Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

having QPI at anything over 4Ghz could really cause stability from what i've understood. can you lower it under 4GHZ?

You mean instability above 4Ghz, right?

Since im only running 180 BCLK (44x) QPI is not yet over 4000Mhz, only 3960Mhz.

I can run 180 BCLK with QPI multi @ x36, but only with 6x RAM divider. Anything above 180 BCLK is no go, no matter what voltages or dividers I use.

have you tried setting ram at 8x and uncore at 16x?

Yup, and it fails if BCLK is over ~170 with 38x QPI divider.
