What steps should I take?
Here is my system:
GA EP45 UD3R f9
Q9650 lapped
8g mem 1066, soon 1200
4870x2
2 WD 640g black, raid 0
True lapped, push/pull Sythe Ultra Kaze 2000's, AS 5 paste
Corsair 750w
NXZT Tempest w/ 5 ultra kaze 2k's and 2 yates loon 140s
Running Windows 7 64 bit RC
Here is where I am at:
CPU
478x9, 4.3g
vcore 1.35
term 1.26
pll 1.45
ref .868
MCH
core 1.32
ref .838
RAM
turbo
5/5/5/15/54
2.0d
volt 2.12
term 1.06
This is stable for 8 hours + prime with cpu temps in low 60s max, nb is 3-5 degrees more
Also passed 50 iterations Intelburn, max temps 75-78, avg 73
What should I try adjusting to get higher clocks? I can boot and run at 500x9 but not as stable as I like, and lots more volts with high IB temps- in 90s. I am putting in the new g.skill lv 1200 sticks this weekend and hope that will help things.
I wanted to ask early in the week to get suggestions. I have tried several hundred combinations and logged all. Honestly I have no clue what I am doing- how different settings relate. I have discovered that different settings with the same speed yeild different super pi results, with the fastest being somewhat more stable.
I greatly appreciate the constructive criticism and advise. I have learned much in this forum.
Thanks
