This kit does well on the UD7, this time was just testing bclk without slowmode with the new bios.

Nice clocks man!

Can you push the uncore any higher, that would help things.

And hey, for Bclk, the key voltage is not Vcore it's QPI/Vtt voltage!

So no need to push crazy vcore just to get there, just use more QPI/Vtt (1.45-1.57 should get you plenty of Bclk), and of course PCIE Freq 106-115 can help at lot too.

Thanks!

Got the vcore down and uncore higher. Im trying to get the hang of this, normally I run Linx to test max stable oc. Benching 32m is fairly new to me, but Im starting to like it. I was able to get uncore to run 4600, score was better than my previous 4.8ghz run

Nice results man!

What cooling are you using?

You did notice I mentioned Vcore before, only because you blanked it out for that high Bclk attempt right? I just meant if you want to push for a super high Bclk the Vcore isn't the main voltage you need to push, it's QPI/Vtt.

See here, 250 Bclk with low Vcore to show you what I mean

Yes, Vcore can help but it's not always needed, and for sure does not always have to be a huge amount unless you've already tried 1.6+ QPI/Vtt

Nice bclk!!

I am using water cooling, but I push AC through the rad for benching, it drops temps by 25c.

I havent figured out a good balance between vcore and vtt for high bclk. I have already tried 1.6vtt and way beyond. I guess its a matter of getting the right combination because to much vtt and it fails to boot. I was using a ton of vcore in that screen, thats why it was blocked out.
