    And that is info for me because i need two. I search some info and i found something like that: You can connect usb to the OC station connector

    ( in manual is: for OC station ONLY )

    True or False Guys
    IDK. I'll test when I get home, if no one else does it in the meantime.
    Well, after reading manual I decided not to test it, as it is not meant for anything else then OC Station.

    ***on-board jumper dependant
    I wanted to get around 4Ghz stable, but after i saw how C-States affect my Memory Benchmark i was a bit like, what the hell. I even wanted to keep C-States on cause sometimes i just surfing around and with C-States on it keeps my idle power consumption and temps down. But the issue with 21x was that when i played old games like System Shock 1 via Dosbox, the Turbo (22x on one core) kicked in and the rig was running around 4,2Ghz but it was unstable, so i got 0x101 (V-Core) BsoDs or the game was closed abnormally, but if i only got 21x Multi everything was fine, 25x LinX, 6h Small FFT P95 and this has kept me to the decission that i have to do something to optimize that issue.


    Try it i a moment hold on

    Damn coulnd't test it only have a Connector C joint
    but looked like the OC Station Connector have 10 Pins instead of 8-9 like USB
    I changed some settings in your template and colored them for you to try.

    One important thing: don't lower CPU PLL voltage below default, not good for bloomfield, only good for gulftown, in my experience.
    Also, put IOH voltage @ Auto for start and then lower it later, as you don't want some IOH induced instabilities.
    Try lowering VTT (QPI/DRAM) as I think it's too high for UnCore @ 3200, but it depends on IMC.
    If unstable, raise vCore a little.

    BTW, what BIOS are you using? And what cooling? Can't remember if you mentioned before.

    Yah, I think you'll like it. The only issue that I really had with it is that the only thing preventing this piece from shorting out is a 1/8" piece of neoprene adhered to the back of the circuit board. It does do the job, but a plastic housing would be nicer.

    This "thing" works good ? No problems with that ?

    You may have overlooked my post at the top of this page;
    Installed and apparently working fine on my rig.

    I can confirm that it doesn't work properly with an Aquaero.

    Works for me. Just tried it again. Anybody else?
    Bios: 0902
    Cooling: Prolimatech Megashadow + Artic Cooling MX-3 + 2x Xigmatek Fans @ 7v (replacing it maybe with 2 Be Quiet Silent Wings)
    but i have a question, i won't be unpolite no i even appreciate it that you helping me that much, but why should i give the processor 4,2Ghz ? 4Ghz is enough for me atm cause if i even give him that speed, would be cause of C-States that if i do something one one core only resulting in 22x200 (4,4Ghz)? My rig is perfectly stable now but the only culprit is this x22 multi which gives me headache cause then everything fails, i even tried LinX with only one core resulting like i said in Bsod 101.

    and btw lowering CPU PLL even helped me lowering my volts 2 notches, cause first i was running 21x191 ~ 4 Ghz. If i set in to default settings 1.8 i got LinX "stopped upon error" warnings. First i set it to only 1.5v but now i lowered it to 1.4 cause i think it even lowered my temps 1-2 °C

    Edit: I have just tried your optimized template with 4.2 Ghz but i think atm it's a no go, cause i stopped testing after i put in about 1.36v it even then crashed 0x050 BsoD but temps rose to about 93 °C which is damn hot, even now on evening here (have 29 °C room temp lol) but your Loadline Calibration tip is pretty awesome but rose my temps about 3 °C per core with LinX @ 203x20, but i was able to lower the v-core a bit
