Umm are you talking to me? I am confused. Not sure what you are arguing about.

Do you disagree that p55 chips need more QPI and memspeed to = X58 setups? Or are you just arguing my terminology? (I think that is it.. since you said its not p55... its p55 chips...)
Just curious

He is saying P55 isnt limited to low mem speeds, its Lynnfield CPUs. I have an i5-750, not a clarkdale, which is why I cant get over 1600.

I knew it wasnt going to be really high, just dissapointed I couldnt get at least get 1800 out of it.

you're right about the p55. but a little correction..

clarks are limited..not lynfield( 7xx or 8xx)

**most of the highspeed ddr3 rams are tested with lynfield cpus...

*** the top scores for the hwbot competiton august 4ghz will be on a lynfield because of the imc...

I thought Clarkdales were better, I must just have a really shitty lynnfield then.

I still have time to take it back to Microcenter and get a 760 for $10 more, think its worth it?

what was your blck? memory subtimings as well?

What bench are you after?

None, its my daily gamer. Ill probably try for a good pcmark05 though.

The 750 I have it really good with low volts for stability, but runs kind of hot and has a shitty mem controller. With x8 mem I cant post too much over 200BCLK, think maybe 202, I forget. Raising volts and timings didnt help. Going down to the x6 multi is fine though.
I cant even get 1600Mhz 7-7-7 instead of 7-8-7, though the ram is more then capable.

i can't say if a new 760 would help...

i'm still wondering what your vtt and pcie is... also what is your mobo?

Gig P55A-UD4P. 200x20 24/7 stable 1.29vcore and vtt. Tried up to 1.35vcore and vtt as well as 105 PCIe for 205x20 x8 mem, and 170x19 with x10 mem multi. All results in no post. Just cycles then comes up with the overclocking failed thing. 205x20 and 195x21 are fully stable with 1.32vcore and 1.31 vtt, default pcie when ram speed is less then 1600Mhz.
