Core i7 Overclocking by Batch #

[DavyBoy]

Thanks guys, I just stopped it to double check the BIOS settings were what I posted in that last comment, and everything was right, apart from QPI PLL, it is set to 1.240v, not 1.160v.

I have dropped Vcore down to 1.315v in the BIOS and I will try running Prime again to see if it is stable there, I saved the previous profile just incase it isn't though.

I think the main thing with o/cing these i920's is finding the right balance between all the main voltages, because I have tried running Prime with 1.35v Vcore and 1.415v QPI before, and it would crash after an hour, but I have considerably less QPI this time, and Prime ran for hours without any issues, and I have also been browsing at the same time to..

@phsinc, I have LLC enabled mate, if I didn't I would have to compensate for .09v of Vdroop, so that would mean I would have to set Vcore to 1.39v or something ridiculous like that, I have a 4GHz stable profile with it disabled, but tbh, I don't see the point in having it disabled, lots of guys on another forum I frequent say that it can damage chips, but I asked people here about it, and they said unless I am using xtreme voltages then it isn't going to cause any damage at all...
