Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

I always have my power states enabled, even those that are disabled by default.
You can disable them while you are experimenting.

oops, 200x19, and 1600...........bios didn't like .............got the black box on reboot and reverted me back to default 1333

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Try static vcore forst, a bit more than you had normal+dvid for 175x21 and perhaps LLC(LoadLine Calibration) enabled.
Try also 181x21 with same memory multi as for 175 but timings as for 1600.

In Guide: Lynnfield Overclocking on Asus P7P55D Deluxe Mainboard - X-bit labs they use x22 CPU ration, this abit annoying why this board don't let use it.

oops, windows has to do a startup repair.......having issues.....

i think i am goin back to yesterday's settings.....may have done too many things at once there...........haha......

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

alright, back to yesterday's settings now, windows running fine

*current overclock settings =

175 x21=3.67ghz, ht on, turbo off, qpi ratio =32, cpu vcore = normal, dvid = +.04375, vtt= 1.27, dram=1.66v, memory 175x8=1400, 7-7-7-21



now, where do u want me to go..............don't understand the "static vcore" thing, isn't normal + the current dvid the same thing as static vcore ?

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, 200x19=3800.......200x8=1600, 8-8-8-24.......(can't remember if i left vcore setting at normal+dvid, or changed to static 1.2, i think the former).........

into windows now, running prime95 to start testing.....temps are great, upper 40's-low50's, cpu-z reports core voltage at 1.2, as does easy tune

ok, i guess, linx, ibt, etc next.......

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

you should be able to clock to 4.2ghz with dvid,some have issues but i never did,never went higher than that though

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Yeah Dvid has worked up to 4.6+ for me with no issues. Depending on clock dvid may need +1 or -1 more then static vcore but thats about it.

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, having problems testing at 3.8........am tinkering, to get it stable there..............thanks............tinkering with voltages now, back to dvid i think, static vcore 1.2, 1.25 may have been the issue, IDK......btw, how do u like ur eggs......lol...........ok , 0124 blue screen on bootup, gonna raise vtt

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, trying normal w/ dvid+.056 and vtt to 1.31 now.......formally .043 and 1.27

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, windows booted, but, another 0124 bsod while running IBT........keep raising the vtt? whats the safe max on vtt?.......

[Acebmxer]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

Should be safe up to 1.4+ I believe. P67/z68 are limited to 1.2

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

ok, raised dvid to +.062 and vtt to 1.35, windows booted..........lets text now

[lotsip]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

i was wrong, bios didn't like those dvid/vtt changes, kicked me back to default...............gonna try easy tune now to get to 3.8

[Darkje]

Re: Time for me to upgrade ??

mine took 1.425 vcore, and 1.30vtt to get to 4.2ghz, had it there for a good 15months without any issue. I had a clarkdale on it, but lynfield will be the same I guess...
