after doing a little reading on teh interwebz wut voltages ppl were pushing through their NB on their P5Q Pro I decided to have a final attempt at trying to hit 4ghz...
So what I did, - upped the NB voltage to 1.4v (i was running it at 1.3v previously) & upped the FSB till i got to 4.2Ghz & started testing in OCCT, underclocking it by 5mhz each time it failed & playing around with the VTT/FSB Termination Voltage & CPU PLL
I started at around 2pm in the afternoon & I had my final stable overclock around 6-7pm then I spent the rest of the time messing around with my ram, since it was clocked down I tried to tighten up the timings a little.
so heres the result of my days labour.....
Unfortunately i wasnt able to reach full on 4Ghz overclock but I managed to get damn fucking close.
after my Ram past 2 runs of memtest without errors I increased my FSB by 1Mhz to get 4Ghz & went back into OCCT, but unfortunately it wasnt having any of it....
I think my motherboard might suffer from VDROOP/Overvolting im not sure.... but Idle its 1.39v &1.41 when its underload.
so I think its safe to say, I have hit the limit of what my hardware can do unless I decide to up NB voltage to 1.5v - something im definitely not willing to do unless I have better cooling since its sandwiched between 2 hot 4870s.
Ive had enough of this shit anyway. I need some whisky after this not only is my quad stressed - so is my heart.
Let me know what you think - Or dont, i really dont care. but it would be awesome to get some feedback.
yours truely...
Mr. Eclipse.
I you all
.:EDIT:.
forgot to add, default ram timings were 5-5-5-15. I tried it at 4-4-4-12 but it wouldnt post, I maybe able to get timings tighter but thats enough for today i think
