I think I may have some DUD OCZ 1600 Memory or a bad cpu, or it could be just the fact that I know crap about all these voltages and bios settings.
I do know I cant get my memory to run but on the lowest divider @ 573mhz to get to 4ghz on the cpu. My QPI/VTT seems like it needs to be high also 1.42v any lower and all frezzes. I doesn't mater if I raise the Vcore or the PLL I can't lower the QPI/VTT.

Here is my voltages
Vcore 1.275
QPI/VTT 1.420
PLL 1.800
Dram 1.64

Mem 2:6
7-7-7-16
Didn't make a difference if I loosed timings or raised voltages any time trying to run 1500+Mhz system was unstable.

I'm running a Megahalem and temps never go above 63c

Any Tips/Tricks would be appreciated.
rise up the v-core!

enable the load line calibration

set v-qpi at 1.34

ensure if the uncore frequency is at double of ram speed.


reset the bios and change only:


blck 200mhz
cpu multiplier x20
uncore 3200mhz
ram 1600 8 8 8 24 2t



load line calibration enabled

v-core 1.3v (after try lower)
v-qpi 1.34v
v-dimm 1.64v
