:facepalm: I Need Help Ocing On This Board

[Compxpert]

Ok I obviously have no idea what I'm doing.. as I seem to be encountering a lot of resistance from this system... I can't seem to even get 4.0ghz to be fully stable at even a resasonable voltage and I know this chip can do 4.3 at a reasonable voltage because queens had it at such... So perhaps I need somone to help me find where to start Ocing on this board cus I know it has a lot of potiental but I seem to be having trouble unlocking it... Is it possible my psu is not allowing me stability at reasonable voltages? I have a few extra PSU's here how could I use them to prove or disprove this? So to anyone who uses these DFI boards where do I start?

well you could tweak some stuff like I did. Especially the GTL REF's, fsb voltage, etc

Yeah but how do you play with the GTL REF's and how much fsb voltage should u use.

show us some BIOS shots from the ram and voltages if possible

1.34 or less is safe for the fsb voltages

Got it down to 1.45v now for 4.0... Hopefully I can get it down to 1.37 for 4.0 somehow.. If I can figure that out I should then be able to move on to higher clocks.

As an Update I now have some bios pics up:

 

Main OC'in screen:

 

Voltages:

 

I haven't even touched ram timings and their correct anyway so no need to post those.

Well its 4.0 stable now... I think I might be able to take it higher from there probably with same vcore I hope. How exactly does one figure out what GTL ref should be at a certain clock speed... I had thought I had seen a table chart on clunks forums for GTL ref but I haven't seen it since.

I'll help you more with the GTL REFS when I get home later tonight, but from looking at your BIOS settings I think you should up the VTT voltage and NB voltage. Not too much.
