Gigabyte MB, pushing i7 930 past 21x165, stable there anything higher won't boot

[nms499]

Week old computer. First computer I've owned with unlocked BIOS so new to overclocking. Here is my rig and BIOS settings. When I make changes to BIOS past where I am it won't boot. I had it boot once with 21x 175 but wasn't stable. Have tried many, many different settings variations but can't get it to boot with settings past where I have it stable at any ideas?

What Bclk do you want to use and I can advise full setting back to you, if you have good cooling you should have no problems going to 200 Bclk if you want.

Hi,

Im new here so dont give me a hard time yet,

But i have the same board cpu and corsair ddr3 1600 as you do and
i can get 182*22 stable on stock vcore, the only thing i have changed id the FSB or the BCLK as it's called now. I know it's no help to you but the board and cpu combo can do alot more than 165.

edit:

CPU Clock Drive ..............................[800mV]
PCI Express Clock Drive ................... [900mV]

mine are
CPU Clock Drive ..............................[700mV]
PCI Express Clock Drive ................... [700mV]

I dont know what they even do.

What Bclk do you want to use and I can advise full setting back to you, if you have good cooling you should have no problems going to 200 Bclk if you want.

Would you be able to give me the settings for a BCLK for 200*21 please, at the moment the cooling is a Noctua NH-C12p, but in the middle of setting up water cooling.

I dont what most of these settings do.

edit: sorry my motherboard is a "GA-A58A-UD3R"

Thanks for any help you can give.

try CPU Vcore ...............................(1.25000v)may need more
QPI/VTT Voltage 1.150v ............(1.35000v)

slacken ram timing aswell to 8-8-8-24 set all advance memory timings to auto,also try using a 21x200 or 21x cpu multi,set uncore freq to twice your memory multiplier and add one to it,so 8x mem multi would be 17x uncore and so on

if these settings are set to 700/700 you need to load optimized defualts as by defualt they should be set to 800/900
