Alright. I am back again and need your help. I have installed a H50 aftermarket cooler with push-pull fans setup. I would like to OC my i7 930 to either 3.6 or 3.8 GHz. I have read some guides and browsed other forums, but the question I still am confused is on:
What settings do I need to make the OC compatible with my RAM (PI F3-12800CL7T-6GBPI) that I am using? Running at either 3.6 or 3.8 GHz would probably mean my RAM would have to run somewhere between 1379-1451 MHz (as indicated by my BIOS). Anyhow, here is what I show in my BIOS right now:
Here is what I see from my current BIOS selections:
AI Tweaker section of the BIOS:
Ai Overclock Tuner [Manual]
CPU Ratio Setting [21.0]
Intel(R) SpeedStep(TM) Tech [Disabled]
BCLK Frequency [172]
PCIE Frequency [100]
DRAM Frequency [DDR3-1379MHz]
UCLK Frequency [Auto]
QPI Link Data Rate [Auto]
DRAM Timing Control (haven?t messed with this since they?re on auto)
CPU Voltage [1.15625]
CPU PLL Voltage [Auto]
QPI/DRAM Core Voltage [Auto]
IOH Voltage [Auto]
IOH PCIE Voltage [Auto]
ICH Voltage [Auto]
ICH PCIE Voltage [Auto]
DRAM DATA REF/CTRL Voltage on CHA/CHB/CHC [All are on Auto]
Load-Line Calibration [Enabled]
CPU Differential Amplitude [800mV]
CPU Clock Skew [Auto]
CPU Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
IOH Clock Skew [Auto]
PCIE Spread Spectrum [Disabled]
Advanced section of the BIOS:
C1E Support [Disabled]
CPU TM Function [Disabled]
Everything Else is Default/Enabled (HT is on!)
I also noticed that when the vCore is lowered, say to 1.15vcore, and if I change the "QPI/DRAM Core Voltage" to anything besides [Auto], the stability tests will fail (and my PC will BSOD/reboot) after 5 minutes or so.
Do you anyone know this would be the case? Would it be best if I try to manually set those settings? Does [Auto] indicate that the PC is actually overvolting or overcompensating it, thus I never seem to crash with a low vCore & that setting on auto as opposed to NOT on auto?
Also, what settings should I try for the RAM?
Thank you!
