Nice Sergio.:up:
Only AIDA64 outdated....:D
thanks stasio but remember what i told u about aida...it make my fps go down if i forgot to close it...Quote:

Im have to copy you sergio as these setting look great for my 1600mhz setup :up:Quote:

I just installed the new F3 BIOS on my UD7 B3 board updating from F3h. The new install gave me the infinite loop on start up but clearing the CMOS fixed that.
I am trying to find the best Vcore/LLC setting with the new LLC levels.
With BIOS F3h LLC Level 1
I had 1.480 set in BIOS for 47X.
This gave me 1.464 idle and 1.428 load (using HWiNFO)
With BIOS F3 LLC Level 6
I have 1.460 set in BIOS for 47X.
I get mostly 1.464 idle with 1.476 sometimes and 1.428 load and 1.440 sometimes.
Does this look good or would you recommend I try any other settings. It seems P95 stable so far. I am testing now but only for just over 2 hours so far. I think what I am trying to understand is which setting is best and why. For example, I could use a higher Vcore set in BIOS with a lower LLC setting or a lower Vcore with a higher LLC setting. Is one preferable over the other as long as I am getting the desired voltage I need for stability which is about 1.428 on load. What if I could get 1.428 on load and idle. Would that be better yet since it seems unnecessary to have more voltage on idle than on load or am I misunderstanding something. I am relatively new to overclocking.
Oddly, (at least I think it is odd), on my UD7 B2 revision board this same CPU needed less Vcore. I had 1.460 set in BIOS and would get 1.452 idle and 1.416 load. This was 24 hour P95 stable. But with the new B3 revision board it was not stable until I increased Vcore to 1.480 (both LLC Level 1 and all other settings the same). I realize every board is different but I am trying to understand why the CPU would need so much more Vcore. I thought the board didn’t matter much in overclocking these chips. Can anyone explain what the difference might be between the 2 boards. Or is that considered a small difference that should be expected going from one board to another.
Thanks, Kent
sure no problem, but this is only prime stable, it will not pass linx:up:Quote:

glad to see you finally hopped on the sandy bandwagon, your going to like it, even if you do have to use a gigabut:ROTF:Quote:

now all I need is a 56x or greater cpu
Try LLC level 8 and push the vcore a bit higher.Quote:

Nice chart Sin. Thanks for doing this.Quote:

Thanks Falkentyne. I think I understand. I have heard of the degrading. Does this then stabilize after the break in period or does it continuously degrade needing more and more voltage. Or is it different depending how much a chip is overclocked.Quote:

I think the temps were lower but not by much but when I finally found the stable setting on the B3, the temps were higher (due to the degrading chip I suppose) but not by too much and it is difficult to know because the ambient temp may have been a little different plus the way I used the thermal grease also.
Thanks for the help.
thanks bud :up:Quote:

thanks bud did you try what i told you ? im on F3 bios it does the sameQuote:

yea but i got it! its actually easy to hit with a probe, and it was simple to solder(I DO NOT ADVOCATE TAKING A SOLDERING IRON TO YOUR BOARD< YOU WILL VOID THE WARRANTY). I like to solder, so i did it.
Honestly you can hit it with a probe if i can solder a wire on it LOL, the choke and cap show basically the same voltage +/- 3mv or so.
I tried what you said and it does slightly raise, but then the falls back down. the cap didn't raise like that, and i think the sudden rise was to charge the caps.
To pass LinX, you need vdimm 1.68v for 7-9-7 :yepp:Quote:

not on the M4E, I have a two sets and they can both run 7-9-7-21-1T-88 at 1.66, and with lower vtt, so there is no reason why they can't on the UD7 with the same vdimmQuote:

Here is an update of the little 2500K I bought just for the hell of it....pushed it a little more.
so more VTT is the answer? then probably at stock one board is giving more power on the VTT on. On the UD7 the CPU PLL is overvolted at stock. The VTT is exactly as is read.Quote:
