well one issue may be that you should set you uncore to 2xmem+1. So if mem is x6, set uncore to x13. Read that in one of gigabyte's walkthroughs to overclocking. Worth a short.

Lol, nice pun. I'll definitely try this and somehow I missed this bit of info as I thought I was supposed to use Uncore = 2x DDR memory speed. Is the +1 rule only for stability at higher BCLKS, or is it just plain more stable in general?

still pushing mine, seemed rock solid in every bench so far.

bios settings prease!!! thanks dude

Ha ha

how many times are you going to post that?

[Splave]

are you changing ACHI to IDE?

yeah finally figured it out, cd was too scratched but I have a backup

Anyone been able to get 19x211 on their board? I thought I would try the 19x multi to see if I could lower my vcore any from 1.4V and 4Ghz at 190x20 w/ Turbo but the 19x multi doesn't want to work for me at all. It freezes the second I start Prime95 even though I'm still using 1.4V vcore. I tried upping all the voltages more but that didn't help. I haven't figured out what the weak link is yet. I'm going to try playing with the performance mode and the clock skew for the CPU and MCH to see if that helps any.

Reverend Maynard,

On that 4.3 OC that you posted pics of, what are your mulitpliers at?

QPI 36x
Uncore 16x
Memory 8x?

Yep, all I did was raise the QPI/VTT to 1.4125 and the vcore to 1.475 iirc. All of the other voltages and settings were left the same.

[ReverendMaynard]

Well technically you would have started the name calling first if your English was better

you're doing tremendous things for this thread. Keep it up

Guys, please take it to PMs if you insist on continuing this.

You're welcome.

I have him on ignore and reported. Hopefully it'll stop.

You are the one off topic.. I PM'd you and you keep wanting to continue it in here

So I finally pulled the trigger on an i7 motherboard and RAM purchase. I decided on the UD3R board and 3X1GB of G.Skill DDR3 1600 RAM. I will post results as soon as I have time to get everything assembled and spend some time clocking. I'm shooting for 4 GHz on air, cooling provided by a TRUE.

You two were so busy argueing like a couple of school girls that everyone managed to just ignore my last post I see lol.

So has anyone tried running on the x19 multiplier with a high BLCK? If so what are your settings?

try the 181.20 drivers... you need to have 180 series drivers just to be able to enable two or three card SLI on x58.. but a single GTX295 shouldn't apply to that rule.. regardless, the 181.20s are the new drivers which support the GTX295 so I would think you would have to use those anyways to enable all the features on that card.

I'm on them, those are the only two driver versions supporting the card, i tried the betas to see if that fixed the problem but no cigar. On my 12th~ hour of troubleshooting now, starting to just re-do things i've already tried..

I've gotten 211 x 19x to work but for my chip it requires a really high qpi/vtt. I think i was running like 1.75 - 1.79 qpi/vtt so I gave up on it.

I have seen others run it with under 1.4 qpi/vtt though. they probably have a better chip.

What are your settings?

I pushed the qpi/vtt all the way up to 1.55v and my DRAM to 1.75v and it locks up after a few seconds every time in Prime95. And I was running Small FFTs instead of Blend thinking it wouldn't push the IMC as hard. If mine requires more than 1.55V I don't think I'm going to even bother. That just defeats the purpose of me going to the x19 to lower the vcore.

Right now I'm running 21x191 at just under 1.4v and testing for stability. It's been stable at 1.4v but trying to lower it a notch or two. I keep jumping around between BIOS's to see if that helps any. I've tried F4j, F4m, and F5c. I'm back on F4m now.

Hey guys,

I have a UD5P sample here, and was told its possible to flash it with a bios from the Extreme as they have identical pcb's?
Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

I havent tryed x19 as It would too greatly limit my max oc, I thought something was said about odd multis are the way to go so why not x21?

Ive tried 5 cpu's and none of them could do 20x200 with HT enabled.

Have you tried a different brand board to see if maybe it's your motherboard holding you back? You would think out of 5 that at least 1 could do 20x200 even though they don't see to like the even multi's as much as the odds.
