overclocking sabertooth x58

[seth1969]

Been trying to follow a guide and the settings in the bios don't match up
to mine in the sabertooth bios.
Tried looking at all the guides on the net and they all seem the same.
Any help would be most welcome.

cheers ant.

Hi, would like 4ghz
spec as follows-
i7 950
sabertooth x58
corsair dominator ram 3x2gb
corsair ax750 psu
noctua dh-d14 cooler
600t case.

That the bit I am not getting, the uncore freq to x16 on my bois its in mhz.

Settings used thx wazza,

ai manual
cpu ratio 21
bclk 191
dram freq ddr3-1531Mhz
uclk freq 3063Mhz
cpu voltage 1.3
qpi/dram core voltage 1.325
dram bus voltage 1.65

prime95 large fft's 30 mins all ok.

max temp 81deg c, core 0

That guide I was reading, was saying to "Testing for highest stable bclock frequency"

I liked the sounds of doing that way but lost the plot with ram timings etc.

I would like to understand it all, I just must be thick lol

It lowers the bclk mutli, but doesn't lower the volts on idle.

Tried 0.0750 offset got a bsod, upped it to 0.1250 just doing prime95 now.

 

[seth1969]

1.296v with prime95, but keeps bsod with blend.

Can get it, stable at 4Ghz but the noctua d-14 does not seem to coping very well with the temps.
80 deg c to 85 at v/core 1.336v. Tried reseating it today with less tim, still no joy.
3.8Ghz is easy, with temps in the low 70's, might stick with that.

Got 4Ghz stable now, but as soon as I put LLC on it just cuts out and restarts the pc, strange.
Wonder if its psu related.
