G.Skill TridentX 2x8GB on EVGA X58 SLI Classified

[Radu]

Hello!

I have the following configuration:
CPU i7 975 Extreme Edition
Motherboard EVGA X58 SLI Classified (E760)
RAM G.Skill TridentX 16GB (2x8GB), 2133MHz, PC3-17064, CL9, XMP, Dual Channel Kit, F3-2133C9D-16GTX

Can you provide me with some BIOS settings to pull 2000MHz (or somewere near this value) from this memory kit? I tried with XMP but computer dont start and I have to reset BIOS.

Thank you!

Anyone managed to do it with QPI Frequency Selection 6.400 GT/s?

Use manual settings. In addition to basic memory settings, you need to set CPU VTT Voltage. This value will be high for DDR3-2133, and because they are 8GB modules. It will be near the CPUs maximum limits, so a good amount of voltage will be necessary to boost it.

Is this OK?

[Radu]

Well... waiting for your comments.

[GSKILL TECH]

Does the system work with those settings?

Set CPU VCore and QPI PLL to AUTO. CPU Frequency is not overclocked so there's no reason to have CPU VCore so high.
Eventually you will want to manually input timing parameters.

Yes. Its starting and working without crashes until now. But i hope no smoke will come out on intense use.

Make some tweaks and it should work better.

Just told you. I am new in overclocking. Can you be more specific? I thought here are people with experience to guide me with the voltages, to tell me do this, do that over there.

[GSKILL TECH]

I mentioned them in my previous post, but you did not tell me specific results. I need feedback from you to help you since I'm not in front of the computer.

Thank you
