You really want to be working in one area at once, there is some info about getting RAM above 1600MHz on a UD3R at Tweaktown Forums but for now you just need it at atleast stock but preferably lower.
4GHz i7 920 D0, but only on 19x
- Thread starter paradisiac
- Start date
Rkj is probably right.
That notwithstanding, looking at the bios settings, it was vcore, not qpi which struck me as low. 200x20 is less stable / needs more vcore for a lot of people. There's more to it than that though, I think someone told me x20 was fine as long as uclock multi was odd though I can't remember which thread that was. I also think dropping bsck down to 190 or so, raising multiplier to 21, stability testing then creeping bsck upwards again is the best approach.
My gigabyte gets stroppy over 215bsck, so I don't think you're going to get much higher on x19.

so does that mean my mobo is probably limited to 3.8-4GHz?

everthing else is as at default / auto
max temp 78. is there any way i can make my cpu fan run faster sooner or perminantly on my mobo to keep the temps down as noise isnt an issue?
will try and lower my vcore to see if i can get temps down.

well i lowered vcore and it BSOD, now when i go back to those settings it says NTLDR is missing, put it bacl to 19 x 211 and it loads fine 
are these settings ok, will running a lower multiplier do any harm?

max temp is 78c is fine and why put: CPU clockdrive 800Mv ?
CPU cliock skew 100ps ?
change it to 700Mv and 0ps
CPU cliock skew 100ps ?
change it to 700Mv and 0ps

i am
+1
like i said, i am going by someone with the same setups settings.
last time i did any overclocking was when you only really needed to change vcore and fsb, and you never really went too much higher.

Didn't solve any stability issues which more vcore wouldn't have, and may have introduced problems.
i dont want to go over 1.3 vcore if i can help it though, but could this be the problem?
I was setting mine at 21 x 181 for 3.86GHZ, vcore 1.27500 and qpi on auto with ram volt or 1.66 I did prime 95 for 4 hrs no errors no reports and max temp on full load was 69 degrees..
Last night I got a little freaked out as I have this horrible feeling that my system may blow up with the voltages lol .. I never overclocked before this was my first attempt.. but thought to myself "is thee really any need for overclocking for what I use the pc for (photoshop, lightroom, movies etc..) I am not a gamer by any means..
However the thought of having it run at 4.0GHZ just makes you want to have it.. so would you guys reccomend I set up again tonigt? This time at 21 x 191 , turbo enabled , vcore 1.30000 (or shall it be lower) timings for my ram is 9 9 9 24 so I will set them too what should my uncore and qpi multiplier be also what should my ram volt and my qpi and ioh voltage be . pleaase guide
Thanks ..
PS: when I was hitting 3.8 GHZ there were 4 little blue lights constantly light up when pc running on the top right of the mother board which I think indicate the level of overclocking .. is this safe? how many blue light should it be max? and there was a small green light which was on by the ram when I put the ram voltage to 1.66?

what mobo do you have? is your i7 the D0 or C0? what cooler are you using?
I have the intel i7 920 D0, Giga Ex58 UD5, corsair 6GB Ram 1600MHZ and I have the Corsair h50-1 cpu coller along with 3 x Noctua 120mm running at full speed..
