Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[fornowagain]

Gigabyte takes GT/s as reference so they have a 36/40/44 multi,

Mines 36/44/48?

DRAM speed must be in a 1:2 ratio or less to Uncore speed which in turn must be in 1:1 or less ratio to QPI link speed (8:9 Uncore to QPI or lower is preferred as the more you approach 1:1 the more unstable the system becomes).

Can I ask where the 8:9 ratio comes from?

Ok, so that means for me running memory 8x uncore 16x and QPI 36x what do I have the change to get 200 x 21 stable?

From this..



Going by that, by dropping the mem multi along with uncore. Although you could push it to x15 and stay under the described ratio.
