i7 860 - eVGA P55 FTW

[OC Nub]

well done on stable 4Ghz OC Nub What are your Bios settingsand cooler?

Thank you.
I have these settings in bios:
VCore 1.4125v
PCH Voltage 1.125v
CPU PLL VCore 1.80v
CPU VTT Voltage 1.375v
DRam Voltage 1.65v
With VDroop
1600 Strap
Advanced Mem Settings-1067, 8-8-8-24, trfc 60.

Chrono Detector: I am not familiar with that cooler, I am not sure what temps will be with that. To pass an 8hr blend run it may require a bump or 2 in vcore, but is fine for now.

I also have very cool air on my rad so these temps are below what would be normal. I tested the temp of my rad (not the actual water temp) with a DMM and it sits at 12c when running blend or LinX. I turn the AC down to 60f when stress testing, it sits directly behind the rad.

what about the PWM Frequencies? also the boot up and the eventual voltages are the same? and the lastest: why you haven't disabled the vdroop? have you left the QPI and the PCIex on Auto?

too many questions?

thanks, mate

Bios setting:




The board over volts with the Without VDroop setting enabled so I disabled it.

Sorry for the large pics.

TY mate

i've the same question also for you (like Hoki) why you don't followed the Shamino tips for the other settings? your ocing is on work in progress? :p

also what you think about the pciex frequency @around 110mhz? isn't too much?

I have always run the pci-e freq at 100, have not found that 104 as suggested on the evga forums has helped me with stability so far. As for the LLC/without vdroop setting, this board has very little vdrop or vdroop compared to other boards I have used in the past. I think it is better to not use it when possible. The board does over volt A LOT compared to my Giga boards when using LLC/without vdroop. This is my first P55 board, also my first i7 CPU. I am just trying to learn the settings as everyone else is, just posting what I have been able to do so far. I am new to this platform as is everyone else.

we are over the same boat, mate

i'm waiting for my parts (mobo from UK, cpu from Germany and WB from Italy, the DIMMs are already arrived from Ireland ), so maybe we can give a hand together ...
