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.

(did post this before, but in the wrong section )

With my old Rampage II Extreme and a I7 920, I had to use the following to get 4ghz stable with 1 chip and slightly lower Vcore with another chip.

BLCK: 200

Multi: 20

CPU Vcore: 1.35v chip 1, then chip 2 would do it with 1.325v

Qpi/Dram: 1.35v


Then my I7 950 would go to 4.2ghz using 1.325v on the same board using a 200 BLCK and 21x multi.





Try bumping your QPI/Dram voltage up to 1.35v and see what happens and then if it's stable, drop it down bit by bit until it becomes unstable and then bump it back up 2 notches, and you could do the same with the cpu vcore.

What cooler are you using?
