Hi folks!
I have an i7 930, Asus P6X58D-E motherboard and Corsair XMS3 6GB ram (1600).
I just overclocked it to 3.6ghz using the following settings:
AI Overclock Tweaker: [Manual]
CPU Ratio Setting: [22]
Intel SpeedStep Tech: [Disabled]
Xtreme Phase Full Power Mode: [Enabled]
BCLCK Frequency: [160]
PCIE Frequency: [100]
DRAM Frequency: [DDR3 - 1654 mhz]
UCLCK Frequency: [3307 mhz]
QPI Link Data Rate: [Auto]
CPU Voltage Control: [Manual]
CPU Voltage: [1.15000v]
CPU PLL Voltage: [Auto]
QPI Dram Voltage: [Auto]
DRAM Bus Voltage: [1.64v]
Other voltages (IOH, ICH, Ref etc) all Auto
Load Line Clibration: [Enabled]
CPU Differential Amplitude: [Auto]
CPU Clock Skew: [Auto]
CPU Spread Spectrum: [Disabled]
IOH Clock Skew: [Auto]
PCIE Spread Spectrum: [Disabled]
C1E Support: [Disabled]
Hardware Prefetcher: [Enabled]
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch: [Enabled]
Intel Virtualization Tech: [Disabled]
CPU TM Function [Disabled]
Execute Disable Bit [Disabled]
Intel HT Technology [Enabled]
Active Processor Cores [All]
A20M [Disabled]
Intel Speedstep Tech [Disabled]
Intel C-State Tech [Disabled]
And in DRAM Timing Control, changed first 4 to 8-8-8-24.
Here's what it looks like in CPU-Z after overclock:
And here's the temps:
Although my PC seems to be running stable for now (and temperatures seem fine too), I just wanted to run my settings by you guys for opinions/advice as I'm still new to this. Yeah, I did follow some of the guides available online and I know the rule of thumb is to run Prime95 to check the stability of an overclock. It's just that my city has been experiencing a lot of blackouts recently (power outages) so I can't let Prime95 run for too long till the situation gets a bit more stable.
Anyhow, any comments on whether I should make some tweaks to my changes are welcome. Thanks in advance.
