GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0)

[kastoras]

hello, because im not very good with oc i want some help.
i want to overclock my system from 3.2 ghz to 4 or 4,1 or 4,2 i dont know if the tempature will be ok ;)

my system specs are

gigabyte ud3r x58a rev.2.0
psu akasa 1000w
rams kingston 1600mhz 7-8-7-20
cpu intel 960 rev d0 bloomfield
gpu gigabyte gtx 480
cpu cooler megahalems rev 2

im using the latest bios FH from gigabyte official site(not latest beta)

i hope someone can help me and send me settings to overlock.

Thanks in Advance.

what cpu cooler? if the intel stock cooler 3.2ghz will be the max as temps will be high

[kastoras]

yes thank you, i edit my post and i add my cpu cooler, i have megahalems rev 2

if you set cpu voltage to normal,then look in the bios for cpu voltage and tell me how much is being used,then i can give you some settings to try

if you set cpu voltage to normal,then look in the bios for cpu voltage and tell me how much is being used,then i can give you some settings to try

cpu vcore 1,287 and when i change it from auto to normal it was the same, but in the other panel view where i can see temps of motherboard cpu and all this it says cpu vcore 1,248

heres settings for 4.2ghz with ram speed at 1600mhz,you will need to enter your own ram timings and dram voltage,it will be printed on the side of the ram

for your ram id choose 8-8-8-24-1t timings

[kastoras]

thank you very much when i will try them i will let you know.

thanks for your time.

[kastoras]

Performance Enhance ...................... [Standard] can i set it to extreme for better performance? and i say again i have 7-8-7-20 1600 mhz kingston ram so i will set manualy only the 7-8-7 and 1 ad the last spot.

QPI/VTT Voltage 1.150v ............[1.32v]may need more ( you said maybe need more im not good at this so if you can tell me 100% correct value, i know at overclocks no one can say 100% without test it first but at least give me more chances%:)

DVID VOLTAGE...................[+0.102v] which gets added to your normal cpu voltage and will give you 1.35v total load cpu voltage <---- this means whatever will have it self i will just add + 0.102v ? can you make me a better example.

DRAM Voltage 1.500v ..............[according to your ram,either 1.5v or 1.66v[ <---- if i set it to 1,66 after rebout will say 1648 but its fine i guess. most of the time i was setting it to 1,68 and was like 1,66 but working with both so its ok.

[wazza300]

Performance Enhance ...................... [Standard] standard will be more stable and try 8-8-8-24 timings first just for stability

QPI/VTT Voltage 1.150v ............[1.32v] set to 1.32v
DVID VOLTAGE...................[+0.102v] just set to +0.102v

DRAM Voltage 1.500v ..............[according to your ram,either 1.5v or 1.66v[ yes 1.66v for 1.648v in windows which is correct
