P6X58D & i7-980x @ 4.3 GHz - Need help pushing further

[00011011]

Its not letting me break the 4.5GHz barrier....

========== THIS IS WORKING ==========
BCLK: 144
CPU Ratio: 31 (4462 MHz)
DRAM Freq: 2020 MHz
UCLK Freq: 3032 MHz
CPU Volt: 1.375
QPI/DRAM Volt: 1.40

========== THIS IS NOT ==========
CPU Ratio: 32 (4608 MHz)

I guess I'll fiddle with the settings (lower BCLK, raise CPU ratio, etc...) to try and come in closer to 4501 MHz...

You got a screen shot with Prime-load, temp, and CPUz-tabs? It would be much easier to see what's going on.

It wasn't stable all of a sudden at above mentioned settings. Not sure why, so I had to take my original CPU Volt from 1.375 and:

increased --> 1.38125. Still BSD on me...
increased --> 1.38750. Still BSD on me...
increased --> 1.39375. Finally... stayed stable

not sure why it became so irritable all of a sudden. Temps are up a bit obviously because of the new voltage...

Well, that 1.384v is not too bad for 4.46HGz, and probably that's what your CPU/batch# can do.
The temp is OK, too. Just try to keep the VVT in check, otherwise if it can run a couple of hours Prime, + some memtest, then it looks good and you should be happy with that extra 1.6GHz you got.

Would you quit with 38 MHz to go?
