Help top 4ghz pls

hi
yes i have a bundle and i have a green and yellow light on mine too :) guess thats normal ....i think if it was red then i would worry ...is it something to do with the cpu voltage ?
 
Thanks m8 yeah thats about 6 people now so should be fine. Think im happy now at 4.0Ghz 200x20 with mem at rated speed 1600mhz 2 hours prime,6 hours gaming, 4 surfing and video encoding thats stable enough for me. was amazed at the amount of vcore i had to add to get 200x20 rather then 191x20 with turbo on. Time to enojoy it and wait for 32nm :p
 
yes im running 200x20 turbo off ...runs prime fine , but does have issues on intel burn , will pass standard test ( had to up cpu voltage to 1.306v or something like that ), but soon as you up the stress level it fails ...god knows why ,it uses more ram on higher stress levels so wonder if the ram causing the issue (timing or something )...plays my games perfect , no crashing etc so probably nowt to worry about !! lol

What voltage are you running 4Ghz at?

Is there an advantage to running 20x200 over 20x191 with turbo?

1.280v in windows. when i was running at 191 BLCK i could run 3 notches of vcore lower for the same 4.0Ghz, my temps went down 1c with more vcore but ill put that down to the room temp maybe. My benift was my ram runs at 1600mhz as was just slighly lower using 191 + turbo
 
At work at the mo m8 but im pretty sure if you set 1.3 vcore in the bios and go up 2 notches on the UD5 is what im on now. I seen other people running 8-7-8-24-2T but only just got them to 1600mhz so not played yet. Also this board only lets you set 1.64 or 1.66 for ram nice one gigabyte when 1.65 is the norm:(
 
I've had mine running at 8-8-8-24-1T and seems fine, but voltage is at 1.35 I "think". Seems solid as a rock though, just reaches scary temps of the 90's under IBT! :(

:eek: 1.35, i thought they default to 1.5 in the bios. Might try 8-8-8-22 1T @1.64 when i get from work....dam tweaking....need to get a AMD 550 to play with me thinks and stop messing with my main rig lol:):D

oh lol - was referring to vcore, not ram. Ram is set at 1.64v.

I noticed a few review sites had the patriot stuff at 7-7-7-20-1T @ 1600Mhz but that just fails badly :o
 
The 'normal' multi on a 920 is 20x, but Intel added Turbo mode to give a boost - which basically means the multi ups to 21x when Turbo mode is active. I have set my board to run at 21x constantly as it seems pointless to run below that, I am not too fussed about the power savings as I just use my laptop for everyday office stuff.

Dam you si.....been 4.0 stable for 2 weeks now....must not...turn the turbo on...max temps hardly brake the 70c...aghhhh:p

lol! I know what you mean Al, I have been slowly upping my BCLK and doing some benchies etc and it's been stable so far to just under 4.2GHz, haven't gone any further yet due to the hot weather... and have backed it off to 4.1ghz for 24/7 usage. In some weird way I'm almost looking forward to the winter when ambient temps should allow for bigger better OC's! ;)
 
First off, the Two LED's you are seeing are for voltage and temperature. I'm assuming the temp is green and voltage is amber being that it's overclocked.

There are also LED's just under the NB heatsink for the same purpose.

There are two Turbo modes on the UD5. There's the standard Intel Turbo which increases the CPU Multi when under load (ensure C1E is also enabled under CPU features) and performance mode: Turbo. This is as best I can make out, to do with memory subtimings which tighten or slacken depending on your chosen performance mode.
