TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

Leaving my DDR voltage setting to Auto, and guess what? It sets the voltage to 1.8v! :eek:

try to avoid that, although I believe fit has ran close to 2.0v already, its still alive!
 
I just switched everything back to AUTO, except QPI/VTT and CPU voltage. And I'm running prime atm, see how it goes...

And what I notice is, It's auto set the DDR voltage to 1.79v

I got the QPI/VTT voltage at 1.3v... and you see, the gap between them is 0.49

Auto sync...? :wtf:

C0's usually memory bank related, right?
 
Damn. You sure it's your board, or could it be the CPU?
 
knowing my luck its both.

cpu will be sent out as soon as i get an RMA#.

I gotta subscribe to this thread.. Getting bored with my set-up...lol

i have OCD and ADHD.

my OCD makes me need to have things matching and i have to repeat processes an even number of times.

i also need to wash my hands and keep everything i own super clean and mint. something you'll notice if you buy things from me.

as for the ADHD.... i cant ever concentrate on one thing for more than a very short period of time. BUT... i can remember a TON of shit that happens in a very short period of time.

one if the best things about ADHD is the fact that i can think about 10000 things at once and actually process thoughts 20x faster than other ppl.

do a search on threads made by me here on TPU. at any given time im managing posts in all of 20 threads. look at my thread on good deals.... i manage to search though 12 forums, 8 retail sites, and a few other places in a matter of minutes when i get asked to look for something.


alot of the shit i post is covered in several threads but its because i combine things at once.

someone in the gtx thread will ask me to do something gtx related but at the same time i'll be running a physx related test for my physx thread along with a i7/x58 problem im trouble shooting and testing some new cooling shit i have for my machine/projects thread.

all this shit plays out in my head perfectly fine and smooth but it looks like a total fucking mess to someone who doesnt see things the same speed as i do.

along with computer shit i also do cell phones, computer repairs, car audio, home theater installs, electronics, take care of a kid, go to college to be an engineer, and 100s of other things i manage all at once.

its a mess but its very clear to me.

yo i completely understand what you are saying and its clear to me, but did one of our posts make you post this or what? I Just want to make sure none of us might have said something un appropiate.
 
Fit's I wasn't trying to be mean or anything to ya. I'm sorry if it sounded like that. I have nothing but respect for anything and everything that you do man! I truly do..
 
nah... it was a good question.

it will help ppl understand how things work for me better.

nothing is ever bad unless you are trying to bash me.
 
this one CP.

thanks, I really didnt even notice he said that in that post

THats crazy I had no idea bro, but like everything, it has its pros and cons.
 
yeah....

major CON....

i get in the car.... drive for an hour....

and i feel lost even though i know exactly where i am. i just dont really remember why i needed to be there.

then i fuck around for a bit
and then remember but its too late or im just too lazy now that i've gone and had some fun.

its very hard to focus on shit after driving. i love driving but damn... it kills me for the rest of the day.
