DFI UT X58-T3EH8 continued - Part 2

Well I still having problems to get 4.2ghz also with 1.34VTT.

But I will leave this cpu and I will try with one with a better batch to see if here the problem is the cpu or me :p

Secondly, I would like to hear from people with this board and Windows 7, how can I do to make a RAID if I cant installa ICH10R drivers, I downladed the ones on the Intel site properly for Windows 7, but when I try to install them a notification shows up explaning that the system doenst meet the minimun requirements.
So, what can I do?

Thanks as always

4.2GHZ would depend on your CPU-batch, but sometimes you need to find the right/sweet spot for your setup, so don't give up too fast.
I installed w7 on my OCZ Vertex 30GB (single disk RAID-mode), without loading/installing any raid-driver and it worked just fine. I got some error when i tried to load the driver too, but it wasn't requited anyways. Did you try just to installing w7 on it?.
I installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager on w7 later.

BCLK216 is not final yet), but the Core sames to be stable too.

Thanks for the support, but maybe tomorrow Ill get a new 920 D0 with a good batch seems they are hand picked, so I will try them.
I also thought about the sweet spot, maybe 200BCLK wasnt a nice spot, but I tried higher and nothing happens, and to be honest, trying less is not the idea.

And If I try high BCLK with a lowe multiplier on cpu, ram will be affected by the high bclk and I will have to lower the multiplier. I dont think is the best idea.

Yes I tried to install this on W7: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...-bit*&lang=eng

But it makes appear a warning like I told you.

Also I didnt have RAID to do now, but I was thining in an upgrade and I wanted to know how was the stuff with W7.

Now I will try to install the one on your link.

Thanks for your answers

I personally don't mind loosing RAM-performance, because X58 has introduced such a huge RAM-performance that it is an overkill for most 24/7 scenarios anyways, unless you are using very rare RAM-demanding applications.

If I have to choose, i would rather choose high BCLK, than good RAM-timings/performance. High BCLK will give more options for CPU-OC (and in some cases better performance too). Right now I'm running with loose timing (for these sticks) and it seams to be making it easier to run stable at BLCK216.

Right now I'm trying to get @4.1GHZ(19x216) stable, and if I can find right voltages/parameters to run RAM, IMC, Uncore, QPI ,.. "really stable" at BCLK216, then @4.3GHZ(20x215) would just be the matter of proper cooling.

I installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager on w7 later.

Did you could install that one?
Because I also tried it and It didnt work

I have installed Intel Matrix Storage Manager 8.9.0.1023 on w7 RC1 64bit.


Moving up to @4.2GHZ(210x20) 1.248v, SuperPI 32M went like a dream with VVT=1.25v VVT is set to 1.23v in BIOS, but flips between 1.24-1.26v under stress on SG, and Everest is reporting it to be like 1.25v.
Both Vcore and VVT is dependent on the CPU-batch, but my CPU is showing the VVT=Vcore trend gets more visible at higher speeds.
