Hello All,
This may be something that most of you find as not a problem but I am new to the OC arena and I really could use some help / advice.
I upgraded my Striker II Extreme & Q9450 setup with a Rampage II Extreme & i7 965. I already had Corsair Dominator ddr3 2000 4GB but I went ahead and ordered the Kingston HyperX ddr3 2000 3 x 2GB kit anyway. Sure enough the bad luck hit and 1 out of the 3 sticks of memory was bad and the MB had issues of its own. So now that I RMA?d the equipment, I went ahead and ordered an EVGA x58 Classified MB (while waiting for the other 2 items to come back) and it is now in its new home.
Here is my issue, I am not big with the whole OC thing and my computer is more for graphics and 3d (I know that I didn?t need this gear for those reasons but I want to have the ability to bump things up if I wanted to and I do play my games at times as well). What I want to know is for my current setup, what are the best BIOS settings that I can use so that I get the most out of my equipment without the risks of BSOD or lockups. I do not care if I use the specs that are the closest to stock (advertised) specs but I do not want to go over by too much.
Here is what I have:
EVGA x58 Classified MB
Intel i7 965 processor
EVGA GTX260 SSC video card
ABS Tagan BZ800 power supply
Corsair Dominator DDR3-2000 (PC3-16000 TW3X4G2000C9DF) 2 x 2GB memory
VelociRaptor 300GB main and Raptor 150GB second (I do not want to run RAID just yet)
CoolerMaster Cosmos S tower
So far I have made the only 2 adjustments to the BIOS and that was to make the DDR settings at 9-9-9-24 2T and the CPU @ BCLK 133 and 24 multiplier. What I need now is to adjust everything else including voltages to get the most out of the CPU and memory without it BSOD me to death or lockup on the stock fan. I will be getting a newer CPU cooler soon but don?t have it yet. Also when I get the other memory back I will be putting that in place of the Corsair but I would like to know the best setups for both types of memory (the dual channel that I run now and then the tri channel when I get it back). I have tried to research this out but most settings I find are for people with a 920 and OC?ing out. I really would like to know this stuff and even as far as the settings for SpeedStep, Virtualization, ect. go.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
JJ
