Here's my latest for 4.310 GHz, still testing and a long way to go but I'm encouraged nonetheless. I should mention, I've since completed my 4th bigadv WU for F@H, and into the 5th, all at my current configuration below...

Well. looks like I belong to the "High voltage club". Been trying for 2 days to get my voltages down with NO luck at all.Guess we will have to see what happens, although my temps are really good in my book.The P.C. really is snappy too. Thought of returning my chip to Microcenter, but may just get the same results.

I found that for my chip, RAISING Cpu Pll to 1.9 let me lower vcore 3 notches to 1.406 in bios (about 1.42 load) for 4.5 HT on.

I've been trying to profess that for 3 months now. But , who am I? Just the 5ghz 24/7 idiot.

Mine won't even POST with 1.9 Cpu Pll setting.

So, you actually lowered yours to 1.65, and it helped? To be honest, i'm not too worried about my voltage settings. But will try lowering it.

Yup here are my 24/7 settings.

Temps mid 70ish @ full load ??

Cool, It's about where I'm at here. Rock solid stable but I don't run it 24/7-

You guys running really low Vtt, have you been paying attention to how it affects GFlops?? I'm using +175 right now, and I can run +150 and still be stable as a rock, but I saw that my GFlops decreased quite a bit. When I went back to +175, GFlops went back up.

Anyone else notice this?

I can run 1.25v - 1.35 and remain stable but the Gflops stay about the same. Now turn off HT and the gflops go thru the roof.

nice job.

Looks awesome Gov!
BTW, pick up CPUZ 1.54 for a much more detailed validation

Gov,
you still on 51?

Edit: See it!

Gov,

Yes and it's been good so far.

This chip seems golden and I might have to put off car mods for another year and buy another, but I'd probably go to Xeons and SR-2 in that case.

 
How high are you going to push it or are you staying at 4.0 Ghz. Which rig did your Intel ssd go in?

Not sure yet, will at least get to 4.2 or a bit more and then go from there. Both SSDs are in this rig.

 

Well sgtharry it looks like you and I both have the same curse. I have tried every template in this thread and non of them have worked for me. The only template that I can get to work for my system is yours... lol. I have always had a problem with voltages even dating back to my i7 920 D0 so I am sure it isnt your chip. I cant boot into Windows with 4.5Ghz unless I am above 1.55 Vcore. If you figure out what is causing this please let me know. I am now down and extra $400 having upgraded to a Dominator GT 2000mhz kit and that didn't solve my problem either.

Not yet just at 1866 for now. Im still messing around with everything so if I come across any good info ill pass it along.
