Re: P55A - UD4 - Ram + overclock question
Thanks for the BIOS profiles tip, it's a bit faster to test new ideas now!
I've found an absolutely top notch basic 4 gig oc that I'll share for anyone looking for one that has my gear, and I intend to use it 24/7 for standard computing + games due to it's complete reliability
core - 20x
Qpi - 32x
Bclk - 200
mem multi - 6.0
memory enhancement 'extreme'
( no idea what this actually does but it scores a few more points on max-mem and does not seem to effect stability at all, so might as well. )
timings on 'quick'
5
6
5
16
volts:
LLC - on!!! - highly recommend this my pc is almost unusable over-clocked without it, don't know how other i5 set-ups are, but I think mine may be a bit of a power hog!
Vcore - 1.350
Qpi - 1.27
Pch - 1.120
Ram V - 1.660
Ram T - 0.830
been running this for a while now with no issues at all, completely stable in Benches, burntest, heaven, stone giant
And games - Dirt 2 - Batman AA - Crysis, with not so much as a stutter anywhere so I think it's safe to say it's perfectly stable
my impression of this motherboard so far is that it's top notch, apart from that little corrupted bios problem ( which was probably my fault anyway )
it kicks the 'floating bananas' out of my old Asus one in every way!
