never been able to get my 950 overclocked, but then...

been trying for weeks to overclock always failing, enanbling llc, adjusting pci mv, clock skew, qpi pll, all this all that. never had any of it.

so a few days ago, i goes into bios after a clear cmos. i just do one thing - change vcore to 1.26750 set my multi to 21 get it to 3.8.

ran like a champ since. had it on full load for hours on end, even batman arkham asylum runs brill. been running brill for days now. and all i had to do was change vcore :S nothing else. is this alright ? from a techie point of view, once i start messing with other settings its just knackers up and bsods.

also are these temps okay for 3.8 ?

Is that under full load temp? How long have you tested it for in Prime95?

garyfl · 12 Oct 2010 at 22:41

ive intel burn tested it on very high selected all 8 threads, goes upto 75.c on core 0

garyfl · 12 Oct 2010 at 23:06

prime is around 69-71.c

is it normal for it to creep to 81.c ?

if not what could i do to improve the temps ?

cheers.

So what settings were you trying when you were failing? Now, are all your voltages on auto (except vcore of course)?

garyfl · 12 Oct 2010 at 23:42

yeah i think everythings on auto. only thing changed voltage wise is vcore to around the setting i mentioned.

before i was setting vcore to 1.3 same with qpi pll

llc to level 1

dram to 1.65

cpu (skew) ? to 800mv

pci mv to 102

things like this.

i find the GB boards to be spot on when you use auto , the only thing i have done on my ud5 is the cpu and ram voltage , in fact i lowered cpu pll to 1.4 and it seemed to help overclocking .

im currently running 180mhz x 23 at 1.34v on crappy ram until my proper stuff comes back from RMA

temps too high for 0% load

your 950 should be hitting 4ghz easy on a h50 at better temps

the ud7 WILL clock that chip
