System based upon
i7 920 @ 2.66 Stock
P6t Deluxe V2
12GB 1600Mhz RAM @ 7-7-7-20
ATI 4890 1GB
I have an enquiry. Currently I am running stock 2.66 with the ram set to 1600mhz and timings of 7-7-7-20, which are the default settings for my 12Gb of RAM. I have order a noctura cooler, and plan to fit it in around 10 days and spend some time experimenting with oc values.
Base Clock (BCLK).....133.33............................160
MemoryMultiplier............12.............................10
DRAM Freq. MHz.........DDR3-1600..................DDR3-1600
Uncore Multiplier............24.............................20
UCLK Freq. MHz...........3200..........................3200
QPI Multiplier................24(48).......................22 (44)
QPI Freq. MHz..............6400..........................7040
The two setting which currently interest me. On my P6T deluxe v2 board, my current settings would read as per the first line. All voltages and other settings bar memory timings and speed have been set to auto.
It would appear that I've actually stressed my system considerably regarding the frequencies of the uncore and QPI at this stage.
Would moving directly to a BCLK of 160 be madness to leave voltages at auto? Uncore frequency looks like it wouldn't change although the multipler would actually drop, QPI multipler drops also, but frequency increases. I assume the strain comes from the frequency directly rather than the multiplers actual value?
I am rambling now, as I typed this more coherently, but then the forum board lost it when i clicked submit. Just wondering if switching from 133 to 160 how much extra strain this would be likely to place upon the cpu? Would it be better to set a different BLCK, such as 180, and take the hit regards the RAM performance?
