I'd like to update my profile. I found a bios template on the evga forums that helped me a ton and got me to 4ghz stable with HT. And keeping the core under 80C in linx and the windows are closed. Also BFBC2 stable.
User Name: (skindogg)
CPU: i7 930
FPO/Batch #: (Example: 3951A687)
Store: (Microcenter Columbus, OH)
Purchased In: (March 11 2010)
OC: (3990.0Mhz)
Stability: (WIP: Ran 20 Linx passes at 4096MiB)
Temp (Idle / Load): (Example: 41c / 77c)
Hyper Threading / Turbo Boost / Multiplier: (Yes / No / 21x)
Stepping: (5)
Revision: (D0)
Vcore/Core Voltage: (1.30V) -Without VDroop
Cooling: (Air)
Cooler brand/model: (NH-U12P SE1366)
Motherboard: (EVGA X58 SLI LE)
Bios Version: (S71H)
Operating System: (Win7 64)
RAM brand & type: (OCZ 3x2GB DDR3)
RAM Part #: (OCZ3G1600LV2G)
RAM rated speed: (1600 MHz)
RAM actual speed: (760 MHz - 2x CPU-Z DRAM Frequency)
RAM Latency: (9-9-9-20-74 1T)
RAM Voltage: (1.65V)
The VREG still goes to about 70C but I'll get a fan for that shortly. I've read these are fine to operate up to 100C.
Other voltages of note:
CPU VTT: 1.2
QPI PLL: 1.225 (I think this one was holding me back originally)
ICH vcore: 1.2
