Your builder apparently does not know what they are doing

The Coolmaster V8 may not handle a full 4GHz i7 clock but a 75c idle temp is well into the danger zone

with you hitting 100c you are lucky you still have a processor

If you do not know what you are doing and they dont, I suggest you get this system to someone who does before you fry a 1000$ processor




This should be your BIOS here and regardless of the right values to start off... clocking requires experience:


ASUS P6T DELUXE V2 Template 965 4GHz DDR3 1600 8-8-8-24

About the Corsair 8-8-8 memory.. its OK but 6-6-6 or 7-7-7 memory would have been a-LOT better

Thank you Nick.  I had a guy who I believed new what he was doing and I gave him all of your posts to comply with.

Sincerely thank you I hope no damage has been done.

Nick,

Is the Corsair 8-8-8 memory a setting thing or did I buy the wrong memory to get the 6-6-6 or 7-7-7

I went by the information you posted and assumed it was the Corsair 8-8-8 product

Is that what you have installed?

Thanks again Nick.

I missed something... this is a EVGA motherboard

Sorry.. the BIOS setting I posted above are in fact correct/safe but they are for the Asus motherboards. EVGA may have different methods of calculating voltages so the settings I posted will most likely be different

I do not use the EVGA products.. and I know their x58 motherboards are different from Asus with respect to settings.. so the bottom line with this is you need to take that list above and get it to someone who works with the EVGA boards and knows/understands the differences.. most likely they will have a different method of calculating QPI voltage which is QPI/DRAM on the Asus boards. They may also handle UCLK Frequency a bit different as in they may ask for a multiplier instead of a strait frequency value.

But none the less, the settings I posted above will be the equivalents to the correct values on the EVGA board.

Thank you again.

as was mentioned in another forum.. after the voltages are established and in order, which with the coolmaster v8 I am not really sure you will hit 4Ghz under 80c, the person checking it out may want to inspect the install of the heat sink.

You wont know if there is a problem in that area until eveything else is in place settings wise. I would say off the top of my head the CM v8 will probably do 3.8GHz @ somewhere around 1.28 to 1.35v CPU Voltage and run just under 80c. If you are still seeing excessive temps after eveything is set up correctly then the person checking it out needs to look further at not only the heatsink/install but the airflow in the tower too.. i7 needs a good tower to breathe and cool off

no problem..
