200 I would very much appreciate seeing their settings in a format similiar to what I have listed above.
Appreciate any help and advice I can get. Will be monitoring the post continuously throughout my workday and responding quickly to any replies I get.
Thanks!
