Hey All,
So I am trying to read up and understand how all of these settings effect each other. My goals are to learn, then achieve a moderate but stable OC to run with 24/7 and play games.
For those who haven't seen one of my other posts.
I have an Antec 300
2 Front intake fans
1 Rear exhaust fan
i7 920
TRUE 1366 RT 1 fan pushing exhaust through to the rear fan.
On an ASUS P6T Deluxe v2
6g Corsair XMS 1333 9-9-9-24 Advertised timings.
EVGA GTX 260 216 Core
Corsair 650TX PS
2x Seagate 7200.12 500G Sata Drives
1x Samsung CD/DVD SATA
I see lots of mention of changing various voltages but I don't understand is how the voltages impact overclocking, what does raising or lowering the voltages achieve?
CPU RATIO
I know this * BClock = CPU speed
BCLCK (CPU Host Freq)
I know this * CPU Ratio = CPU speed, I also know this affects the memory multiplier.
PCIE
Option 100-200, I dont see much mention of anyone changing this.
DRAM
I know this effects the memory speed but the options increase as I increase the bclock
UCLK ( Uncore)
I dont know what this effects but I know the options increase as I increase the bclock
QPI
I dont know what this effects but I know the options increase as I increase the bclock

What I have done so far, isn't much.
With BIOS defaults, I Disabled Speedstep and C1E. To prevent auto Throttle.
At the moment as a small step I changed
CPU Ratio from Auto to 20
BCLOCK from Auto to 150
Left PCIE, DRAM, UCLOCK, QPI on Auto
And heres what I have so far after 20 minutes of prime running 8 small FFT's
I do notice the memory is actually still underclocked if I am not mistaken.
Running at apx 1200 8-8-8-20
Specd at 1333 9-9-9-24
Though I am wary to do much more trial and error without a better understanding of how each setting impacts the others.
This is where I hope you will come in
Thanks
