Hi,
I was hoping to receive some advice or a starting point for BIOS setting to achieve a 1600MHz frequency with my memory. I tried posting here some time ago and got some valuable help. Unfortunately, having a bad stick of RAM didn't really help the process
. The bad RAM has been replaced and I'd like to take another crack at hitting the rated speeds.
Here are my specs:
Intel i7 920
Gigabyte EX58-UD4P Mobo - BIOS F13
12gb of F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ RAM
XFX GTX-260 896mb Black Edition GPU
Windows Vista x64
I am not overclocking at the moment, but recently read that OC'ing / raising the BCLK is required on the 920 in order to hit rated speeds above 1066. As such, I'm ok with doing a mild OC if necessary.
My initial thoughts would be settings that may look like the following:
CPU Clock Ratio = x20
BCLK = 160
Uncore Freq. = x20
QPI Link Speed = x36
Performance Enhance = Turbo
Memory Mulitiplier = x10
XMP Profile = Profile1 (which gives the timings below)
DRAM Timing Selectable = Auto
--------------------------
CAS Latency - 9
tRCD - 9
tRP - 9
tRAS - 24
Command Rate - 2
-------------------------
As for voltages, I'm not sure where to begin. Would they perhaps look something like this?
CPU VCore = 1.3V
QPI/VTT Voltage = 1.24V
CPU PLL = 1.8V
IOH = Auto
ICH = Auto
DRAM Voltage - 1.56V
Am I on the right track? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
