    Re: Bios and Ram Settings help X58-UD3R (Rev 2.0), i7-950, G.Skill 1600 DDR3

    Pasted below are my current BIOS setting that I am running with, please let me know what you guys think. There are a few things that I am unsure of however, the Load-line Calibration seems to have two other options, a profile 1 & 2. I am also not entirely sure I am running with the best voltage either.

    I am trying to find a convienent way to post my test results and things but I have them in a spreadsheet with a lot of screen shots, so when I have more time I will post them as well.

    On another note, do you guys believe that if I free up some more space of my SSD it will run much faster? I have all of my programs files in addition to my OS there and I am starting to think that I may not need them all there but just some.

    Anyway, thanks again for the help so far you guys are awesome.

      looks ok to me,have you tried lowering cpu voltage further? llc should be ok on auto imo,its advised to leave some free space for your ssd for maintenence ect

        OK, I will try that and get back to you. I really have not messed with it at all, just followed the guide and let it go.

        As far as the SSD goes, I maybe just worrying about nothing but my windows performance score are slighlty lower and my AS SSD score have decrease as well but at a much greater margin.

          OK, so I lowered by CPU voltage by two steps, I believe it is 0.00675 per step so that would be a decrease of 0.01250 from 1.37500V to 1.36250V and restarted, but then I got to the logon page the cursor in the password box stopped blinking and sort of froze even though my mouse was still moving although not able to click on anything.

          I restarted back into BIOS and then moved it one step back up, so I am just one step below 1.37500V and I made it back to this thread. I am going to run a few stress test and see how I make out then report back, thanks for the help.

            are you using fixed cpu voltage now? or using dvid? its upto you if you want cpu to run at full speed and cpu voltage all the time or use dvid and only use full speed/voltage when cpu is under any load,light loading and at idle cpu will downclock on speed and volatges

            if you want to use dvid you need to post your cpu voltage when set to normal in cpu voltage list and you current fully stable cpu/overclock voltage,then i can tell you what to type into dvid

              To be honest I am not sure so I am going to guess that I have it fixed, could you give me some direction on how to find this out?

              its upto you if you want cpu to run at full speed and cpu voltage all the time or use dvid and only use full speed/voltage when cpu is under any load,light loading and at idle cpu will downclock on speed and volatges
              I am assuming that the only difference here is power efficiency? if there is something else involved then I would like to know to better understand the situation and make an educated decision. Also I am open to what you might recommend, as I am new to overclocking.

              Thanks again for your assistance

                it will tell you,in cpu voltage do you type in or select a fixed amount? when you select normal in the cpu voltage list,what amount in voltage next to it does it show? and what voltage are you currently using for your stable overclock?

                dvid will allow cpu to downclock when light loading or idle,and use full power if and when needed automatically,it saves heat and power when idle,does nothing for load temps but helps idle temps alot

                  OK, So I have been seeing a few BSODs lately so I am actually considering starting the OC process over again and just testing more often and more vigorously along the way.

                  My current voltage settings are:
                  LLC on Auto
                  CPU Vcore [1.375v] after a few recent increases after BSODs
                  CPI/Vtt at [1.295v]
                  DRAM Voltage at [1.640v]

                  all other voltages are set to auto or its default setting.

                    if rams rated at 1.65v then i would set to 1.66v,ive been running 3yrs nearly at that dram voltage and ram is fine,also try with more qpi/vtt voltage,it might not need extra cpu voltage,dont be scared to use between 1.35-1.38v qpi/vtt,depends on your cpu,i have one that uses alot and one that uses less

                      After reading your last reply I changed my;
                      CPU Vcore from 1.37500 to 1.36350,
                      DRAM Voltage from 1.64 to 1.66,
                      QPI/Vtt from 1.2950 to 1.3350

                      Then I ran Intel Burn Test on Standard for 5 tests and reached a temp of 71C,
                      ran another Intel Burn test on high for 5 tests and reached 74C,
                      then was running 8 threads of prime95 for about an hour on "In Place Large FFT" and then got a BSOD
                      After the BSOD, I changed my QPI/Vtt to 1.3550 and that is where I stand at the moment, going to start some testing
