help for OC stability

Geekazoid · 15 Jul 2009 at 20:01

ok this is starting to get annoying....

my system runs stable as a rock with these settings...

BLCK 200
Vcore 1.3
QPI-VTT 1.33
QPI Link X36 at 7.2ghz
RAM at 6X 1200mhz
Unicore frequency at 13X run at 2.6ghz

however the ram is running blow rated clockspeed when i ramp up the ram..

8X at 1600mhz
and raising the uncore frequency to 3.4ghz
setting the DDR voltage at 1.5v

the system becomes unstable and fails in the second pass in Intel Burn test..

so its deffo the RAM do you recommend that i increase the ram voltage or am i making a mistake with the uncore frequency as i take it uncore should be X2 your ram speed....

thank you for any suggestions....

^^

anyone?

[edit] i moved uncore to 3.2ghz and set the DRAM voltage to auto still is unstable under Intel Burn Test...

ok

my currently set timings are

CAS Latency Time 9
tRCD 9
tRP 9
tRAS 28
and Command Rate (CMD) 2

all others are auto

if i follow your timings what shall I change Command Rate (CMD) into?

Also to add i loverd my Vcore slowly from 1.3000 to 1.2500V and is stable with the above settings (ram downclocked 1200mhz).... Core Voltage in CPU-Z when Intel burn Test is running shows 1.200 and 1.216V (switches between the two). is this normal? can i go lower? is it dangerous for my chip if i lower the Vcore too much?

P.s i have lowerd Vcore without touching anyother voltage or setting...

thanks yup i will set it manually now. do you know what Command Rate should be??? its set on 2 if i change my timeings do i need to touch that?

Has anyone bought this type of sling shot before that holds the amo in the handle? http://www.liangdianup.com/sporting_1.htm
this company has free shipping to anywhere in the world and they guarantee delivery to Australia. I heard that sling shots
are ok to sell in Australia as long as you say they are being used to toss bait in the water when you go fishing, any truth
to thatone?

??????????????? WTF

cheers bud for that i change it tomorrow and see how stable it is as now im littely falling asleep on damn keyboard gonna hit the sack

Geekazoid · 16 Jul 2009 at 22:26

ok...

changed the settings and tested it today solid as a rock so well happy now im gonna see how low Vcore can i get away with.. im at 1.2500 volts stable watch this space...

Geekazoid · 17 Jul 2009 at 01:29

oh man

changed the settings and tested it today solid as a rock so well happy now im gonna see how low Vcore can i get away with.. im at 1.2500 volts stable watch this space...

i spoke too soon... system is unstable as it BSOD me in Intel Burn Test im gonna turn down the DDR clock to 1200 mhz up the cpu voltage to 1.3v and then test again...

Geekazoid · 17 Jul 2009 at 14:45

right i got the ram stable at 8-8-8-24 at 1600mhz timings but i had to crank up voltage to 1.66v when the settings for my memory are 1.65v would this be ok?

my vcore is at 1.3000v i be dropping this in 2 see what happens

boldenc if i put turbo on and a multi of 21X and use 191 BLCK would i need to chance anything els??? e.g. QPI-VVT voltage or QPI Link

Geekazoid · 17 Jul 2009 at 16:45

???? what the

ok this is getting silly i ran my memory at 8-8-8-24 1600mhz with DRAM 1.66v and uncore at 16x unstable in intel burn test (cpu at 1.3v)

so i loosened the timings 9-9-9-28 1600mhz with dram on 1.66v uncore on auto (unstable in intel burntest)

sometimes when running intel burn test the system just restarts no BSOD or lockups just simple restart and i have switched off auto restart in windows so i see BSOD errors but yet the system while testing with Intel burn test simply restarts.....

this is getting weird and annoying any help is welcome
