Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

Thanks Warren,

I got it stable at 3.8ghz. Good enough for me. temps are somewhat high but acceptable at the tasks that I usually run them.

I appreciate the help

you have a D0 chip? see if you can run on 1.18750 cpu voltage for 3.8ghz

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

Hey guys new here. Been trying to OC my ud4p with my 920 C0 for a long time and I don't have the stability I have been looking for.

Any thoughts here guys? I am getting the Bluescreen 124 error from time to time under load meaning QPI voltage issues? How does my memory timing look?

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

Yeap, 124 BSOD is QPI/Vtt, often too low.

Try these and see how you get along.

Note my mention of Fail Safe, you are using that so it's probably part of your issues.

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and I turn to you can not maintain stable pq oc my pc I hope you can help me with this dilemma
this is my pc
core i7 920 C0 + hyper 212 plus + Ga x-58 UD4P bios f13 + 6GB corsair dominator 1600MHz + Gtx470 + windows 7 64 bit

I arrived earlier attempt to 4GH in the pc but can not be maintained even in windows q without crashing or resets me
Now in 3.8 I have achieved at least run the test at least brun intel high and not hang me but the temp are normal unloaded d fear is between 48 and 51c full but is close to 93C and a say in setting ne to the maximum the intel burn test 99c easy
well this is what I did in the bios

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

If you are seeing temps of 93C at 3.8Ghz already you are pushing to far for your cooling as is, you'll need a better cooler if you want to go to 4Ghz or even get 3.8 stable.

93C is hot

[k@non]

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

I thought I had a good cooler for what I read in some reviews that came easily to 3.8GHz
last night to try to make it run at 3.6GHz but it came just touching 90c maybe I'm not doing something wrong because when I put in 3.6 stop drive voltages
Those who believe you can get the cooler I have?

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

Did those reviews use the same CPU and voltages you are using?

I've never used that cooler, but I do know it's not one of the larger/better coolers when it comes to these CPU's.

[wazza300]

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

What CPU/qpi voltages are you using for 3.8ghz?

[k@non]

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

Did those reviews use the same CPU and voltages you are using?

I've never used that cooler, but I do know it's not one of the larger/better coolers when it comes to these CPU's.

If you've used almost all the reviews that use the c to 3.8 and 4.0
I'm just using this cooler with a fan only if it is not best used with 2 as I read about 5 degrees low temp

What CPU/qpi voltages are you using for 3.8ghz?

I used to
CPU Vcore....1.37500v
QPI/VTT........1.34v


and now, only the vcore at the same voltage to drive the rest of the reports except under temp boot me

[wazza300]

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

Is that CPU voltage a fixed amount? Or set to normal or auto? I would try setting cpu voltage to normal in voltage list or try 1.2-1.25v for 3.8ghz

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

that amount is what got me so:
at first hung the pc or the pc was reset and the latest was the famous 101 and 124 errors so I put those amounts voltage
Now I recommend these amounts seem to me very little and I already try and hang or reset my pc
But now I'll try to see what I get

I try and not work I could not even get into windows because I hung the pc is more came a point that could not enter bios but successful solution to continue the OC

[Lsdmeasap]

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

Those aren't high voltages at all, it just shows you need a better cooler is all, or you do not have it fully installed (Loose or too much paste)

[wazza300]

Re: Overclocking the Gigabyte X58 UD4P

I just though you might be able to lower voltages and temps a little,you want a top quality cooler like the. Prolimatech megahalems or the true 120,and two fans in push/pull,I use two fans on my cooler,you want to use top quality thermal paste like mx and tx 2 or 3,it will all help to lower CPU temps
