Core i7 Overclocking by Batch #

[rge]

If he disables EIST he won't be able to get Turbo mode (21x multiplier).
Btw, i think that there is no need for 1.36V of QPI/VTT voltage. My D0 is prime stable @ stock QPI/VTT voltage on 4.2GHz with 1.3V vcore.

Yeah, i know, every CPU is different but 1.36V of QPI/VTT voltage is overkill.

EDIT: I see now that he is on stock cooling. I really don't recommend to go over 3.6GHz with stock cooling.

Obviously you dont have a GB board. EIST has nothing to do with turbo on GB board.

I suggested those settings because he has been trying for several days, and already tried lower settings and was unable to get into windows with 1.38vcore and 1.32qpi/vtt, so like you said yourself, your settings are irrelevant for vcore qpi/vtt. My chip needs 1.34 qpi/vtt for 21x200, any lower and bsods...but I did not go by that irrelevant information either, instead I read what he previously tried.

And bottom line, once found out he was on stock cooling, pretty much made everything moot, as that was likely his problem from the beginning.
