Tightening my CPU cooler on X58 Pro-E causes me to lose 2gb of RAM memory

I have a Corsair Dominator 6gb kit for my X58 Pro-e. I noticed yesterday that I was only getting 4gb and did a lot of research to find the problem. Turns out that when I loosened my Corsair H50 cooler, I would get 6gb but my temperatures would be higher. The tightest I can adjust my CPU H50 cooler to allow me to get all 6gb would increase my temperatures from 4-6c. Not a huge difference but I havent even overclocked my machine yet.
I checked for bent pins but it seems to be fine. Should I RMA this board? The problem is that I replaced the northbridge cooler and cut the pipe connecting the NB and SB while I was at it. Did that void my warranty?

MSI informed me that they found nothing wrong with the board. This is ridiculous.
It is not that ridiculous.  The "connection" between the board's socket pins and the CPU's contact pads is a very sensible one.  A different heatsink/cooler will exert a slightly different pressure on the CPU which could make the symptoms dissappear.  I recently talked to a user that tried three different heatsink on a P55 based board (the boxed Intel heatsink and two third party heatsinks).  He had no problems with two of them, however on of the third-party heatsinks yielded memory problems for some reason.  The question in this 1:2 comparison is:  What part is to blame?
In addition to that:  There are two parts involved in the connection:  the CPU Socket and the processor.  Maybe it is your CPU that reacts "over-sensible" in this particular scenario. Have you thought about that?

    yes you can do it and not void the warranty.  Those are the only hardware changes that Apple permits.  Instructions on how to upgrade the ram and remove and replace the hard drive are even included in the owners manuals for MacBook Pros.

  • Which Thermalright chipset cooler for X58 Pro?

    I'm looking to replace the terrible stock IOH heatsink for a Thermalright one but I don't want to impede the placement of graphics cards.  Should I go with the Thermalright HR-05 IFX or the HR-05-SLI IFX?  Does anyone have any experience with this?  Thanks!

    Are you getting sloppy Aaron? 90o is the lowest in melting range of solder and is not commonly used. Alloys that melt between 180 and 190 °C (360 and 370 °F) are the most commonly used.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder
    Sloppy, no.  Behind, yes.  I don't expect myself to know this stuff...  the last time I soldered something was 6-7 years ago.   I wasn't aware there was variations in solder's melting point.  The only solder I've ever used melted at 90c.
    I give myself kudos for even remembering the temperature.

  • IOH temps higher after new CPU cooler on my X58 Pro

    Hi
    I have a X58 Pro with 12GB OCZ Platinum 1333 RAM + i7 920 + Antec EA500W. The stock cooler was making too much noise so I installed a new Thermaltake ISG 300 cooler. My IOH temps jumped from 57 to 82C on idle. I have an Antec Solo case which should have good airflow. Nothing else changed ....
    thanks
    -D

    I have seen other boards with similar big coolers (albeit from other companies like Zalman) but the IOH wasnt this hot. I will definitely try the Spotcool and see if that works. My goal was to simply get rid of the loud noise of the stock cooler.
    Quote from: Henry on 01-December-09, 11:35:59
    Looking at other manufacturers X58 boards those heat sinks don't appear to be much different so how is it that MSI is the only one you need to feel that way. You make a modification then you need to think about the other things that mod may have an effect on. There are other coolers that would have done the job without affecting designed airflow by much if any. If you change the designed airflow characteristics then you must compensate for that. In that case an Antec Spotcool would do it.

  • X58 Pro a Lemon? IOH cooling insufficient.

    Is the X58 Pro motherboard a Lemon?  The x58 cooling solution on the board is inadequate by far.  Very soon, MSI will introduce a replacement board called the X58 Pro-E which has a different heat sync on the Dr. MOS and X58 chipset.  They will no doubt ignore all of us with the Lemon.  Which is totally unacceptable and enough to make me not want buy any MSI products ever in the future!
    The only solution to cooling your IOH on the X58 Pro is to replace the useless MSI heat sync or run a small fast fan on to them. 
    Here are the possibilities;
    1) with stock cooler IOH is 72C at idle
    2) Running a 40mm 4000RPM fan ($12.00) directly onto the chips set from above the chipset, the IOH drops to 55C.
    3) Replacing the sock solution with 2 Thermalright HR-05-IFX (23.00 each) the IOH drops to 38C*
    *note: In my Antec Sonata case the HR-05-IFX are directly in the path of the 120mm fan exhaust that is mounted to the hard drive cage. This fan, draws air through the bottom of the case, over the hard drives and out over the motherboard.  This is a Noctuna 120M fan that is running at 900 RMP (Ultra Quiet Mode).  This fan blows directly onto the HR-05-IFX  and helps dissipate the heat build up on the fins of the HR-05-IFX.  With this fan turned off, the IOH temp starts out at 39C but quickly climbs into the 45C range with heavy use.
    Using the 3rd solution, I can go up to a 190 MHz  base CPU clock rate which makes the 2.6GHz i970 a  3.8Ghz CPU.  The max I can go with memory is 1500MHz using OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB)  rated at 1600 (OCZ3G1600LV6GK). Anything above that the board is not stable.  At a base clock of 210 MHz, the board hangs-up in boot.  It goes through the BIOS POS T and the screen says "WAIT..." and nothing happens.
    I'm using BIOS 7.3.  see https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126768.0 
    by the way, be careful when you remove the stock IOH cooler.  Mine was pretty much stuck to the board.  I had to yank it off with a set of pliers.  Upon taking it off, part of the problem was clearly apparent.  There was enough silicon grease (or should I say hardened cement) to drown an elephant.   The grease must be the cheapest kind you can find because it had caked up into a thick layer of plastic and I had to scrape off heavy scabs.  I wish I had taken a picture.
    Once you do this upgrade, all of us should send the $50 bill to MSI.  They should give all of us MSI X58 Pro uses a $50 rebate for selling us a Lemon.

    So far, not any X58 Pro boards have burned up an X58 (IOH) that I've read about. 72c is well below the 100c limit, so those that choose not to redo the heatsinks need not panic as long as sustained full loads are below 100c.
    Out of the 3 X58 Pros I've helped build, no 'Lemons' noted among them. Just started build #4. I would say your 3.8 on the CPU & 1500 on the mem. is pretty decent. The CPU only natively supports 800/1066 memory, so what's the complaint? 1333 & 1600 are 'OC' speeds. Your mem. sticks may be rated 1600, but doubt they are chipped more than 1333.
    What was your specific system issue that required a bios update?
    Is the X58 Pro-E a 'replacement' board as you call it, or a new introduction board to the line-up? Have you been ignored so far over your 'self proclaimed' lemon?

  • Satellite pro M10: CPU cooler troubles

    Hi
    I'm using a Satellite pro M10 1.5G.
    The cpu-cooler or ventilator, makes a strange noise. It sounds like some playcards between the wheels of a bike. It's very anoying. The pc isn't so quiet as he was before.
    What can I do?

    Hi,
    It sounds as if there is something caught in the cooling fans which is catching the fan blades. Visually check the fans through the air intake grilles to see if you can see anything.
    Unfortunately access to the fans will involve some dismantling so I would try sucking any debris out of the fan intake grilles with a vacuum cleaner.
    If the problem still persists it may be necessary to take the unit to an Authorised Service Agent for the cooling fans to be checked/replaced.

  • Building new system, MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 920, GTX 295, 6gb, Thermalright e-120

    Hello, I was hoping for some advice on this rig, to overclock or not, etc; Im a bug gamer, so its really about gaming to the max 1st,
    Heres the brand new parts;
    MSI X58 Pro-E (In the box, just arrived, do not know bios yet)
    i7 920
    Patriot Extreme Viper PVT36G1600ELK 6GB DDR3 9-9-9-24
    eVGA GTX295 1792mb CO-OP edition
    Thermalright extreme e-120 cpu cooler (Jesus that thing is huge)
    Im going to re-use this stuff:
    2x500gb seagate HDD sata raid 0 for performance
    Antec 900 case Lots of fans...nice
    DVD RW
    Corsair TX750W Says 60A on a single +12v rail (I think its good, only @ a year or so old)
    SB X-FI Fatality gamer sound card
    So, basically should I look to OC this setup a bit? maybe to like 3 GHz or so? If so, whats the "safest" method to OC? I have an excellent cpu cooler and a case that has a ton of fans in it so hopefully I should be good for cooling.
    Do I just OC the CPU? Will the memory run at its top speeds with this chip? or do I need to do something for the memory also, I recally for some reason on my current PC with a 780i SLI evga mobo I had to set the ram timins manually, they were never picked up properly on "auto", will I have that also on the MSI board?
    I hope Ive provided enough information to get started.
    Thank you for any help!
    Oh, I plan to build this baby the following weekend as I am working the next 2 weeks straight...meh

    Yes, why not?
    Do not be aiming for 3 GHz, you can run that on stock voltage.  4 GHz is more within the grasp of the TRUE 120.

    There's only one way to overclock - overclock...   There is no safe way of doing it...

    The only way you can overclock a CPU without overclocking anything else is with an extreme edition CPU.  (The i7 965, for example.)  It's overclocked by raising the CPU multiplier, not the baseclock frequency.
    With regular CPUs, you overclock the baseclock, which overclocks the CPU core, CPU uncore, memory, and QPI frequency.

    Extremely doubtful.
    I hope I've answered your questions.   I can be more thorough if you wish to know more.  Of course, Google can tell you more than I ever could.

  • X58 pro-e trying to understand a few things please help me out.

    first of all hi 
    im trying to overclock my cpu to a nice place and in my mind its 4ghz  and in my mind its like use 22X200=4ghz=happy me
    now realty is when i do that and leave every thing on auto the MB puts too much volts on the V.core like 1.4+ and thats bad for me i do have a good cooler thermaltake frio  220w
    so i tried lowering Blck and stuff and i googled stuff and ended up with a good 21X175 with 0 on the V.core only to download a program named cpu-tweaker and nehalemcalc so bare with me the question is coming  so i setup the nehalemcalc to 225X21 qpi multi X18 Uncore multi X12 mem multi X6
    only to get a warning saying (instability may occur when QPI clock is greater than 4000MHz) and it got me wondering how much did i set my Multi`s so i went and checked but i did not find them in the cell menu so i opened the cop-twaeker   to look some stuff up  and i found
    21X175=good i put that there
    7x7x7x19=ram timing good too i put them my self
    Uncore X16= bad read under
    QPI X18= good after i read in 4.8 mode its set to X18
    RAM X3 = i guess its good i put it there too
    so i opened up the nehalemcalc 1.3 and used these numbers i found only to read some thing i did not find in cell menu mem multi witch was 6 as minimal
    number in the program so whats wrong here how come its giving me deferent numbers in the 2 programs and in cpu-z its showing FSB:Dram  2:6
    so where do i find adjust that ratio found in the cpu-z or the uncore multi for that matter !
    sorry i know its crazy but i really think  thats why i cant go pass the 4Ghz dream BTW i need to add Volts to the cpu as from 3.8  :( so it just might help
    out to know every thing to know about this motherboard
    my system specc`s are :
    core i7 920 d0
    X58 pro-e
    gtx260
    1TBx2 wd
    2x3 transcend jetram 1333

    Quote from: HU16E on 10-March-11, 08:41:31
    Everything should be fine as long as the recommended max. voltages aren't exceeded. Lots of trial & error involved, within safe limits of course.
    Added:I hope that 4.00 is the CPU speed & not the volts applied.
      stop loling @ me  come please i have a dead time on the rams if i dont like them i can return them 
    so it is the cpu speed the 4k yes so pleaseeeeeee tell me what kind of volts i should use with this setup lets say 3.8ghz and i know every cpu has its own vlots and all but i need like a refrance that i can work on lets say 3.8ghz needs 1.2v on the v,core 1.5v on ram 1.2 on qpi and so on .. so for 4ghz i need 1.3v,ram1.5,qpi...... some thing easy like that    and if it works i will  for you sir 

  • Quick Short Test & Review of X58 PRO-E

    Here is an upgrade version to the entry level X58PRO motherboard that MSI has to offer before. Model name is “X58PRO-E” and this was introduced to solve the High IOH Temp that other users encountered before with the X58 Pro. The chipset & VRM heatsinks are now screwed on the board thus making a good contact for better & fast heat dissipation. Don’t get worried  also for the price because this would be still around 10k PHP and if paired with a good i7 920 processor (priced around 13-14k PHP) you will own a system which would be great for video editing, graphics processing & gaming as well (SLI or Crossfire can be done on this motherboard ^^ ). On the other hand, if you are an overclocker like me. It is very easy for the board to overclock the i7 920 to 4ghz at a minimal voltage increase and few bios tweaking.
    So here is a shot of the box and its contents
    •Four Sata Cables
    •One IDE Cable
    •Two Molex to SATA power Adapters
    •1x Cross Fire Bridge
    •Front Panel header labels
    •Driver & Extras CD
    •User manuals & Backplate
    Features
    •Support for Core i7 LGA1366 CPUs at 4.8-6.4GT/s QPI
    •Intel X58 northbridge and ICH10R southbridge
    •Six 1.5V DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to 24GB of memory
    •One Realtek RTL8111C Gigabit Ethernet controllers
    •Three PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots (x16/x16/x4)
    •Two PCI-EXpress x1 slots
    •Two PCI slots
    •Seven SATA II ports - six from Intel ICH10R (supporting Intel Matrix RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 and JBOD), one from JMicron JMB363
    •One IDE port supporting one device from JMicron JMB363
    •One eSATA port from JMicron JMB363
    •Ten USB 2.0 ports - six on rear I/O, four via pin-outs
    •JMicron JMB381 IEEE1394a Firewire supporting two ports - one via pin-out, one on the rear I/O
    •Realtek ALC888S 7.1 Channel High-Definition audio codec
    Layout & I/O Ports
    Black heatsink screw design. Three well placed PCIE (x16/x16/x4) slots which won’t give any users a problem installing three dual-slot video cards. You will also find below the Easy OC Switch sticker are the Easy Power/Reset/ Clear Cmos Buttons & beside them is the OC Switch.
    On the rear you will find 6 USB Ports, Firewire port, E-SATA, SPDIF Out , PS2 for KB & Mouse, Gigabit LAN & lastly 7.1 audio ports.
    BIOS
    I only took pictures of the Cell Menu because this is the most important part of the bios especially in overclocking. This is where you will tweak your system.
    CPU Specifications
    Memory Specifications
    More Memory Options for Tweaking
    Voltages
    This is where you can save all your overclock or tweak settings
    Test Setup
    •Intel Core i7 920 C0
    •G Skill Trident 2000 CAS9 1.65V
    •MSI 4770
    •FSP 800 watts PSU
    •Seagate 500GB SATA
    •Windows Vista Ultimate 64BIT SP2
    Below are quick short tests on how good the board can handle high memory clock speeds even though in the manual it only says there that the highest OC for the memory speed is up to 1600mhz only for the motherboard.
    G Skil lTridents 1600 6-7-6-18 TRFC60 1.58V
    G Skill Tridents 1866 7-8-7-20 TRFC65 1.60V
    G Skill Tridents 2000 8-9-8-20 TRFC80 1.65V
    Tridents 2100 9-9-9-24 TRFC88 1.72V
    I was able to get a good bclock 222 also with the i7 920 C0 I have. I guess if I used a D0 stepping instead , I can push the bclock higher.
    Final Thoughts & Conclusion
    I was very impressed on the capabilities of this entry level X58 motherboard can do. A few tweaks on the cell menu I was able to get high memory clocks and all were stable. You would also notice on one of my shots running the memory @ 2100mhz, my uncore ratio turned to a high of 4200mhz speed. All of these were done all on air. 
    Pros :
    - Cheap Entry level X58 Board
    - Easy to overclock
    - Support SLI and Crossfire
    - No issue on Bigger aftermarket CPU cooler
    - 90 degrees placement of SATA & IDE ports
    Cons :
    - No SLI Bridge included in the Box

    I wish mine were that low...  I just built a machine with the X58 Pro-E, all stock, no overclock.  Mine idled at around 80c.  I removed the heatsinks, scraped off the pink gummy stuff they used, put on new thermal paste, and reattached using two red fiber washers at each screw to increase the heatsink pressure on the chips.  It now idles at around 66c.  It is much better, but still not near the 50c that you're seeing.  I wonder why?  My case is an Antec Nine Hundred Two, with great airflow.  I also moved my video card down a slot so the cips weren't covered.
    Can someone else using the X58Pro-E board post their IOH temps as I want to change out my X58 Pro board before summer arrives.
    I am not prepared to attempt to remove the heat sink and if other people are still getting 80c IOH temps, which is what I am getting and it is winter here at the moment, then it will be a waste of time me paying to have my board replaced.

  • Random BSOD X58 Pro E new build

    Hi everyone, I hope you can help me.  I'm new to the custom built PC realm so forgive my ignorance on some of the finer points.  I have searched and can't seem to find, or perhaps understand a solution to this problem I'm having.  So, with the obligatory "please don't hit me" stuff out of the way here's the deal….
    This PC was purchased from ibuypower with a factory 20% overclock.  BSODs have appeared randomly since I unpacked it.  Initially it was thought these screens were due to an unstable overclock, however they have persisted even with optimized defaults enabled.  They usually appear during the first boot of the day, during light duty internet browsing, or doing nothing much at all.  The BSOD has never appeared under a heavy load such as flight sim, photoshop, or lightroom (overclocked or not the PC has performed flawlessly running these programs).  For example I ran flight simulator for three hours the other night at 3.85GHz with my RAM at 1600MHz and it ran beautifully.  As you can see below however (info compiled from the program “whocrashed”) it has happened a ton.   These have occurred pretty equally in OC and default configuration.  I've ran the default win 7 memory diagnostic, LinX, and memtest86+ with no errors found so far.  I hope I have provided enough information for a diagnosis, if most it is useless then I apologize and I will do my best to track down whatever additional info may be required to get to the bottom of this.  Thank you in advance.

    With optimized defaults enabled the DRAM voltage is set to auto and it doesn't appear I can change it..please advise.  Also, the BSODs have gotten much worse now and I haven't changed anything, they now occur at any time.  I've probably gotten six in the past three hours.  I guess the computer knows I have reached out to you guys and it's peeved
    When the OC is enabled (hasn't been for several days now, but BSODs still occured when it was) the DRAM voltage was set to 1.64v per "tech support" they said that setting it to 1.65v would actually be 1.66v (not sure how that is, but that's what they said).
    And to your last question their OC settings were +0.100 on the CPU voltage and 160 on the base clock.

  • X58 Pro not POSTing correctly

    Hi,
    My new install X58 Pro system powers up OK, all fans running, DVD and HDs spinning up but I get no video output and the machine powers back to standby after about 2-3 minutes.
    A couple of noob questions:
    - For a single video card which PCI-Express should I use (I'm using PCI_E2 - i.e. top X16 one)?
    - Is there a list of any POST codes (beeps etc.) and/or can an Post LED be added (like on the X58 Eclipse)?
    I have tried reseating the RAM (using the black slots), tried with just one stick in A0 and disconnected all but CPU, Keyboard and fans.  Same problem each time - 2-3 minutes of activity without video and then auto-shuts down to standby mode (yellow power light).
    All power connectors on board are being used (8 pin and 24 pin).
    I will try removing the board from the case this evening and running on a cardboard box instead.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    System details are:
    Antec P-180 Case (3X Case Fan)
    OCZ - 750W PSU (Can't remember model but a recent expensive one - $100)
    X58 Pro
    Core i7 920
    OCA Gold 6Gb 3 * 2Gb DDR3 1600
    Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler + 120mm Fan
    eVGA GeForce 8800GTS card

    Hi JustBGood, & welcome to the forum. I didn't see any beep codes in the manual, just the LED Status Indicator section on pages 2-27 & 2-28. The X58 Pro doesn't have the pinheader for attaching the D-LED2. With just one mem. stick in slot A0 (black), & CMOS cleared (with power cord removed), set XMP disabled, Spread Spectrum disabled, Mem. Ratio to 4, Uncore to 8, & retest for boot. Yes, use the PCI-E slot closest to the CPU (PCI_E2) for your graphics card.

  • X58 PRO-E BSOD

    Hi All, i am a toal n00b to the i7 setup's and related hardware oshere goes.

    Bios is set to stock standard not edited cept for Boot sequence.
    OS Vista 32Bit / Windows 7 64bit Ultimate Trial
    Ok so what happens is every 5th or so reboot my PC BSOD's, it reckons its mem, so i have swapped memory around, tried individual modules,
    i have run every known CPU/Mem/MB testing tool under the sun.
    I noticed that ever so often after a boot it posts that i only have 4gigs of memory, then when i go into the bios it shows all three 2gig modules?
    Is there something i am missing, do i have to set the corrct frequency's for my mem in bios?
    Any suggestions are GREATLY welcome.
    PS. I am a Server/PC tech od 10 years or so and i have never come across this before?
    Only thing i havent done is run linux on it ...mabey i should run it for a couble of days and see if i get any kernel panic's??

    That ends up +12V total 29 amp (348W divided by 12+ = 29A) so no good for your system.
     Minimum PSU for system with 4850 card would be +12V~30A. Corsair VX450W +12V~33A would be minimum in my opinion but VX550W +12V~41 really would be better for less stress and longer life on the PSU. Any of the higher powered Corsairs TX650 +12V~52A, 750 +12V~60A, 850+12V~70A if you might need more power later on and 750W/850W for Crossfire/SLI.
     PC P & C Silencers in the same power range shown for the Corsairs are very good also but tend to cost a little more. The PSU transdogmifier shows is really quite a bit more amps (+12V amps same as Corsair TX750W) than you really need for current use.
     I'm currently running on my Sony system w/Corsair VX450W 115W CPU with the MSI N250GTS which shows minimum +12V~32A for system. I really should have a VX550W for but don't have the $$$ and the VX450W is doing OK for now.
    Henry, you're right about more than I needed....I shouldn't have purchased it, but I was tired of having to upgrade the PSU everytime I upgraded the Computer.
    Decided to try to future proof it a bit.
    Edit: btw, OP....the Corsair units Henry is suggesting are really nice PSU's...and I would say he's spot on about at least the 550...Personally I'd go for the 650W, but that's me.

  • X58 PRO NO BOOT AFTER IOH HEAT FIX.

    Hello everyone, I have a strange problem with my x58 platinum setup after fixing the heat issue with the ioh.
    My board says ms 7522 rev 3.1. My booklet and package says x58 pro but greenpower says platinum.
    Running core i7 920 with 3 gigs of ocz 1066 ddr3 all in black slots, vista home premium sp1, msi ati 3450 hd graphics card, thermaltake v1 cooler, antec 680w iceburg psu,3x320 seagate barracuda 7200.11 harddrives,nzxt
    sentry 5 fan cooler control and lg dvd/lightscribe writer.
    I had ioh idle temps in the 70c range and near 80c at load so I read the threads in the forum and carefully removed
    the heatsinks. cleaned off the hard white and dry tmi. Reapplied correct thermal compound. Plugged everything back in and when I turned it on all I got was a quick hdd light blink and no post,no display. I might have mixed up the order of the sata drives on the board so i've tried to switch them all to other ports and to no avail.
    I cleared cmos with power off and unplugged several times with each sata port change and it's the same thing.
    Power on just the fans and all leds come on but no hdd light and no boot. Leds on my graphics card slot are on and the cpu leds are all on and green light on board is on. Maybee it's my boot sequence from the drives that are
    out of order. The system was a little touchy but for the most part stable and working fine before fixed the ioh.
    I am an electronics guy and repair amplifiers and radios and I deal with Blown voltage regulators and output chips
    all the time so I'm not unfamilliar with this kind of repair. I wore a static strap and had the board on a non conductive surface. Sorry so long but I wanted to give as much info as poss. Thanks in advance for the advice.
     

    Well, tried all sata combos that I could out of the drives and no results. To answer your question earlier. the black ring is in tact under the heatsink and I did not see any tim overflow to the surrounding area. Also it doesn't even
    trigger the monitor to come on and no beeps from system speaker. Checked all connections and everything seems to be solid. Is there a way to wipe bios and harrdrives and basically start over? I unplugged all hdds to see if I would get a screen and nothing. I've turned the thing off and on so much in different combos that I'm worried about it totally fragmenting the drives with bad sectors that it wouldn't boot even if I found the right order.
    The way my luck goes I probably fried it. Thanks again.

  • Help overclocking MSI X58 Pro-E with a i7 920 co stepping

    Good evening everyone, I would like some help with getting the best overclock I can with my rig. This is what I have: Msi X58 Pro-E, Intel core i7 920 co stepping, Corsair Hydro H50 cooler, 3 x 2 gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 c9, EVGA GTX260-216 SC 896mb, 1 TB Western Digital 32cache Hard drive SATA, Lite-on DVD/RW with Lightscribe, OCZ Stealthxstream 600 watt PSU.  Running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Currently it says that the memory is only running at 500 mghz. I can use all the help I can get. From what I have read it should overclock fairly well.  Thanks for your help John

    Currently it says that the memory is only running at 500 mghz.
    Using CPU-Z? If so, 500x2=1000. For a simple OC without having to do much of anything, change bclk to 166/167. Be sure to disable Spread Spectrum in bios Cell Menu. Go up from there until it fails to post. Add a step or two of CPU voltage & check for post again. At some point, RAM speed becomes a factor, & other voltages & settings join in the mix. Primarily, the main items involved are bclk, CPU & RAM voltage, QPI voltage sometimes at some point, RAM timings, Memory & Uncore Ratios. Other than that, disable Overspeed Protection, C-State, Turbo on or off, EIST on or off. Most important, know the operating temp & voltage limits. 

  • MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 950, first time overclocking

    Hello,
    It's the first time I'll try overclocking. My config is

    SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120Go
    COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
    OS: Windows 8.1 x64
    Could you help me to choose what to change in the BIOS ?
    Thank you !

    CPU Vcore is 1.264V and sometimes it jumps to 1.272V
    In BIOS, left to "auto" where you set VCore?
    Have you found the reason or a solution for high temps?
    According to Intel website, Tcase max is 67.9c, this means core temps should be around 70c no more, you will need them at 50-55c at stock to be able to overclock.
