I have built my brother a machine with a GA-X58-USB3 and to save myself the compatibility issues that I had with my X58A-UD3R - I got him to buy a CPU, Mobo, RAM, Heatsink combo pack that the shop would build and run stability tests on over night before I picked them up. They offered an overclock pack and I thought why not and I could always tweak the settings myself later.
I've written them down in the manual of my brother's motherboard manual but I may post them up here to see what people think but some of the settings did look a bit odd based on what I'd learnt about overclocking my i7-930 on my UD3R board.
One of the settings that stood out was that they'd set:
CPU Clock Drive = 700mV
PCI Express Clock Drive = 700mV
You guys here hadn't ever recommended me to change these settings on my overclock, can someone who is more enlightened than me let me know what they do? Should I set them back to their default settings of 800mV and 900mV respectively.
I want to get my brothers OC nice and stable!
THANKS
