First off system specs:
Cpu: intel core i7-970
Ram: ddr2200 pc3-17600 GS model number (F3-17600cL7q-8gbpis)
Mobo: Gigabyte x58a-ud5 rev2.0
Gpu: Pny geforce gtx580
Psu: Ocz 1000w z series
Hdd: Western Digital velociraptor 600gb sata 3.0
The problem: I cannot get my rig stable when i turn these sticks up to their rated 2200mhz at rated timings and rated voltage. prime95 returns rounding errors. It is NOT the cpu as i have tested it and its fine. Im sure that its the settings in the bios because when i run these sticks at mobo bios stock(auto) the errors disapear.
Bios settings:
Voltage settings.
>ddr V :: 1.66 Actual reported by aida64 : 1.648
>cpu vcore :: 1.23 max as reported by aida64 i left this at auto in bios, and the bios has it at 1.28.
>QPI/Vtt :: 1.30 / 1.32 (These were the best voltages for the least errors)
Speed changes:
>BCLK :: 138
>cpu clock :: 24x (turbo boost sets it to 25x)
>(FSB : DDR)(SPD) :: 1:16 (16 x 138 = 2208 actual ddr MHZ)
Timing changes :: I set them to 7-10-10-28-1T(CMD)
Ok those were the only things i changed. I mentioned the cpu Vcore because i read that it can be set from .8 to 1.375 but my reported cpu Vcore was 1.23 i didnt know if this could be the problem as perhaps its a bit low.
QUESTIONS:
1. Is it true that with the i7-970 the max voltage i can set my ddr to is 1.65 or i will fry the cpu?
2. Is it true also that the max QPI is 1.35 or again i will fry my cpu?
Plesae help me get my rig stable! Im currently runing at 1333mhz! I want 2208+ mhz!
