Do my settings look correct (OC on I7 860)

[clarkey01]

Can I just confirm these are ok? temps and testing has been fine I've just been out of the loop for a few years;

BCLK to 160

Set DRAM timings to

9
9
9
24

Dram timing (a few rows down) to 2

Cpu voltage 1.25
IMC volt 1.26
CPU Pll 1.9
Dram 1.6
Load Line calibration enabled

Intel Speedstep enabled
Turbotech enabled


Any recommendations? Im holding at 3.3Ghz . although Windows still reads it at 2.8 Ghz


Cheers guys

I've got an I5 760 with Bclk set to 182, 21x multi with Vcore = 1.225 and vtt=1.2125. You could try dropping about 0.3 volts from both of your voltages.

Although, I see you kept Turbo enabled. Turbo overclocking is usually a little tricky.

I was hoping you would mention turbo futuristicmonkey, as I was fairly certain that having it switched off was the way to go with overclocking, do we concur ?

You stable at 3.8 Ghz futuristicmonkey? - Sorry I'm so out of the loop

Hmmm the turbo option is gone, guessing this is because I set OC to manual? I suspect this means its off ?

Anyone know?

I am kind of curious to this as well.

On my i7 920, the turbo option is still there and enabled. Should it be turned off when overclocking?

 

[clarkey01]

Me and memoryram would like to know

[FONT=&quot]Bump for Turbo question, and if these settings look ok

All voltages on auto except DRAM & CPU vCore:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Starting:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]CPU vCore = 1.3[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]BLCK = 162[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Multiplier = 21[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Should get me 3.4GHZ I’ll adjust down voltages if it is stable.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]DRAM Voltage= 1.65[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Timings = 8-8-8-24[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Frequency = 1600[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]That would make me a happy camper, GPU’s are stable at 940/1290 OC.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]I'm a first time OC'er though so anything people don't like, please yell at me
