I have tried those settings, but my PC doesn't like them lol. My BIOS resets to default when i try those settings. Any suggestions as to what to bump up or down? I feel 4.2GHZ would be a bit too much i think when it comes time for gaming. I think 3.6GHZ to 3.8GHZ would probably be best for me. But let me know what you think. Thanks again.Quote:

If you fail here try cpu core voltage 1.40v and run p95 for 3 hours . Like I said before , we will fine tune your cpu core voltage after to have it just right for your final cpu core frequency . Like before take a pic of your p95 & core temp results ( or run LinX 20 times if temps are okay ) . After that I will see if 3.8Ghz will be our next goal . After we find a nice safe 24/7 100% stable home for your cpu frequency I will help you hard set your complete bios . Take your time no hurry . Congrats to the Saints 31 to 17 !!! Damn good playing !!!
I have had simular issues on this with mine but only when overclocked up in the 200x range, 181x was fine but it did do some weird stuff like waking up soon after I put it to standby. I could use Hibernate and if I utilized hibrid sleep (standby) it would "locked" lock up on resume from S3 sleep but if I reset it would resume on repost. On my 200x uclk it now keeps waking up after S3 (sleep/standby) & S4 (hibernate) and all known settings are off for timers and wake from keyboards. However, I do have a gyro gaming wireless keyboard and it did this on the non II rampage x48 but if I removed the keyboard it was fine, it stayed asleep.Quote:

I followed these guidelines and mine passed with colors at 4GHz but with 20x multi. I am also cool to get 4.2 but I wanna find the lowest combo of temps v/s voltages for daily 4GHz. See below, in BOLD is what I changed or picked.
Now I am curious about the PLL left at lowest. Is it not benifitial anymore to slightly increase this as in X48 w/ core 2 quads? I had mine at 1 level from up from lowest for the longest time stable but moved it down for testing.
Loadline calibration: I had always used in all my ROG mobos sice X38 Maximus. It has and still helps to keep vcore (for my uses) in target but if anything the vdrop will then happen innlow use, not the other way around.
votages? What is a realistic decrease for my i7 920 (DO) if I only need 4GHz 20x200? Can I lower QPI any less w/ stabilty you think or this safe range if temps are good, or is this more to do with DRAM and BCLK? Can I effectively lower my NB/SB core volts then if bk down to 20x200?
Otherwise, it ran good so far. Temps are hitting average loaded in Prime of upto 72c 1/2 & 68c 3/4. Is this normal for a noticable differance between 1/2 & 3/4 core temps? in idle they are cores 1/2= 39c, 3/4= 34c

has anyone got their i7 920 lapped
im seriously thinking of lapping my i7 and ek supreme lt
i have mounted my cooler many times even trying differnt pastes but cant get it cool with the watercooling i have in my sig
i know the lt isnt the best block to have but @ 4.2 with only 1.3v im hitting 80c surley it should be lower that that
my idle temps are 49/43/48/41 and romm temps about 10c
Before lapping it, just check if the IHS is convex or concave... a lap job doesn't always warrant lower temps, only thing it warrants is loss of warranty... and 80°c's is that LinX stress ? or gaming load ?
80c is linx load
i want too get it a bit lower because any more volts or mhz causes it to go close and even over 90c
i tried to test if it was unlevel but it didnt seem that bad slightly concave
but ive tried everything to get the temps down with no success
A new Bios in Town :rolleyes:

Changelog is not aviable.

I've have them temps too at 4.2Ghz with my I950, it's just a hothead and that one got a dedicated loop with a 120.3 to cool it down...Quote:

Persoanlly I would stay away from lapping it.
And for your info LinX temps are not even remotely reached in daily use... if ya CPU even reaches 65°C when gaming it's a lot...
Ok will do during the week. How about all of the other settings? should i leave them on Auto and just worry about the CPU voltage alone? thanks.Quote:

If you pass 3.6Ghz then go for 3.8Ghz by just increasing your BCLK to 190 and of coarse test and post results . Keep a good eye on your temps and take your time , no hurry .Quote:

It seems mostly aimed to new Gulftown cpu.Quote:

For me, it often fix the cold boot problems and problems with system not waking up properly.Quote:

When my R2E board was on air the NB/SB typically ran at a max of 53-54C at SLI load. Idle was around 46C (ambient ~20.5C). I think the max it's specified to take is around 90C.
Hi I'm trying to out my new Gulftown and I would like your opinion on thesettings here.

The 980x is quite different than the 920 on OC requiers lot more vcore, but seem to be a lot cooler.
I'm running the new 1802 bios.
Why your ES cpu has locked multipliers?Quote:

The multipliers are not locked just appears to be in CPU-Z.Quote:

Yes it's to high for that speed I can run at 4,55 GHz with the same voltages. The QPI for 1804 MHz ram is maybe a little high but it needs it at speeds over 1800MHz.Quote:
