Nicckko Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) Hello people, I am posting this to share my experiences overclocking my Core i7 920 on the Asus Rampage Gene II. Quite sure it might be helpful for some people. Think it is important to recall that im not a pro overclocker, but I'm quite sure my setup is working pretty well. On this post you will find a few images with my BIOS setup, 3.8 GHZ and 4.0 GHZ overlclocks. To cool my CPU I'm using the Corsair H50, which so far I'm loving it in dual fan push/pull configuration exhausting air from my case (opposite as Corsair suggests, I tested both configurations and this one produced the best results so far). My current setup is the following: Motherboard: Asus Rampage Gene II MicroAtx Processor: Core i7 920 Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H50 (Mounted in exhaust configuration, with push and pull fans) Memory: DDR3 Gamer Series Tri Channel for Core Edited January 12, 2010 by Nicckko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Are you prime stable with these settings?

Nicckko Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Are you prime stable with these settings? Ill run prime95 the whole night and see what happens, but the true is that I had never crashed in prime after running LinX with 25k problem size. Usually I run 6 hours of small FFT's, 6 hours in place large FFT's and 12 hours of blend. Correct me if I am wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJR Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Looks pretty good, not a big fan of the H50 but I won't go there. By disabling the cpu LLC should take care of the voltage increase if that's what you want to do. The only thing I would have done differently would have been the PSU, your coolmax 700 has a total of 42 Amps on the 12v rails, a corsair 650W (at $20 less w/mir) has 52 Amps. Other than that it looks good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicckko Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) By disabling the cpu LLC should take care of the voltage increase if that's what you want to do. Thx for advice, I have LLC enabled under load CPU and QPI Voltages never go higher than 1.28, I think its safe margin. What do you think ? I have also been playing with VTT/QPI Voltage, I can lower my CPU Voltage if I increase QPI/VTT Voltage ... Should they be the same ?? is there any suggestion between their relationship ??
