I did the following setting:

162x26 - 4212Mhz
162Mhz - bus speed
2916Mhz - qpi link
7-7-7-19-60-1T - memory
648Mhz - dram freq
3240Mhz - nb freq
1.360v - vcore
1.660v - dram voltage
everything else set on auto

Did prime 95 small ffts for 3 minutes and crashed with BSD error code STOP 0X00000101 and message display is "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval".

I had the same message with same error code since I had the gulftown i7 980x. Surely a faulty cpu chip ?

I did try stock speed with everything on auto and ran prime 95 small ffts and crashed with BSD with same code and same message. There is nothing wrong with motherboard. I suspect it a faulty cpu chip ?:mad:

If I sent the cpu chip to ocuk and test it and I am sure they will get the same code and error message! I don't know why it kept doing this. Never had that before on my old i7 920D0 chip. Not a happy guy at the moment.

Ok.. firstly... massive multi!!
What are the exact system specs mate? Happy to help :)

Did you say you've tried running prime with everything set to stock/auto'd?

If you can provide the full specs as well that would be great mate.

I did tried running prime with everything set to stock speed as a default with intel i7980x @ 3.33Ghz and everything is untouched at auto and end up BSD with 0X00000101

(it shouldn't be like that) as I had try take off 6gb ocz 1800mhz ram off and try 6gb corsair 1333mhz ram on slot 2, 4, 6 and still getting same BSD with same code! (so, it wasn't either ocz or corsair memory issues then)

Really fed up with it.
 
Bulldog this is your second thread about your 980x, why do you require two threads?

You have had more than enough advice now, you need to be more patient with your chip!

The stock speed is end up BSD - it shouldn't be like this! The stock speed suppose to be 100% stable while leave everything on Auto setting as a default 3.33Ghz and why it kept end up 0x00000101. It nothing to do with all setting etc. It to do with the BSD issues since day 1 when I put the chip in. :(
 
there is nothing wrong with your cpu

clock interrupt bsod is more often than not voltage related.

again, my advice stands the same as your last thread. read up on your chip and the way it works in UD5/UD7/UD9

this will give you a better understanding of how to clock it.

you had bsods since day one because you were running before you could walk.

clear your cmos.
set up stock settings with memory at rated speed.

run memtest for a few passes and make 100% certain your memory is stable.

then look at the cpu

Email me in my trust and I can see what I can do.
 
Right..

Try running the reaper at 8-8-8-24 1.65v 1600mhz.

Run 200x21 to obtain your desired 4.2ghz. Apply app 1.375 V at the upper limit for this OC.

Run your PCI-e clock at 101-103 mhz (play with it)

Look to ensure a PLL of 1.84-1.88v
IMC can run nicely at app 1.325-1.35v here

If you have the facility to run your cpu at a different amp then look to run this at + 800mv

I would personally hope for this to run stable. The only likely issue I can see would be the cooling of the unit. These chips run HOT. As such I would expect to see temps in the 80s as the cooling (although as good as the best air coolers out there) may struggle a little.


Give this a go and drop in your results so that they may if needed be worked with.

1) did clear cmos
2) did try both memory rams (memtest passed) overnight
3) reseat cpu again
4) load default as intel stock speed @ 3.33ghz (all on default setting without I touch it)
5) ran prime95 small ffts (crashed within 11 mins error 0X00000101)
6) ran linx 20x passed with no BSD

ok thanks andy, I give it a try. But what is IMC ? What about qpi/vtt setting ?
 
The main issue here is it doesn't even work at stock. If it were me, I'd be looking at your motherboard + bios version and any known issues of instability with this chip. I'd also do the same for the memory and perhaps have a mess about with different memory profiles.
 
I already said in his other thread to check to make sure he had the latest revision of bios as they will include updates for the micro code of his chip..
 
right andrew moore - i did the same setting as you said :
200x21
pci-e at 101
dram at 1.660v
memory timing at 8-8-8-24-1t
vcore 1.375v
pll at 1.84v
qpi vtt at 1.33v
clock drive and pci clock drive at 800mv
Unicore freq at 3200mhz
the rest is set on auto

so far look at my setting here: part 1:

part 2 for memory setting:

running prime95 in small ffts! Going to leave it running for 24 hours !

Have you still got your old 920 to see if that bsods the same way on this bios version?

Never had any BSD not even once with my old i7 920D0 (sadly this chip had sold yesterday to my ex work mate) he told me today he did overclock 4.5Ghz on his custom water with my chip and agree with me, a great cherry chip! he is very happy.
