Reaching higher, what to do next? i7-920 @ 4.5ghz???

I have went as far as I can go on my i7-920 D0 with just BLCK, vcore, multi @21, with HT on and have yet to hit a temp ceiling, as a matter of fact, on 4.410ghz, I have yet to even see 70*C with 1.4vcore on prime running for 3hrs with an ambient of 70*C, but I can't seem to get 4.5 even stable enough to even do a dang 3dmark06 bench and my temps never even see 70*C... Am I asking to much out of this chip or have I reached the clock ceiling of this chip? My temps are still fine.

multi- X21
BLCK- 210
uncore i always keep it at twice the ram speed
ram is at 1.66v (mobo wont let me set it to 1.65)
Both skews 300
HT on
everything else that I can think of is set to auto

What do i start playing with next?

Well, that could just be your max.. What is your IOH voltage set to?

Auto, along with everything else not listed in my original post.

set IOH to 1.4 or something. It might not do it automatically, i needed 1.4 or so IOH to get to 4.5

How do I know if it is done automaticly, I don't see anything in CPUZ that says IOH anything... what program do I need to find out what my board is doing with auto? I am soooo dang close to 4.5 is it rediculous!!!!!

In my sig rig to get 4.5 (bclk 215) i used:

CPU Voltage: 1.475 (1.488 @ load)
Qpi voltage: 1.40625
IOH voltage: 1.20
Ram: forced @ 1723 and 8-8-8-24
BCLK: 215
Multiplier: 21
Bios: Crossflashed 0006 P6T bios on p6t deluxe v2

everything else auto, no skew

Your IOH is on auto, and as far as i know there isnt a way to really tell what voltage the northbridge is getting within the OS for an Asus board. Someone correct me if this is wrong. Just set it manually to 1.3 and work your way up from there to 1.4-1.5 if you want to try those voltages. I didnt need them for 4.5, but i did need ALOT more vcore and a fairly large vtt (qpi). These two voltages will likely be untenable on air, but give them a try


For comparison, to get 4.4 stable (70 passes linX max memory
) I used

vcore: 1.38125
vtt (qpi):1.325
ioh: 1.2

everything else auto, ram at 1680ish

I hope you mean PCI-E freq. 100 instead of 200
