FWIW my mate who I am buying the system off showed me for a fact that the CPU can reach 3.8ghz - hell he has had it at 4ghz.
My system is as follows:
CPU: Intel 1156 i7-860 (currently running at 3.5ghz : bclk@166 and multi@21)
CPU Cooler: ThermalTake Water 2.0 Pro
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD5 with bios version F13b
Memory: Kingston HyperXBlu 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24 DDR3 Memory
Video: GTX 560Ti 1gb Video Card
PSU: Antec Earthwatts 650w PSU
I don't know if it's the memory that isn't liking the multiplier or the IMC not liking it???
I have tried setting the BCLK to 200 and the multi to 19 and it doesn't POST for 2 boot attempts, and then on the third attempt it does, but at the initial boot screen the CPU shows as only running at 2.53Ghz, and I also get a warning screen, so I press delete and go into the M.I.T Tweak settings and the multi and bclk are still where I left them at 20 and 200.
Thing is, at the moment I am running it at the 3.5Ghz setting with HT enabled (yes I have tried disabling HT when trying for 3.8Ghz but it didn't do anything), and my ram is running at 1333. I am beginning to think that my ram is probably 1333 and not 1600 rated, cos my system is really stable when running at 3.5Ghz with the ram at 1333...
I have thought about changing voltages and everything but atm they're all auto and I have switched off C.I.A.2, C1E, C3-C6, Turbo-Mode, EIST, XMP.
Also enabled BCLK and my QPI is on 32x. Mem multi at the moment is either 6 or 8 to make it run at 1333.
If you need anymore info let me know, and I will get it.
