Cronic very good guide and very helpful. I do have one question though. Im running 3.8ghz (191x20) 16x uncore, qpi freq at 4.8, vcore @ 1.225v with vdroop, dimm @ 1.65 and cpu vtt @ +100. 100% stable linx and prime. my ram is rated for 1600mhz @ 8-8-8-24 and runs at a bit lower (15xx something) should my cpu vtt be lower than +100. bios is king, however bothe bios and eleet show my vtt running at 1.3 which i think is to much. What are your thoughts on this my friend? Also one more minor thought, when do is it required to raise the qpi pll? i left mine at auto (1.1v) seems fine. My goal is to reach 4.0 - 4.2 just for the hell of it though with only one gtx285 theres no reason for anything over 3.6.
Thanks again for the great guide and any helpful info is appreciated

vtt voltage at default is 1.20v. By raising it by +100mV that will yield you 1.3v. Whether or not you need have it at +100mV is dependent on your chips integrated memory controller and your RAM. You can always try lowering it to see if you're still stable. Running it at 1.3v on the vtt is nothing to worry about though. Once you start getting into +300mV area that's where you are running fairly hight voltage for a 24/7 OC and most likely your vreg temps will go through the roof.. Raising qpi pll isn't a requirement. It may or may not help. Once you start to run vcore that's too high for your liking or you've tried other things that haven't worked, you can try to up the qpi pll to see if that helps.

I would like to nominate this thread for a sticky, seeing as how the technically intensive how to OC the i7 is currently a sticky and we get many new users who know nothing about their hardware other than they LIKE IT!

Thanks a bunch guys. So glad I could help. jrmitchell1983
If i raise my qpi pll with this enable me to lower my vcore? or am i just dreaming? (read this on another site)
I have found that once you have all the voltages "just right", you should be able to magically lower the vcore a little more. I used to think i needed 1.3625 for 4ghz, because anything lower than 1.36 would give me the "cpu clock interrupt BSOD (which usually means vcore is too low) After several days of testing and after tweaking all my other voltages down or up, (while leaving the vcore at 1.36) I then gave a small bump in cpu pwm and then tried lowering the vcore once again. This time I was able to pass 50 tests with 1.3375 vcore. Here is what I did.
My QPI PLL was a little higher than it should have been (but still rock solid stable with 1.36vcore). So I was able to lower that from 1.3 to 1.25. Im still sketchy on where exactly its supposed to be lol. Its stable down to 1.2 Also my vdimm was too low. I used to run my ram at 1610mhz 6-6-6-18 @ 1.60 vdimm, and it would pass LinX for 50+ tests and I could game 24/7 without ever crashing... but Prime95blend would error on one of the threads. So I raised the vdimm to 1.63 and blend passed a full round of tests (about 11 hours).. so all in all make sure your vdimm is in sync with your ram speed and timings. I tried multiple settings with IOH PLL and CPU PLL (1.5, 1.575, and 1.65) 1.65 was stable for 4ghz. I always kept them both at the same voltage. I have not tried to lower the IOH PLL yet but it would be the one to try. I am positive I need the CPU PLL at 1.65 for 4ghz but maybe IOH PLL can be 1.5 or lower. I haven't tested this yet. My VTT was also a little high. I was using +50mv and was able to lower to +25mv. After all this tweaking I then raised the CPU PWM to 1210 and tried lower voltages. I opened E-Leet started lowering the vcore. First i ran 3 tests at 1.35, then 3 at 1.34, then 3 at 1.3375 and then 3 at 1.33125. Then i went further into testing and 1.33125 crashed. So I raised to 1.3375 and it passed 20 tests. Then rebooted and saved my settings and lowered CPU PWM to 970 and booted windows and it passed 50 tests with LinX. Then followed it up with more prime95blend and sure enough it passed.

On my 758, auot sets the vtt at 1.20v. You can check what the actual voltage is in BIOS or Eleet though just in case. As for qpi pll lowering vcore; sometimes yes. Try and see. It's not going to hurt anything by giving it a shot.

As my OC sits now, its @3.8 with only the following changes and everything else on AUTO
190x20
vcore 1.225 (with vdroop) 1.2 (withvdroop) seems to lag a bit like im starving it
uncore 16x
qpi freq 4.8GTs
dimm 1.65
vtt +100
nothing else changed. does this sound about right?
CPU 50 degrees with cores at 60 degrees load.

You will notice, overclocking the CPU also overclocks the ram. So, keep an eye on the actual ddr3 speed so you don't go over. If I get a 980x, and up the multiplier, does that automatically up the ram?

No. Mem willincrease in speed if you raise the QPI/bclk but not if you raise or lower the multiplier.

If you pass 100 tests with Linx and fail on prime 95 blend it means your ram settings are off. Make sure your ram isn't overclocked. Try setting trfc a little higher like 79 or 88.

will give it a shot, could have a bad stick mem is at 1530mhz 1.65v 8-8-8-24 which is rate for 1600mhz at those timing and volts...hmmm.

I can always get 100 passes even on 4.2ghz but fail prime95 blend most of the time. maybe i need to loosen timming on my ram. at 4.2 the ram runs at 1610mhz over 10mhz. i run 1.65 still, tried 1.67 same thin. what would you suggest to loosen them to. 9-9-9-?...etc.
I have tested the ram memtest86+ one stick at a time for 4 passes each no issues. At this point i feel my ram is holding me back.

Just for kicks set your RAM voltage to 1.50. My CorsairDominator RAM rated at 1600 and 1.65 but for some reason dropping the RAM voltage was the difference between total failure and 100% success stress testing. Maybe a board or memory quirk I have, but hey, it's worth a try.

will give it a try. what would you guys recommend to drop the timming to if im at 1610mhz on 10mhz over rated. normal timmings are 8-8-8-24-1t? do i need to up the voltage from 1.65 for this 10mhz? with a stock vtt of 1.2 would +100 which brings it to 1.3 be enough for the extra 10mhz?
sorry for all the questions, cant get my overclock stable. vcore seems to be easy enough tofind the stable voltage, just having issues with my ram.

Thanks for this great dummy guide. I came from years of experience from AMD overclocking to this new Intel system Ive just bought in my sig. This small guide helped to get from stock to 4,1ghz in very short time. I aim to reach ~ 4,3ghz and run my memories at closer to its intended 2000mhz. Will continue to test for stability and read up before going any higher.
This definitely deserves a sticky. Thanks alot one more time for your helpful writing.

turns out i need no less than +100vtt and 1.675v for 6gb at 1610mhz to run stable. sitting at 4.2 now, but pushing temps. cpu is 61 and hottest core maxed at 78. need liqid cooling. linx hit 54gflops 100 runs. prime95 stable all three tests 8 hours each. good enough for me.
timmings still at 8-8-8-24-1t, vcore 1.28xx without vdroop (underload 1.35) 1.35 is minimum stable at 4.2 for me. vtt +100, qpi pll vcore 1.3
THANK FOR ALL YOUR HELP GUYS

Got question about Turbo Mode. I got 930 with x21 multiplier and get x22 with Turbo Mode. It's supposed to go x23 on one core during load, right? But I haven't seen that sofar. Its @ x22 during 100% load and never moves. Does it only go x23 at stock speeds? Can I monitor Turbo Mode in action someway and see when it goes x23? I use ELEET or HWiNFO32 to watch multipliers.

Thanks for this post, I am one of these dummies learning to overclock. Just waiting to install a couple Noctua fans on a Corsair H50 push/ pull config., then I'm going to be ready to start to overclock. Thank you again.

GREAT THREAD !!! THANKS !!! I'm just having a hard time getting my head around this concept: Make sure the difference between the CPU VTT and Vdimm is NOT greater than 0.5 volts. So if your VTT is +0mv (this comes out as 1.2v on my Classified) DO NOT set your vdimm to anything higher than 1.65v Use 0.45 volts just to be on the safer side.
VTT @ +0mv = 1.200v on Classified boards and 1.100v on the E758 Board
All my settings are below but my question is where should my VTT be set ? My RAM's at 1.65v and VTT is currently at +150mV... if I drop VTT to 100 say, am I still within the .5 variance ? What would be the lowest VTT and what would the benefit be ?
Sorry to be such a dope about this... M

im also confused about this part ==== Make sure the difference between the CPU VTT and Vdimm is NOT greater than 0.5 volts. So if your VTT is +0mv (this comes out as 1.2v on my Classified) DO NOT set your vdimm to anything higher than 1.65v Use 0.45 volts just to be on the safer side.
VTT @ +0mv = 1.200v on Classified boards and 1.100v on the E758 Board Each mv represents .001 So starting from 1.200 add 99mv you get 1.299, add 100mv and you get 1.300. If your vdimm is 1.73 in bios. Subtract (0.5) from the vdimm (1.73) and that will give you your lowest VTT. Math Formula: (1.73) - (0.5) = 1.230 1.230 comes out to +30mv on my classified board and +130mv on the E758. This means DO NOT set VTT below that number, this will exceed the 0.5 difference and damage your cpu. I recommend staying a good distance away from the 0.5 difference. ===== this is the setup im going to use and was wondering if im in the safezone or not. still really confused Mother Board ( EVGA X58 SLI E-758 ) CPU ( i7 920 D0 ) CPU Cooler ( Corsair H50 ) Memory ( 3x2GB Corsair Dominator 1600Mhz 8-8-8-24 ) PSU ( Thermaltake toughpower 750w ) GPU ( EVGA 8800gt ) Drivers ( 196.86 ) Operating System ( Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit ) Frequency Control CPU Multiplier ( 21X ) CPU Host Frequency (Mhz) ( 201 ) MCH Strap ( Auto ) CPU Uncore Frequency (Mhz) ( 16x ) CPU Clock Skew ( 0 ps ) Spread Spectrum ( Disabled ) PCIE Frequency (Mhz) ( 100 )

I have a issue that you said in regaurds to the linx test. my gflops which stays at 51 goes down in the .xxx's so i need more vcore. in bios im at 1.25 under load its 1.237 with vdroop. tried 1.238 in bios and loads at 1.27 without vcore,but linx only gets 46gflops then. why is this. should i just raise the vcore to 1.268 / 1.275 with vdroop?
please let me know your thoughts and if i need any changes in my template.
