I sit at work right now thinking over what I have tried and it is truly astonishing as to the level at which i have gone to achieve stability with little success.

I can run 20x 200 with HT without turbo.... if i enable turbo it will not pass testing or will bsod on boot.

i can run turbo at 191x19 and get a lil over 4.0 ghz...

to run 200x20 i need vcore at 1.36 vtt/qpi at 1.412 just to run stable

can only run ram at 1600 mhz, and uncore at 3200 any higher and she has a fit.

if i set the ram at the default 2000 mhz even at looser timings it wont boot.

as soon as i get home i will post bios template... just trying to get ideas here



same issue with 2 cpu's btw so that tells me that its probably me making the error.

BIOS settings will help for sure, you raising PCI-E as you rais Bclock?

I ran mine at 110MHz with my W3540, which was good up to 5.3GHz

ive ran mine up to 103... tahts another issue is if i go above 103.... to 104 or 105 it wont post

Going to have to keep my eye on this thread, will update with my success/fail on the x58 platinum I got. Chipset runs REAL hot. First time I have needed a fan on a chipset cooler in YEARS.

neuro the msi boards have horrible TIM applications.... it is like thermal epoxy for hardness. get that off of there and re tim, and you should be much better...


as for the issues, im hoping to test some tonight

Are you running on Air or the Phase ?

You most likely need a bit more vcore.

water.... i dont have an air cooler....


i will definitely push the voltages tonight... i know taht the QPI/VTT voltage is kinda strange at 1.45-1.475 will cause the computer to just restart...

but I will try more vcore... i was just expecting a D0 to not need a buncha volts for 200x20 and 1.36 seems high to me... am i wrong?

I have used 2 MSI boards, Eclipse and the lower end Pro, same exact settings work on both the boards till 5148Mhz, so if you do need any help in settings give a holler........

These are the settings that worked on Eclipse and Pro-E.

This is mostly for air overclocking which took 920 to almost 4900Mhz.

When using DICE I had to play with only CPU Vcore and IOH Volts(NB Volts) (Though used DICE on 950, hence the bclk was almost the same achieved using 920 on air and 950 on DICE, which is around 232 max)

As have been mentioned many a times, dont use even multipliers, its strange but true, somehow these i7's dont like high bclk and even multipliers.

VTT is not NB volts, IOH vcore is NB volts. Below I am mentioning the volts that should set you up, try keeping uncore at lower settings, MSI boards are not classifieds and do not run stably at higher uncores. Though @ lower clocks I have been able to run them at around 3800 but my board has gone to the dogs and was not able to test them with subzero cooling with every thing turned up.

For vcore you can go till 1.58V safely(check volts at bottom of the bios page). Dram as much as your sticks can take. IOH till 1.55V is what I have tried(had to use DICE palettes on NB sink though)

CPU Core : .320V
QPI /VTT : .330V
CPU PLL : 1.88V
DRam : 1.65V
IOH : 1.280V
ICH : 1.5V

Hope this helps.
