TPU's Core i7 Overclocking and Feedback

[kid41212003]

Vcore 1.4v in bios, with cpu-z it should be around ~1.38v
All other settings stay the same as my previous post.
Check this link for beta bios:

Make sure you backup your old bios, and NEVER update your bios in Windows.

Anyone who has some tips for a pump that won't start? Though I think it might be dead, but I want to make sure first.

My board should be similar to yours.

Try these:
Load default optimized setting in bios
Set:
baseclock 190x20 (3.8GHz, turbo disabled)
uncore x16
memory 2:6
qpi/vtt 1.3v
vcore 1.35v (LLC enabled)
memory 1.65v

This should work with your setup.

if memory multiplier is 6 then uncore should be x12 right?

12x or higher, I found out my board/chip doesn't like uncore 12x to begin with

 

[kid41212003]

Memory:Uncore = 1:2 or higher
Uncore:QPI=8:9, stay in this ratio for stability.

At 200 baseclock, memory x6, uncore x16 = 3200MHz, QPI = 3600MHz

checked the connections? sometimes the pins might be out a bit on the connector and not make full contact.

Ok these are my settings:

QPI Link speed: x36
Uncore frequency : x16
Isochronous support "Disabled
BLCK 200
Intel (r) turbo boost : disabled
CPU enhanced HALT (CIE) : disabled
C3/C6/C7 support : disabled
CPU thermal monitor : disabled
CPU eist function: disabled
bi-directional prochot : disabled
System memory multiplier 6.0
DRAM timing : Auto
Load-line calibration : enabled
CPU Vcore 1.4
QPI/Vtt voltage : 1.335V

It doesn't run very stable... windows boots but when I open CPU-z it takes very long time to open it.

Should I raise v.core? And should i update bios to UD5 F5? Also could you tell me what's the best way to update BIOS?

 

[Thrackan]

That does sound like undervoltage.

 

[kid41212003]

The way I update my bios is:

Create a small FAT32 partition, download the bios, and unzip or unrair into that FAT32 parition.

Restart the computer, press END to enter bios update ulitity, follow the on-screen instruction to update your bios.

You can try to raise the vcore to see if it's more stable, because I only tested for 2 hours with prime under that setting, my temp was high, because of my crappy waterblock.

Thank you.

I updated my BIOS to F5.

I couldn't reach 4Ghz stable..
I followed your instructions 1.4v core and 1.31 for QPI/Vtt .
It boot but opening cpu-z and other programs went very slow.
So I raised the v.core 1.4XX till 1.425 and that didn't help at all... then I raised the QPI/Vtt voltage... till 1.35 but that didn't help aswell.. Should I raise it till 1.4v?

Then I started with 3,6Ghz again ..
Settings:

QPI x36
Uncore x16
Memory multiplier 6
Memory was running at 540 Mhz 6:2 7-7-7-20
1.2375 v.core and QPI/Vtt on auto
It was prime95 maximum heat stable for over an hour but then I got BSOD. Temps never went over 65-70 celcius degrees .

When stressing I was using the computer for internet and msn / downloading call of duty 4 is that allowed or should I stress Prime95 only without other programs running?

 

[Fitseries3]

hows this for an ordeal.......

newegg shipped my ram DHL

who drove it 5miles to the UPS store

UPS flew it to KC

and handed it to USPS

and USPS delivered it today

7 days later

 

[Fitseries3]

here we go...

 

[dark2099]

Gorgeous man.

 

[PaulieG]

Is 10 minutes prime95 stable good enough to find a hoger clock? I'm now @ 3Ghz with v.core 1.23750 and QPI/VTT 1.17500v it's prime95 stable for 10 minutes now...

Use OCCT or Linpack. They both will find errors in 30 minutes that often takes an hour or more in prime95.

here we go...

Hey fit, where did you find those mounting plates? They don't look like the ones I got from Dtek.

 

[Binge]

He made them.

 

[Fitseries3]

you like?

 

[PaulieG]

you like?

Yes, I'd actually like to get a hold of one to compare it to the official Dtek version.

 

[dark2099]

Toying around with the DFI and CPU on stock. Haven't done any stability testing, but I know I haven't found it yet since getting into windows has been tricky. Monday I plan on setting up my loop again so that should give me a chance to get some better CPU OC's. I didn't really do any other benches since the gains weren't that great IMO, just had the shot of wPrime with tighter timings.

 

[Binge]

Contact me any time on MSN dark. The DFI can be tuned a number of different ways.

 

[Fitseries3]

heres an attempt at a low score, as you can see i failed...

 

[Fitseries3]

odd that 2x ram would lower my score...

 

[Fitseries3]

i cant seem to get them to run in tripple channel. i think thats why my score dropped...

 

[Famous Hobo]

weird. hopefully it isnt the board.

 

[Thrackan]

Yay, so my test loop ran leakfree for almost a day!
Now to draining it and getting it ready for mounting in the case

Nice.


I've ran OCCT for an hour

Can I call my computer ''stable'' now?

blck = 180
QPI = x36
Uncore x16
EIST on
Memory multiplier 6
CPU vcore 1.24
VTT = Auto
