New to Bloomfield

[skier]

Hi all, So I have recently upgraded my main system to a 920 D0, EVGA X58 SLI (758) with 12GB (3x4) Corsair 2000 CL9 RAM, and am trying to go through the full process of overclocking the platform, but I can't seem to break 192 BCLOCK, I am currently pumping +375mV on the CPU VTT (QPI/VTT) and have the memory close to defaults as I was having trouble from 180-190 with the memory at the lower multiplier (may have just been the DIMM voltage)

So just wondering, is +375mV safe? I assume as miahallen mentioned in his guide that generally default is 1.15 so that makes me at 1.525v, is that true for EVGA boards? I wish it didn't list things as +xxxmV instead of saying what it actually was... also, I have Vcore manually set to 1.0875

TLDR: is ~1.525v VTT safe? and is 192BClock reasonably normal for a 920?



Thanks

That voltage is quite high. I personally used and additional 0.06V on my Vtt to get an easy 200MHz on my Frankenputer that I built from spare parts. I'm no expert, but try lowering your Uncore multiplier and see what you get.

dropped the uncore and memory multi's and now have the VTT @+275, just random settings thrown at it stable, so it seems like i just wont be able to have the memory running that fast (w/uncore) with this CPU combo so i'll just have to play more with timings as I would rather not have the VTT that high if I can avoid it!
