UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

What have you tried setting QPI-DramV to>?

I have not set this manually yet. I wish someone with a good 4.4-4.6ghz O/C would post their settings like I have above. It would be much easier for me as a STARTING point. I started with the above settings and hit 4.2ghz stable (with your suggested tests) right off the bat. My problem seems to be going any higher is going to require more customized voltages on things I currently have set to "auto".

If you could suggest voltages that I currently have set to auto, to their "mid-range" manual setting that would be great. I can easily bump it up/down from there.

Thanks so much for your help it is GREATLY appreciated and I enjoy learning from you.

If you have read a lot of threads, I'm sure most of them suggested you do not set things, especially voltages, to 'auto' when overclocking. You mention some of your settings are on auto, then ask if they should be raised - when overclocking and leaving voltages on auto the voltages in question are probably already raised, often way too far. Set them all manually, and only raise them when required. This probably won't get you any higher clocks but may reduce your NB temp for example.

By the look of your CPU vcore, you probably wont get it much higher without getting into the range most people would consider too high for 24/7 use. These boards should allow a good 920 to do 4.4 - 4.5GHz+, most OC's I've seen are CPU or heat limited.

I will openly admit that I have not tried "bumping down" my CPU vcore as of yet. I was hoping to leave it at the current setting, or raise it if need be when trying higher clocks. My temps are "decent" for now so it wasn't a priority. I wont know for sure until I get some good settings/advice from someone on what voltages to "try" for a 4.4-4.6 O/C.

The other thing worth mentioning is my RAM is only spec'd to 1600mhz, so I may have to set it to 13xx while running higher O/C tests and upgrade to a higher spec if I can't get these sticks to go higher.
