OC'ing
OK,
I read some stuff about the modern i7 boards and whew! Have to read it 10 more times. So, right now I know my limitation is my ram, 1333MHz.
If I bios, 21x multiplier, 8:6 dram ratio, bclk 166, QPI 44x, with i7 920.
I get a incrediably stable cpu@3.5MHz, QPI@7.4MHz, 1333MHz ram, auto volts and auto load line calibration selected. CPU at 41C
If I bios, 18x multiplier, 6:4 dram ratio, bclk 222, QPI 36x, with the i7 920.
I get a cpu@3.99MHz, QPI@7.99MHz, 1333MHz ram, auto volts and auto load line calibration selected, that will not boot. Message said volts to high blah, blah, blah.
The goal was to keep the ram at 1333MHz and of course bump the cpu.
So in laymans terms please, and I realize I'll probably have to upgrade ram,
How come she won't fly, goosed this way?
TY
ps: educate me please
