My First 4ghz Overclock (980x)

yeah let me know where they handing them out at I need one as well lol I have to sell parts to buy more lol Hayley the fun is seeing what ya can get out of it and then backing down to a decent 24/7 oc. My 2600K did almost 5.3GHz but for 24/7 I have it at 4.5GHz

Ah ok cool, will have another play with it tomorrow, for 4ghz is a good 24/7 clock.....

Also is there a way to disable the CPU Fan header on the Rampage 3 Extreme, as I have my fans on 12v or connected to fan controller, everytime I reboot I have to a CPU Fan Error! and have to press F1 which is a bit annoying...... Must be an option for it somewhere, but I can't find

Sorted IT!!

Thanks for your help guys

Huh??

In the bios do I need to change any of the voltages, as I never touched them? They set to them automatically.... Just something that has dawned on me:)

Something else I have learned today, I thought Prime95 Maxed CPU & RAM out, but it obviously doesn't...... its tests abit of everything huh?

the best stress test we all have worked out is "folding"

I would love to go back to folding..... but my electric bill got manic....

I also think my Motherboard is playing up, have trouble with USB's connecting - disconnecting, Plug USB's on front of case into the "One" USB header on motherboard, but only 1 USB works, all I get from the other one is, unknown usb device..... Driving me nuts..... I know this isn't the right thread for it, am just venting...... don't really wanna have to buy a new Motherboard

When your system fails on one thread in prime, your CPU usage will go down because when a thread fails it will turn of the load on the core that failed thus giving you a bellow 100% CPU usage. Which means your system is not stable.. In my experience it usually has something to do with the memory controller, i would try increasing the IMC voltage a little because you have a 200 BLOCK means your IMC (Integrated memory controller) will run at higher speeds to. And if I where you i would enable load line calibration and try lowering your core voltage and see how low you can go

I think it has to do with your PCH voltage..

"The PCH voltage feeds the p55 chipset on the motherboard, which is responsible for talking with all of the peripherals on your computer, such as USB devices, hard drives, and any add-on cards–except for the video cards–which now talk directly to the PCI-Express controller integrated into the CPU."

At the moment CPU is 100% Ram is 2.83gbs

The USB probs were happening when PC was running completely at Stock......
 
I'm note 100% sure because i have only played with a 1156 socket... but they are not so different so I think it should be 1.05V
 
I have just seen my CPU usage drop while running Prime95, and found one of the workers has stopped due to Fatal ERROR! See Below:-

I'm guessing this means the OC is unstable?

Yes m8 and as I wrote earlier I think its your IMC voltage. Try bumping up the voltage two steps

Edit: In your case the QPI/DRAM voltage (NOT!!! DRAM Bus Voltage!!!)
 
I would go for around 1.25V and run prime and see
smile.gif
There are reports that as long as the difference between QPI and DRAM is less than .5v then you are okay. In your case 1.65(DRAM)-1.26(QPI)=0.39 so your ok

Can you explain how you got them figures, just so I understand it abit more???

I have put the QPI/DRAM 1.25v, I also put Load Line Calibration on "Full Calibration" and set CPU Voltage to 1.28v
