Intel Core i7 Overclocking Tutorial (Part 2)

Overclocking BIOS (Part II)

Once you've found Bclk the maximum we can go to maximize speed. I recommend starting with the memory. We have all settings except for the multiplier of the memory and Bclk.

Turn the Bclk at 133 and the memory multiplier to default (or higher if you have memory clock). Now increase the Bclk steps and test each memory with a program like memtest 86+.


Megahertz hard count

Now to the most important of all, the processor clock rate. To begin, we all back on the back burner so that we do not burden it. We now know the maximum cpu and bclk frequency and it is a question of trying. That could be a very tedious and time consuming, so it is advisable to be here to take.

Set the maximum frequency multiplier (965 excluded) and raise the Bclk again with steps to not more stable. When you've got the processor stable you can start the clock to uncore something in order to improve the memory performance (6GB> has more benefits than <6GB). Again you can do this by simply bringing up the multiplier to your notice that the system no longer boot / stable.

Voltages

The reasonable overclock experienced might already have noticed, but there is nothing so far about voltages. That's right, that story is now.


Increase Bclk stability

There will come a point that the Bclk not higher. Increasing he VTT voltage (Asus calls it QPI / DRAM) should ensure that it improves.
Maximum value: 1.35 ~ 1.4 V


Increase Memory stability

In addition to the voltage you can of course also loosen up the timings of your memory a little. The voltage of the memory, in the X58 no more than 1.65 V. There are many people who claim that the entry of the VTT 0.5V must be safe. So at 1.4 V, the VTT DRAM voltage 1.9 V.
Maximum value: 1.65 ~ 1.66 V


Increase Processor stability

Increase the vCore as little as possible, the Core i7 is shockingly warmer when fully charged. The increase in small steps is the best and gives the best result. Sometimes, there is no sense in raising because the temperature is often too high.
Maximum value: 1.25 V, or 1.35 ~ 1.4 V with good air
