So...I recently finalized all the parts for my system (well, the psu is a future upgrade, but it's what I've got for now). It's all put together, and passes prime95 tests like a champ. I can get it to run at 4.2GHz with HT on at 1.27 vcore, with everything else set to auto. Auto sets everything else except for cpu pll to the lowest possible voltage. Here's the settings in my BIOS for 4.2GHz:
21x200
CPU uncore frequency (mhz) (3205 MHz (16x))
CPU clock skew: 0ps
memory settings: 8-8-8-24, with tRFC:74
cpu vcore:1.25625v
cpu vtt:+150mv
cpu pll vcore:1.8v
dimm voltage: 1.65v
dimm dq vref: +0mv
qpi pll vcore: 1.1v
ioh vcore: 1.1v
ioh/ich i/0 voltage: 1.5v
ich vcore: 1.05v
pwm frequency: 1067KHz
All of these voltages, with exception to cpu vcore, are auto. They pass a prime95 8+ hour test. I've got turbo mode and HT on. My idle temps are around 20C, and my load temps were around 42C on prime95 for my 4.2 Ghz OC.
K, so here's my dilemma: I want to try for a 5GHz OC, but to get a feel for the settings, I tried a 4.5Ghz OC, and no matter how much vcore I put, I cannot even get a stable boot into windows 7. I'm definitely new to OCing, but I know I have a rig that can handle the heat, as I've got a feser 480 rad dedicated to cooling my i7, and a black ice gtx 240 rad cooling my mobo/gpu-both rads being on separate loops. I fear it may be the timings on my memory, or something to do with my memory, and I have no experience doing a serious OC on memory. Perhaps I'm wrong though...any help would be greatly appreciated!!
