Got my suicide run up to 5.508GHz @1.64
SuperPi 1M @ 6.860s
I know I'll see some sparkle and smoke coming up from my comp soon since I'm on air lol.
But this is as close to the breaking point I think....
Took me while to get x55 working.
Found out a couple of interesting stuff.
"PLL Overvoltage" seems to be frequency dependent.
(been talking about this at overclock.net)
Many says it needs to be on after 4.6~4.7 range.
But that is not true.
I personally don't need it till 5.2GHz. Also some people reported that you only need it on certain frequencies.
Means you might need it at 4.8 but not needed at 5.0.
It acts different on each systems.
Very strange but that's how it works.
Also turning "Spread Spectrum" on makes the load voltage a bit lower.
Gives you a bit more vdroop. and as we know, it sets your bclk to 99.8.
Some how I needed this to be ON at 5.4 above or windows won't boot even pumping more vcore.
And surprising thing is that I get 2 to 4 GFlops better LinX score than I set it OFF (bclk at 100).
At 5.0GHz or more, AsRock board really likes default (auto) value of CPU PLL voltage @ 1.832.
Other MB, some people can turn it down to 1.709 without any problems but not mine.
