i7 950 Sabertooth x58 overclocking

[Freak]

Hey,

Getting time to play round with my PC now.
Trying to find the Sabertooth's max bclk. I am stuck at 160.
I have bumped up the qpi/dram voltage to 1.3 Not too sure on the max.

Read a review, QPI/dram to just over 1.2 and IOH to 1.18 and it was getting well higher, 200 I think.

Am I missing something? Any pointers?
Are there other voltages to increase?

When I say stuck, I mean it BSODs. With stop code 124 - points to more QPI/dram v.

Read of black spots. So put it to 170, it didnt post and had to reset/turn it off a couple of times to interrupt the boot sequence.

When you bclk increases,the ram-mhz also increase with it.
Set 200bclk and ram multiplier at 8.Also remember to set uncore to min 3200mhz(2x1600mhz ram)
Qpi/vtt should now work between 1.24v-1.3v.
IOH should work on auto.
Remember to set ram manually at rated settings.1600mhz,9-9-9-24,1.65v.
Now you can set cpu-multiplier at x20.If you have a lucky chip you only need a vcore at 1.25v.But up to 1.35v vcore could be needed if its a bad chip.
Watch your temp,when stability testing.Max temp 70c.
You could start with 3.8ghz oc,200bclk x 19multi at 1.25v vcore.

Edit:And dont forget LLC.

thanks for that.
I had lowered both of the multipliers so i was only testing the bclk.
LLC is was on as well
I was just upping the clock in 10s and increasing the qpi vtt as i went. Ill try straight for 200....
