Hey all first time post here. I just put together my new system, and started with the overclock, and was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions , this is my build.
Also, I have the update for my BIOS which allows a x21 Multiplier.
Presently, This is what I have running stable right now.
CPU = 3.717 BCLK = 177 x 21 (Turbo Off) RAM = 1416 Uncore = 2832 QPI = 6388
CPU Voltage = 1.32 CPU PLL = 1.84 QPI = 1.30 DRAM = 1.64
Using Prime95, Ran 3 Cycles for about 1-2 hours each time. Idle Temp = 38C Max Load = 73C (max)
I have tried to get 180 Base clock but it fails in prime. When using 180, I upped my voltages for CPU and QPI up to 1.35, even my PLL up to 1.88 and DRAM up to 1.66 and every variation of these numbers and nothing would hold stable more then a few minutes, I would always get BSOD with 0x000000124 Error.
The only time it would run stable is if I tuned down my RAM from like 1400ish to lowest setting of like 1083 of something. I'm still not sure if I'm missing something or maybe it just does not want to run at 180.
I know its not a big deal, as running at Base 177 with the above is still nice and completely stable. I would still like to get that 180 Base Clock. Again, It runs stable on everything at 180 except when I have my RAM set to 1400ish.
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have a question though, does the bios update only allow p6t6 revolution to go to x21 multi? or do other asus mobos also get the same treatment with bios updates? didnt notice anything about it on release notes on asus's website, not that thats conclusive.
