Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[Brahmzy]

great news - congrats!
For the life of me I cant get stable at 19*210 - can you post your complete bios settings please.

This is on an ASUS P6T WS Pro FWIW:

CPU - 19
BCLK - 211
DRAM Freq - 1269 (624.5 (2:6))
UCLK - AUTO (Can go up one step further, but I see no tangible perf. benefit)
QPI Freq - AUTO
DRAM Timing - 8-9-9-23, 1T (any lower and Prime+LinX BSOD's at 4.0GHz)
CPU V - 1.375 BIOS (2 increments lower and Prime+LinX locks box up, no BSOD)
CPU PLL V - AUTO
QPI/DRAM V - AUTO
IOH - AUTO
IOH PCIE V - AUTO
ICH V - AUTO
ICH PCIE V - AUTO
DRAM BUS V - 1.60 (any higher up to 1.66 doesn't seem to help anything except heat up my CPU more. 2 increments lower and Prime+LinX BSOD's)
All other DRAM V - AUTO
LLC - EN
CPU DIFF - AUTO
CPU Clock SKEW - AUTO
CPU SS - DIS
IOH Clock SKEW - AUTO
PCIE SS - DIS

HT - EN

All other Intel CM/TM/VT crap is off.

Funny, everything on AUTO offers me the best results. I tried messing for hours upon hours with PLL and especially QPI voltages, all would break stability. Also, I would disable HT and go for raw clock speed, except I need the 4 other "cores" for rendering purposes.

Full load after hours of Prime+LinX gets my lapped TRUE Black to around 87/88 degrees C. I'm fine with that. We'll see if these i7's degrade, or "burn-in" at all...

And S3 resume (sleep resume) doesn't wake the vid-card up... just black screen. That SUCKS - I rely heavily on using sleep functionality in Vx64.
