Finally got my rig to be prime95/linx stable @ 3.8, currently have the vcore set at 1.2 in bios (reads 1.184 in cpuz), and the qpi/vdram set @ 1.375.

First question is that is it advisable to run the qpi/vdram @ 1.375 if I'm unable to get it to run stable @ 1.35(the intel spec iirc)?.

Second, I'm getting 3.8ghz via 181 x 21 (with turbo), should I leave that in as it is, or just turn it off and push 21 multiplier across the board? it's kinda annoying that i'm running the bclk at just 181 since it runs the memory below rated speed, but I just could not get the system to run stable at 200 :/

Well, got it down to 1.35 for the qpi/vtt voltage, running 181x21, and is 20hrs prime95 stable so far.... temp holding at around 60c w/ prime, so I guess this would be a success?

I don't think the lower memory speed/timing really matters in real life performance does it?
