EVGA 750i FTW Overclock Thread

[10acjed]

New 3DMark 06 16688

odd thing is that it reads as if Im on a 9x multi and 4.0GHz ..... Man I wish..

Now Im really loving this board.... got my tax money today... TY Prez Bush ...

was just getting the 22" when i happened (LOL) by the vid card counter and saw the PNY on sale for 189$....

So sweet......... Makes not me even care that I cant get stable past 3.4 :-)

sorry about the back to back post, but Im gleaming right now

Is anyone else showing way less than 12V on this board (like 7.30) in OCCT, HW monitor etc? Just curious if mine reading 7.30 now is a PSU problem or a board/software problem. It shows 12v in bios just not the software listed above.

Forgot to add: I measured the voltage going into the Video cards and Mobo and both were showing 12.3 volts so I think I am okay in reality.

BIOS: SZ13

CPU: XEON 3110 @ 9 x 450 FSB = 4.050 GHz
RAM: 2x1GB Corsair Dominator @ 900MHz 5-5-5-15 2T
Voltages
CPU Core: 1.368v cpuid (1.4v bios)
CPU FSB: 1.4v
Mem: 2.1v
SPP: 1.5v


I am still trying to go higher, i'll prolly update with higher clocks later.
Cheers..

See Q6600 @ 3.4 link in my sig... Same thing here... Not to worried about it tho, running 2 8800gt's with 5 fans 3 HD's dvd lights etc... no problems.... may be an improper reading...


My GA 965 - S3 was set at 1.4125v in bios and it read 1.42 in windows, this board set at 1.4825 in bios reports 1.44 - 1.46 in windows.....

Is it ok to run the ram with higher clock than cpu.

I was able to boot with 450mhz fsb and 533mhz with the rams. Would i gain any performance this way ?

i don't think there is any performance gain in running RAM higher than CPU.

The CPU and RAM are constantly communicating, so to me it makes sense to run them at the same rated speed.

Also.. I have read benchmarks that lower timings proved better performance than higher clock speeds on RAM...

I would run 1:1 with the CPU and keep timings as tight as possible.

I just traded my T R U E 120 for a 9700 NT.Because the stupid T R U E was just to wide for me and i refused to mount it horizontially.I couldnt mount the fan clips when it was installed in my CM 690.Anyway i was wondering what kind of temps your seeing with yours? And is yours the LED or NT model?How about lapping?

So is there an actual evga 750i overclocking guide?
