OK first time today overclocking a CPU... I managed to get it to 3GHz with these settings:
BCLK: 150MHz
CPU Ratio Setting: 20
PCIE Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: 1503
UCLK Frequency: 3007
CPU Voltage: 1.3v
DRAM Bus Voltage: 1.64v
Everything else is left at auto. Problem is, thats how far I could go before my comp started freezing upon login. I went up to CPU voltage 3.2v with a 21 CPU multiplier and it still froze but from that point I got scarred and backed it down.
My question is, how do people get higher than 3GHz on stock cooling? Is there any technique I can utilise while changing voltages... like for reference (for example checking to see if temps are below x)? What is QPI/DRAM voltage & CPU PLL voltage? I didnt mess with those settings as I have no clue what they should be. Is temperature the only limitation to how high you can overclock?
Also a quick question for anyone who knows... do the old universal EK Supreme waterblocks work with 1366 socket?
Thanks.
