Re: UD3P and Q9550 Overclock Problems
Yes and No. I loaded the optimized defaults and then reentered the "changes" manually. I think I have over-thought this whole EP45-UD3P/Q9550 E0 overclocking adventure. I went back today and set the Static tRead Values (Channel A and B) to "Auto". I then changed all the voltages to "Normal". The only settings that I have overridden are the DRAM Timing Control = 5-5-5-15 and the DRAM Voltage to 2.02V, Vcore = 1.36250V (Probably too high?), CPU Termination = 1.34V and MCH Core= 1.34V. I set the CPU Host Frequency to 463 and the System Memory Multiplier to 2.40B (926 MHz) and let OCCT 3.1 run for an hour with no errors. I currently have upped the "FSB" to 470 and the system seems OK but I really haven't put it under load yet. So... it seems I may be on the right track? It looks like the CPU Termination and MCH Core voltages are the key players to get to 3.8GHz and all the rest of the voltage stuff was just getting in the way. Comments please.
