Compxpert Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Seems I got it stable at 1.42v..... just touched 70C full load but its really fluctuating between 60-70C... Hmm I still use that age old method of spreading my TIM over the CPU... Though I notice the current guide from Arctic Silver has you putting a strip down the middle.. Its there any particular difference between the two methods? Upped the ram voltage a bit again cus I'm getting mem related BSODs so ram isn't yet stable.

TheConqueror Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Sweet! If I make an i7 build I also wanna reach 4ghz. What cooling are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compxpert Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Not sure on TJ max.... what I am sure of is I need my mem to be stable... I can't seem to get away from 1600mhz freq on ram or 1-8-8-8-24 timings @ ..... 1.7v not good I'm sure but it won't run stable at a lower voltage or on any other setting... Can someone help me to get my mem stable? Cus I'm lost. Sweet! If I make an i7 build I also wanna reach 4ghz. What cooling are you using?

ccokeman Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Thats got to be on water! Looks nice though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Thats got to be on water! Looks nice though! Meh I can't get the mem stable no matter what... I don't know what to do. As it goes unless I can get my mem stable I can't do 4ghz. Ram is capable of what I'm throwing at it yet.... Memtest is throwing errors... Is there something wrong with the memory..? Its capable of 1600mhz at 9-9-9-24 1.5-1.6v so why on earth is this system not stable at 4ghz is beyond me. Hey I just realized something... Since the CPU now features an one die mem controller if the CPU isn't stable wouldn't the mem throw errors because of that?

Compxpert Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Any i7 buffs here... I'm kinda stuck for stability here. It won't work at 4.0 with the ram at 1600 with 1.650v it give errors in memtest and I can't even down clock it cus that causes it to just beep... I hope this ram isn't having issues. Cus it was the Christmas contest ram xD and I'd rather not have to put down on 6 gigs of triple channel now. Settings are as follows Attempted 4.0 Settings QPI Frequency: 4.800GT/s (BCLK*18*2) Non-Turbo Ratio: 20x CPU Base Clock: 200mhz DRAM Freq: BCLK * 08mhz = 1600mhz Uncore Freq: BCLK * 16 = 3200mhz DRAM voltage: 1.650v Vcore: 1.42500v CPU VTT 1.42v I've tried higher VTT and vcore up to 1.45 but no luck. It will post, boot and then soon after i log in boom it does a BSOD or not much long after.

dr_bowtie Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 my guess would be if you're running it at 8-8-8-24 and it's rated for 9-9-9-24 then run it at the 9 timings...even if it's running a lower mhz than rated the 9 series timings may help stability...

I had already tried that but just for kicks I even tried 10-10-10-24 and had no luck there either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 what you might do is post up all you ram timings currently set in the bios...may help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) I only have those timings set all else is auto. Those are all available settings I only have DRAM Command Rate: 1N CAS Latency Time (tCL): 9 RAS# to CAS# Delay (TRCD): 9 RAS# Precharge (tRP): 9 Precharge Delay (tRAS): 24 set all else is default values shown in pic Edited March 10, 2009 by Compxpert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
