Since i run with intel stock cooler atm, cause i wait for my new case, i made some mild oc tests to see what this baby can do. I must admit that this combo is really sensitive in voltage adjustements. But i have two questions atm: 1. Is it normal that DFI Led screen post FF while in normal operation under win? Thats what its supposed to show? 2. Currently testing 21x181, cpu 1.25v idle-1.22v load, VTT 1.26v idle/load, 1.55v dimm at 1800c9. Is it normal to need more vtt than vcore?
    FF is the normal code for "Bios is done, next...". It's the last code possible in a 2 digit hexadecimal readout...it literally means 15-15 which is as high as it counts....it's good to see FF. That means it passed everything and now your OS can/should boot.

    I can't get 209 or 210. I put the mult. to 18, 19... but I can't pass of 209 of BCLK... what can I do?

    I have it watercooled. The mems are the 3x2GB DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum OCZ 7-7-7-20 at 1600 1.65v.

    I've tried with HT off but nothing... anybody helps me?

    I've tried too all your BIOS configurations but... the systems doesn't boot up. When the Windows Booting Screen appears... it freezes and restarts.

    Thx for all people!

    ByE!
    Wait...you already have a 65% overclock and it's not enough . Getting your BCLK over 200 is tough. Very tough to get anything over 210 for anyone. Good luck with your bios tweaking, I would guess at this point you would need to address timings and other values to squeeze those last few BLCKs out.

    thnx in advance
    hmm, don't use the mobo fan headers?! All of my fans run off either my fan rheobus or off the PSU directly. If you absolutely have to have it there...for whatever reason, turn off your PSU when you shut down then. Problem solved.

    Vcore
    ure base uncore is 2400 and with vtt 1.2v. then look at ure dram most of the dram ic's are rated 1333mhz etc
    so y not try a low multi with ht on/off say 18, dram 1200mhz bclk 200, uncore 2400, vtt set 1.23, dram set 1.53, dram timing 9-9-9-24 2T tRFC 88 ( depending on ure ram or go 10-10-10-24 2T,) set a vcore and run linx or ibt full mem stress.. make sure u use up atleast 95% of ure mem available. for 3gb try 2.5gb(10-20rounds) stress and 6gb around 5.2gb stress ( 5-10rounds).
    take note i7 voltage is very heat dependent so the better ure cooling the lower ure voltages.. dont ak me why.
    example i can pass 3 rounds of at 4.2ghz ht 0ff at 1.32v but to pass 10 i need around 1.37v..
    u can lower this later once u have found ure vtt,dram voltages.

    VTT
    ok say once u found ure vcore example 3.8ghz bclk 200 . so say example for most ppl out there using ram at dram 1600mhz CL8.
    up ure dram to 1600, uncore 3200, set ure dram at relax timings first example 9-9-9-24 2T tRFC 88. vdimm at 1.65v, vtt 1.36, ioh/ich 1.15
    this time run memtest hci. for 3gb say around 2000% around 2 hours and 6gb around 300 % around 2 hours.try to stress the cores and ram wit this if ure runing with ht so run 8xmemtest hci with equal amount so ure mem usage atleast 95%. very easy to find the vtt.
    reboot issue, hang, just up ure vtt. errors are usually vdimm and timings. ioh voltage sometimes errors and also u can see ure usb devices acting weird.

    VDIMM and Memtimings
    CHange ure vdimm to either set 1.65/1.665v with the rated timings.
    FOr me currently running prime95 25.9 64bit blend. IF u can pass the first group of 15 mins.. ure good to go. Errors in the this first group of test the 1024kb is vdimm, mem timings related. bsod/hang.. 1n/2n and vtt related.
    double check with memtest hci and memtest + to be sure.


    try this way rusty cause showing a template.. everybody has to guess on what u have a confirmed voltage and etc etc and guess whats not stable.

    hope this helps.
    doing it this way u eliminate each voltages
    and also u will know which voltage is insufficient for the problem that occurs etc.

    after than if linx is not the vcore that u want.. hey try others like prime etc and lower the voltages to what is acceptable and stable for u.

    btw cpu setting disable everything except executable bits.. ht on/off up to u. ppm disabled also.

    when ure done with the above run linx/ibt again.. take note because of the increase in vtt .. ure proc temps and system temps will go up
    Would you mind if I copy/paste this for some other forums . Pretty good explanation of how to work your way up into a stable OC instead of just "trying what others posted" I give credit where credit is due but just wanted to ask.

    I got a pretestet cpu here, its tested @ 1,296v for 3 hours prime, if i set this voltage i got a bluescreen after a few minutes prime.
    Yes, too low of any voltage can exhibit BSOD or lockups. Pretested how? Did you do it or are you taking someones word for it? In what? With what ram? Was that voltage measured with a multimeter or bios rating or software reading? There is more than just vCore voltage involved in an OC. Even with almost identical parts you often have to use different settings to get stable. Back down everything and find BCLK max, then CPU max, then find the best combination that you can run...imo anyways. I like seeing others show their settings but I don't ever use them. I just take note that X person had to bump up his IOH/OCH @ xxx BCLK for example and keep that in mind when I reach my tops.

    What'S the difference between core and uncore and what are the influence of both?
    Core is, well the core. Uncore is everything NOT the core. I don't know the 100% specifics but it is your memory controller and cache for example...I think. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong with a better more specific definition.

    I was under the impression that IOH/ICH had more effect on USB stability but VTT affects overall stability period so it does make some sense.
