Any tips for a Asus Sabretooth tuf?

Phunky Phish · 22 Jan 2011 at 22:16

I am helping a frield o/c his i7 950 on a Asus Sabretooth X58 tuf.
Not being a i7 user I am not familier with the new bios and settings to safely and slowly oc these boards.
Any tips on what I need to look at and what I should be changing?
Many thanks and stay Phunky

Just put the qpi to 1.3v
20x multi
200blck
=4.0ghz

Vcore at 1.3v then work your way up or down from there.
If you need above 1.3v for your vcore for 4.0ghz maby bump the nb voltage abit

At Antipesto. That did not boot. What nb voltage is STD?

Which is ram voltage?
Qdi/dram core or dram bus. His needs to be 1.5v

Ah, my attempt failed as did not keep the ram speed low enough. Hit 4ghz 1.3v but not stable in prime.
Think ram timings are to tight as set to 8-8-8-20 when should be 9-9-9-24!
Wife kicked me off for now so back to STD settings for him!!
