Put Dram at lowest possible and UCLK 2x DRAM, set QPI Link to Auto and get your CPU stable before you start tuning your memory.
Then try 4,2 with 1,35 Vcore![]()

hey guys, has anyone of you used a EK-FC Triple Serial Bridge for 2 video cards in slot 1 and 3 , I ordered the Dual Bridge but its not fitting(it would fit for slot 1 and 2) but I want to use 16x PCIe lanes....so will the triple Bridge work for 2 cards or I need 3 cards?

kullymontana i bet its your QPI/DRAM Core Voltage, 200bclk and mems at 1000 is tough on IMC, it might need a tat more volts.
Seems with these 920 chips your either lucky with one which likes a high bclk or you have one which hits a wall at 200 max unless you volt the hell out of it.
mine seems to be one of those thirsty for volts
I can run a 215 with high qpi volts and qpi slow mode with a multi of 21. but its not prime stable. Still working on some voltages I'm gettin further each time.
I've tried running a 222 and 230 no go!

Another chip tested from the same batch... I posted the batch number as well on here..
This one is not as good as my favorites but still awesome! Probably sell this one.. It will run all benchmarks at 6200mhz pretty easily.. no cb once again at -170 / -180c

That was using 0704 bios... batch number: 3006A442
very similar to my set up there Kortas,

I have the i965EE and need to know what you guys would say would be the MAX amount of vcore for a 24/7 overclock (trying to reach a stable 4.4GHz) I am close to going on water in a few weeks, but for now I am stuck with air (Noctua NH-D14) which is not a problem. The problem I seem to have is ICH core (NB) reaching 60C ... I haven't noticed it going any higher, but I still think that is high IMO.
I have taken kortas' BIOS settings (from his post # 929) and started playing from there. I have tried 21 multi with 210 BCLK but I got random BSODs when running W95. I tried upping the CPU voltage a bit but I am afraid to go over 1.44v without water cooling. So I went back down on the BCLK to 205 and that's where I am at until I know it's okay to go higher on the CPU voltage for a while. Anything I am missing?
Kully we pretty much have the same specs. You can try these settings if you like - here
Hey AKHandyman, I wouldn't put that chip over 1.44V at all if I could help it.
60 isnt so bad for the ICH on air, mine was reaching 100 on air and resulted in reboots, needless to say I attached my full cover wb a little earlier than I anticipated, now running much nicer temps, even under load.
Under the stock heat sink you will be presented with the worst thermal compound you will have ever seem, slightly resembles crusty mustard but harder.
when running a near stable 4.44 I'm having to use a high QPI/Dram core volt.
but my cpu core volt remains at 1.42 highest.
I'm going to try it again tonight with different voltages, will let you know the outcome.

I know.. Me either! It's crazy! It was running through 06 and vantage at -170c to -180c with no problems or freezes.. There is one out of the batch that cold bugs around -150c but so far that's the only one..
Thanks so much! I love these cpu's so far! Going to run more tests after a little work today. cheers!
Karlitos, I don't think you'll be able to get the triple-bridge to work.
At best, you'd have to put a 3rd "dummy" link into the middle position and run some tubing between the two ports and I think you'll probably run into space issues trying to do that.
But, if you decide to give it a try, let us know how it goes. I like those SLI Bridges and if you can get it working, it would be prettier than other connections.
A triple EK bridge works the same as the dual for two cards. All you need is a blank serial link to connect the center two holes.
