Anyone post some good settings for 3.4ghz, my room is hot so want it at 3.4 till i get more fans,

Please help using the step up to qx6850 @ 3ghz at the mo.

Check my sig for my system details. thanks

This is my 3.4GHz setting BIOS 907

hey thanks, on the set what you need bit on cpu voltage how do i know what i need? thanks

I would start about 1.375 (depending on your VID) and raise or lower till it's stable
I have a VID of 1.325 and I need about 1.42 for PRIME and OCCT to be stable

any ideas why i cant set cpu ratio control to manual? it doesnt highlight to allow me to change but will let me enter numbers only but then i cant see the ratio cmos setting..

Im on 903 bios

also im suspicious of the cpu level up feature, could i cause damage to cpu or anything else but i leaving it on crazy setting which runs at 3.5ghz

For some reason it doesn't highlight. But you can change it with the + and the - on the number pad. That should work. Not sure why they changed it, but not complaining, the bios got massively better from the bios they changed it in, onwards.
