Hi guys
I would like to ask if anyone can post BIOS setting for overclocked settings for this combo please!
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD9
Kingston 6GB PC2000
Intel CORE I7-950, 3.060 GHz
Thx

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte UK Forum.
I don't know how much you know about overclocking but it is not a science it is more of an art. The thing is what works on one system will not on another identical system so you can't just swap settings with someone else. It is all a matter of trial and error, mainly error and resetting everything!
-
Hehehe thx so i kind a experienced that.....But i am willing to give it a shoot i mean if we have identical MB and CPU it just might work i just hope that someone is so kind to post it :)
Thx

Yes if someone can give you their settings you might be able to use them as a guide. Trouble is not that many people have your motherboard.
It might be worth trying to have a look on TweakTown Forums in the USA as they have a good OCing section.

www.overclock.net is also a good place to look for overclocking advice.
Mind you, some people may not like this particular question of yours. Better be extra polite from the get go and mention that you don't know a whole lot about overclocking and hope to use these settings as a guideline.

I noticed that ppl dont like questions like this....But i dont see what the big deal is i just dont want to experiment with BIOS and voltage because i not pro at this or better yet because i DONT know what im doing....I am an orthopedic surgon so if anyone asks me how to inset endoprosthetic i will be more than happy to explain :)
Also i posted on some forums that i would pay for help (for guidence at least ) but still no reply :(
But thx for info anyway

I am trying to steer clear of them at the moment thanks but I have asked someone to have a look at your thread.

Yeah, I get what you mean. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure you should be able to find some reasonably detailed info on overclocking your processor if you look around. The motherboard isn't THAT important here as long as it's at least decent ( unless you want to get everything you can out of it ). It's more about figuring out what's what in the bios as different makers/boards may use different names for things.
Also i posted on some forums that i would pay for help (for guidence at least ) but still no reply :(
This I'd advise against. Generally, with something reasonably simple and hobby-oriented like this, it's not a great idea to offer money for help.
There's one more thing - do you have a good cooler for your CPU? If it's the original Intel one then it'd be a good idea to replace it if you're aiming for anything more than a minimal overclock.

Everything is watercooled except RAM

Try these for 4.2Ghz with memory at 1600
BSOD Error codes and what they mean:

0X00000124 << Incorrect QPI/Vtt Voltage (To Much/Not Enough)
0X00000101 << Not enough Vcore Voltage

##Channel A Standard Timing Control##

I don't have a link to your ram, so the above is just a general guess. 2000Mhz is not ideal for your CPU to use for daily 24/7 settings, so 1600Mhz sounded good for now ;D
Below values may be left in Auto if you like, generally this is fine. For those users who DO Set advanced timings manually, please see some of my thoughts and findings about these settings and rules here

OMG thank you so very much :)))
Ill try and get back to you
-
So how did your overclocking go?
-
Did you not see that streak of lightening flash across the sky just now? ;)
-
Haha, ya actually I did!
Have you heard back from him at all on this?
-
Hi Lsd,
No not a word, it's either working fine and he doesn't want to waster processor cycles replying or it has gone up in a big puff of smoke and he cant! ;D
Anyway thanks for taking a look at it. ;)

Anytime!
Hopefully all is well for him!
