Hey thanks for taking the time to post those. We have the same stepping and revision and I couldn't run those settings if my life depended on it.

Also I have a weird issue, the QPI freq selection in my BIOS only reads 4.0gt/s instead of 4.8gt/s. Any ideas as to why that may be?

That is very odd indeed I have no idea, is this the most recent BIOS?

I got lucky with my chip, not many can hit 4Ghz on that voltage, but the uncore freq and other voltages shouldn't be far off.

Did you set your uncore frequence to double your RAM speed? Try setting it to 200BCLK and uncore multi to 16... If that doesnt work then disable HT and try again...Most boards top out at around the 200-215 BCLK mark...You might have hit a wall there... If you have hit a wall, then the only thing you can do is try to get a bit more out of it by the Eleet utility....Also have you flashed to the latest BIOS?

Latest BIOS has been flashed and I still require 1.42v to get 4.1ghz stable. I'm pretty satisfied with it so far. Uncore is set to 16x, RAM 2:8. using 195x20 multi with turbo.

Set the QPI to 4.8... Disabling HT might help lower the voltages

That's the issue. There's no 4.8 to choose!

Well now I'm confused. Yes it is my bios, but I only see 4.00gt/s.

EDIT: I don't know if there are any official EVGA x58 board threads, but feel free to discuss anything related to the combination you like. Problems, settings etc.
