With 12GB Ram, 1.25v QPI also seems low to me... Generally the rule I've been following is set QPI to 1.35v and then see how high your UCLK can go.
For 143 BCLK, you don't need to increase PCIE speed, 100 should be fine.
Lastly, your IOH is high. I use 1.2v IOH for 200BCLK with 2x GTX560 Ti's in SLI.
Quick question!
Does this motherboard support dynamic voltage when overclocking? I have overclocked my i7 930 to 4.2GHz, enabled SpeedStep, C-State and C1E but when the system idles, only the multi drops, the vCore stays at the same voltage? Isn't the voltage supposed to drop?
There you go guys all that low voltage and stable still

It's easy to see the difference because the cpu cores won't get as hot as they normally would.

So the issue is the Linx coding prolly ? (deleted my previous post , my bad )
there is a thread started by zozon, its not Linx Coding.Quote:

so its some bug/degradation going on.
Gulftown is Bugtown, look @990X above by Tergon 100% load and i bet his temps are 70's
seems like sweetspot, but its not....:p:
i bet same test with 4GB will brings his cores +80c and or crash his cpu.
Leeghoofd you need a GT and test 12GB of ram to come into this problem,
so far its a hit and then miss, problem is killing us here :rofl:
thta's why I didn't include a Linx screenshot in my 12GB Sniper review... took too long...
if you did the review with a gulftown and took too long then maybe you werent stable, when i was stable and full bandwidth the system flew through the test.
now that the gulftown is capped, my i7 950 gives it a run for its money on full load.

this is a screencap on my current system, i yanked the gulftown..
its never going to see the daylight for a while, unless i sell it..
The last test posted was with 9216gb selected and my temps were only in the mid to high 60's to low 70's, made a few adjustments to settings QPI to 1.26 in BIOS and uncore value to 3254 up from min of 3011 or so. Another run through and at two tests done (will post screen shot if it all finished) the temps are running hotter at the lowest core at 72c and highest at 82c. The GFlops are now up to 83.9 and 84.2. system seems stable as I am posting at the same time on it. The only other thing I did was take the side off the case for a little breathing room. Hope it makes this run, no adjustment to vcore at 1.37 in BIOS. The test is fast with the higher GFLops each line before was taking 11 minutes and now down to 9 each calculation. Will post screen shot if it finishes without error.

let us know what and if anything like a cap limit pops up.
I asked to Asus VIP forum and I was told that with the hybrid VRM circuitry of R3E it is impossible.Quote:

Nice improvement, looks decent! :up:Quote:

I have tried many things to get a faster overclock stable, as so as I go over 4.5 the system craps out with no matter what the settings are. Any hints would be helpful.
I have tried the following,
Higher Vcore
Higher QPI
Higher IOH
Higher BLCK Vs Higher Multi for same clock rate
How much does CPU PLL have to play into it? I found 1.81 (board default to high) dropped to 1.65 is this to low. Should I try to up the CPU PLL!! So many bloody variables to take into account, fun tweaking but gets tedious at times, you just want it to work. Also contemplating going to water cooling, but will this just lower the temps, doesn't neccessary mean an instantly better or higher overclock. Lots of decisions to try.
dont listen to zalbard he is evil :p:Quote:

you have a nice chip/vcore going on, dont ruin it :up:
optimize your memory and voltages and as you learn your hardware
you will figure out what it takes.
do a bios template and post it up, it will help you in the future for
reference if anything goes.
Different CPU's have different needs for CPU PLL. My CPU likes 1.25875v CPU PLL. I've seen many others saying all sorts of values. 1.35, 1.4, 1.45, 1.55, etc...Quote:

except setting "trl" for 0003, it requires less tension, more stable, etc... than the 1301 or not? (I leave "trl" on AUTO)
thanks ;)
I seem to have a weird problem. after reappling tim on my cpu(took out cpu and reseated) my memory channels are all messed up. I had 6x2gb installed before, but now it seems that the only way i can get it to work is only have ram in channels a1/b1. If i have ram in a1/b1/c1(red one's) slot the system will only see 2gb as installed.
I can't get it to boot with any other memory combo beside channels a1/b1, but once it boots up it work fine, as i can run all app/play games and currently writing this on said machine.
what could the problem be? or is a rma needed.
Try reseating your CPU.
Also, when you reseat your cpu, check your LGA for bent pins.
i had to remove everything, took out mobo check for bent pins, cleaned and reinstalled and it working now.
also what score should i be getting from a stock 975 with 12gb of ram with IBT standard bench?
