I took it down for now DM, may repost later if need be. It sets up pretty well on SNB...Quote:

OK, got it. Thanks anyway. I was just curious, as I like to learn stuff. ;)Quote:

i have a strange problem my cpu boots on windows @5600
with intelspeedstep and c1e on
with this settings off i have a black screen and system hang ups
what i can to do?
marvell controller no wo rks good with cpu at high frequency
and corrupts my windows
i have better pcmark 05 score @5440=40200
a 5600 i have only 40100!!!!:(

thank you RAJA
Just to confirm the implications...I did test with the VccIO at 1.2V and the SA at "auto" and the test failed....also, with both on auto, the test failed. The only way for the test to pass was with SA boosted.Quote:

Thanks for the confirmation. :up:Quote:

Should add that on our boards my memory clocking results are all tied to VCCIO - and that's with Hypers running past DDR3-2100. On top of that remember the pin location for voltage rails is well stipulated - so the voltage labelling is correct.
-Raja
Same here. Stability with PSC memory at 2300MHz require a bump in VCCIO. VCCSA changes does nothing for me.Quote:

On top of that on Z68 tying the two rails is allowed which takes the suggestion of any such delta out of the equation under all normal operating conditions.
-Raja
its safe to run vccio ! 1.2?
Most CPUs don't need that much to run a decent memory speed.Quote:

The System Agent houses the traditional North Bridge. You get a 16 PCIe 2.0 lanes that can be split into two x8s. There’s a redesigned dual-channel DDR3 memory controller that finally restores memory latency to around Lynnfield levels (Clarkdale moved the memory controller off the CPU die and onto the GPU).
The SA also has the DMI interface, display engine and the PCU (Power Control Unit). The SA clock speed is lower than the rest of the core and it is on its own power plane.
Raja, is it possible my results were different than yours due to the D1 ES CPU I was testing with?
The core voltage for a functional unit is not the same thing as the transceiver IO or termination voltage for any associated signal line (unless engineered in such a way). It is the IO voltage that is important for overclocking as that drives the transceivers which receive and send data. Think of it as vIOH and VTT. The placement of the memory controller was never in doubt - my opening response said that it sits to the side but the interconnect will be driven by the IO voltage. The main thing here is to understand the role of IO.Quote:

-Raja
did i understand this correct, that a increase of the SA can stabilize the IO then ?
For memory overclocking? Not in my experience thus far or those of several testers I work with. If you have a board it might be worth seeing for yourself what works for you and does not.Quote:

thx Raja
No worries. Praz has had DDR3-2300 speeds from 8GB (4GB modules) and DDR3-2133 from 16GB (4X4GB) and has not had to touch VCCSA but did have to move VCCIO which is quite telling.Quote:

Cool SV, be sure to go up/down in small steps. Too high can also cause instability.Quote:

I am using the intel driver from the asus DL site.
Is there anyway to disable the jmicron controller and boot from the SSD?
Thanks.
You need to use the red SATA ports next to the black SATA portsQuote:
