[ImAmazing]

3.8ghz - 1.296 load (I hit 4.1 with 1.31 or somewhere along the lines of that)
Multi - 20
Turbo off
HT on
QPI = auto
CPU vtt 1.28
QPI/PLL 1.28
RAM: 2:8
DRAM voltage - 1.64
Timings - 8-8-8-24

I like it to be honest, I had a little trouble here and there, but man this thing is a beast when it come sot OCing...well once you get the hang of it. I'd give it an 8 out of 10, knocked 2 off just because it's frustrating to getting working like I want it to lol.

3.8ghz is pretty good. Is that a 24/7 overclock or is that your max?

For me, CPU VTT voltage corresponds to the uncore/NB voltage and QPI is another voltage for the on chip memory controller (I think). Its sorta moot point for me as I generally keep VTT and QPI voltages pretty close to each other, but still the inconsistent nomenclature is annoying as hell.

I 2nd and 3rd that sentiment. I have had so many problems trying to explain QPI/Dram is not vdimm for Asus users.... I'm thankful DFI tends to keep things simplistically named, if it's not the Intel naming convention then it's a description of what it effects. Thank you Oscar Wu!!!!!

I'm having trouble getting it stable at 3.8ghz with a 200 x 19 ratio and vcore at 1.4 on bios 1.35v qpi 1.66v dram? This is on a Gigabyte EX58 Extreme with the F5 bios...
