Cheers for that
Just been reading up on OCing, found this site with little guide - you think its good place to start or are there any other guides i should be looking at

http://www.linustechtips.com/how-to/...clocking-guide

Thats a quick very basic start. I do not know what I am doing myself so I am not mch help, but i do know there is a lot of useful info on the forum that could possibly even confuse you, lol.

Let us know how everything turns out. I am currently pullng my hair out trying to figure out whats going on with my system.

Nice one Well tomorrow is the big day when i install everything, if it boots up fine and all is working at stock speed i'll be very happy

I am sure you can at least get it running at stock.
even with my problems, I have mine @ 179*21; which is almost 3.8ghz.
What did you say you got for ram? Dominators? seems like the most popular choice. I am contemplating what ram I want to try this time, I currently have supertalent 1600 3x2gb which I got for $100ish. this was when dominators were $225-250 and others were well over 150. If my issue is my ram, then thats what I get for getting cheap ram, lol although supertalent makes some good stuff.

I just dont know if I want to pay 165 for dominators when others can be had for under 100 after rebates; and used to be priced up around 200 as well. waiting to hear back from BZ. already got recs from UT. I may hunt down another mobo as well to test; not sure If I want another Bloodrage though. Locally I can buy Bloodrage, gigabyte, evga, asus and Biostar. I was thinking about biostar cause its only 250, but I dont think there is much support for them, not sure. I just dont know what to do. wish i had more hardware to test with.

Hopefully everything is gonna work when i plug it in
Yeah got dominators, mostly as have always had corsair dominators and know they have good support (theramguy). Also here in UK (London) they have very good resale value. Got it for £145, not bad for 6GB considering cheapest 6GB ram you can get here is around £90...only live ones so might as well. Also was gonna go fro 920 but when got offered 940 for £299.....just couldnt resist

Heard a lot of good things about Bloodrage so thought might as well, you cant say no to its looks Gonna see how it goes....hopefully i will not be disappointed

22x multi

[DJSUB]

i just wandering if they can enable the 22x 4 cores 8 threads on future bios?
i also heard that i920-940 has locked memory multi according to saaya.
why the other boards can use 2:10 with i920 D0?
is there any way to use the other memory multi on BR?

thanks!

[DJSUB]

any news about the G22 bios?
please post some oc result?

[quake6]

Could you post your settings for results above?

Very good results, congrats

[BenchZowner]

any news about the G22 bios?
please post some oc result?

Will test it later on.

[DJSUB]

ok later i will post my settings


i'm back to grade1 with this X58+i7 proc.
the proc is 5 days old tonight.
and i'm still looking for the best result

[DJSUB]

Very good results, congrats

thanks

no, thats not possible, locked by intel... :/
nono, the ES chips had locked memory multis, the final 940s and 920s had all mem multis unlocked
you cant get 10x mem multi on BR?
did you set uncore multi to 20x?
the uncore multi has to be double the mem multi or more

[DJSUB]

thanks for the fast reply saaya

[quake6]

@saaya: Is there any possibility in future BIOS release to change options for adding voltage in +mV to real voltage? Also some other stuff need to be repair, like voltage droop... And is there maybe some plans for BIOS optimizations for higher BCLK? that is what will make this board really good... Talk to BIOS engineerings

@djsub: when will you post some settings

[saaya]

yes, its possible but will take a lot of effort from the bios engineers and i dont think theyll do it :/
well with p07 and p08 vdroop is supposed to be much better, the engineers still dont want to cut vids from the cpu entirely and just set vcore completely independantly, it could kill the cpu in some scenarios... in theory... yet thats what most other boards are doing to get stable vcores... so i hope they will at least release a beta like that

bclock optimizations, well... if you could tell me or them what to do, they might do it, but atm they are pretty clueless and didnt do any research in that regards as far as i know. i think until now higher bclocks were just a fun tweak thing to do, but with chips clocking better and better 920s are starting to be bclock limited, at least the good ones on water and ln2... but then again, even the best tweaked boards for high bclocks can barely get above 222 fully stable... so how useful bclock tweaking really is is questionable.

if you ask me, its very suspicious that qpi craps out at almost exactly 4ghz or 8gt/s for pretty much every board and cpu combo... that makes it sound like a somewhat artificial limitation. its not the first time intel did something like this, its just that previously they were rather clumsy in trying to prevent or limit overclocking, this time they seem to have locked things up pretty tight :/

[ZillaPct]

Saaya, I tried a cpu 920 D0 Boxed with the bios P07 the mainboard don't Change memory multi max is only X8 with this cpu on board in any scenario....

Report this to engineer

Batch cpu is 3850A 920D0

[quake6]

I hope they release some beta for that... Vdroop isn't that much of a problem, cause 1.6v-1.7v is probably MAX what are you going to use, cause i7 don't scale good with voltage above 1.6v

About bclock, 220 would be pretty good. That is some kind of golden middle, so I hope that they'll try to mess with bios and give us that option. If not, then it would be okay for some option to be automatical, like increasing uncore multipliers when selecting a higher memory multiplier, or to improve the droop you have to disable CxE and the droop compensation setting...

Good D0 but with what cool the cpu?, when used i7 with the turbo check if you have the CPU to really work at full speed. Each processor has a protection circuit from overheating when the temperature exceeds tj -10, the maximum temperature, the processor reduces its frequency on different cores without any notice.

As you can see if all the core work?

The first is to use a Wattmeter, if the wattage at full speed down means that the cpu is cutting power to lower the temperature.

the second is to use intensive programs on the core, type cinebench R10, put in Cpuz window open, you will see the frequency of the cpu and this down gradually until the temperature does not stabilize, this happens very quickly, we are talking about milliseconds for each core. A problem, that you can meet, is that Cpu Z does not correctly detect this phenomenon, because the program detects the frequency of a single core, in some cases does not change even though in reality the thermalprotection is working on the core.

Always use Realtemp just reaches zero tj is useless rise without getting cool the cpu, this not ever be working at full speed on all the core...if they were really only Can a beautiful blue screen......

Over 4400mhz cooled better your cpu

Guys, can you shed some light on something? When im in Turbo mode, something odd happens. The multi sticks now (with P06 & P07 Bioses) however sometimes the Bclk throttles up and down, and i cant work out why. Temps are well within reason. Voltages are fine etc. Ive been running prime all day, with no problem, then ive rebooted my system a few times and went to play a game a noticed its started doing it again at the exact same settings? Sometimes it does it, some times it doesnt. Often turning turbo off, booting into windows, and then rebooting and switching it on again fixes it.

Any ideas?

[MarkInSD]

Hi,

Ok so I've got my BR built out, Wc'd, p06 bios etc.

Problem I'm having is that when I use all three sticks of a triple channel kit I only get 4gb recognised in bios. On a lark I *mixed* two kits using two dimms from one and one from the second and blammo 6GB on boot.

I've tried all three dimms in both sets one at a time and all three dimm slots one at a time and everything seems good there.

The two sets of RAM I'm using are Kingston HyperX 2000mhz (KHX16000D3ULT1K3/6GX) and Patriot Viper 1600MHz (PVT38G1600ELK).

Any help would be appreciated.. Im tearing my hair out!

Thanks
-Mark

Try setting your Uncore/QPI voltage to near what your vcore is. It could be your memory controller not getting enough voltage.

On a side note, got my DO in today. Here are the results:

http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=555012

That was at 1.39v Vcore.

Not completely stable, but I will have more time tonight to play with it. With results like this it makes me chuckle everytime I think of the Hardocp review.

you have to increase the uncore multiplier
i know, other boards do this by default...

bclock throttles up and down? what do you mean?
it fluctuates a bit? thats normal, most likely its just an inaccuracy in the clock reading of cpuz or other tools, the actual clock doesnt fluctuate.

could be that your cpu is throttling... it drops the cpu multis quickly, which cpuz might misinterpret as the bclock dropping, since the register for the cpu multiplier remains the same, but the overall cpu clocks drop...
check the temps

very nice utnorris, how about 22?

[Utnorris]

Is there a way to adjust the PCIe bus FSB? Say from 100 to 103Mhz?

[saaya]

no, not atm... asked about this a couple of times already...

[Utnorris]

Looks like I am stuck at 4600 since I cannot push the BCLK past 220. On a positive note I can run 4200 at just 1.26v vcore with my new DO chip, use to have to be 1.36v, not that really matters, but still chalking it up as a win.
