Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

You you got that right, if you increase the vdimm you have to watch that your qpi vlotage is not lower then 0.5V then your vdimm voltage.

There are people that run Qpi voltage 1,4V+ so i dont think its gona be a big problem. But you dont really need uncore clock that high, cause the gained performance is only benchable but thats all. You wont notice any difference while working.

I know it won't be noticeable, its just for Benchmarks, not 24/7 work.

OK, I went to try what you said above and now I am having a very weird issue.
I am trying to work with DRAM multipliers higher than 8 but I fail to post

For instance, I set bclk to 180, DRAM to 1800Mhz, and Uclk to 3600 (twice as dram).
I can't post, no matter what DRAM voltage I use, I climbed from 1.8v all the way up to 2.1v and I couldnt post.
It seems that either using uclk multi higher than 16 or DRAM multi higher than 8 is impossible for unknown reason.
I actually tried that on the newest BIOS came out about a week ago, 1102 But I don't know if its due to that.

Am I missing something here or is that a known issue/limitation ?

I tried to raise the QPI link to 22/24X, it seemed like it was really doing it but when I opened CPU-Z i found it was actually still 18x, is that normal ?

Help/ideas will be much appreciated.
