recommended bios settings Asus P8Z68V-Pro

[jdfox]

Hi, im looking for help to get my bios settings set manually for a stable overclock @4.4ghz as default all ways seems to over do the settings a little. I have only changed so far the cpu voltage to 1.310v multiplier to x44 and load line to extreme. My temps are 24-27.c idol and up to 73.c under full stress using prime95. my computer is in use nearly 24/7 as it is a work and gaming machine so i would like to try get the voltages down a little as i have seen far less volts running 4.4ghz stable. Anyone who has experience with this board and chip i would gladly appreciate any help. The only thing different now with my rig sig is RAM is running at 1833mhz now 1.5v

thanks look forward to hearing your opinions.

Why are you running ram that high?

Just testing what speed is gets to stable without changing volts or timings, dont plan on keeping at that speed. Been playing with settings a little to try get that 1.310v down a little but no one seems to be able to help me really apart from ask why i want to overclock

I have a similar mb and quite frankly used the Asus software to Autotune using the moderate setting. I used 103FSB x 44 multiplier and it passes all diagnostic tests and runs cool. Your prime95 load temp seems high at 73C. Probably your heatsink. I use a Corsair H60 with push/pull fans in the same case as you have. It really shines when running full load. On my ASRock I use the CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ and just got a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO for the 1100Thuban. The CM Hyper 212 Evo with an extra 120mm fan to create a push/pull effect is a great alternative to water cooling at a reasoble price (@$45).
