Mushkin memory settings for 1st gen i7

[snakeeyes187]

I have a triple channel set of Mushkin 998679 7-8-7-20 @1.65v. When this first came out I talked to Mushkin for the recommended settings, but the battery for CMOS died and I lost all the settings.

I know how to put the timings and DRAM voltage in the bios, but I think there used to be more that had to be tweaked because it did not have an xmp profile. Setup is a i7 920 in a gigabyte x58-ud4p motherboard.

Anyone know if i need to mess with some of the other voltages?

Thanks

The QPI voltage is something you probably want to mess around with. What mhz are you running it at, how many sticks and what size?

1600 mhz, three sticks each stick is 2GB

I found an old article when these were tested on a similar gigabyte motherboard and was planning to use their voltages listed below.

CPU Vcore ............................... 1.39375
QPI/VTT Voltage 1.150v ............ 1.375
CPU PLL 1.800v ....................... 1.84

MCH/ICH
PCIE 1.500v ........................... 1.50
QPI PLL 1.100v ....................... 1.18
IOH Core 1.100v ..................... 1.22
ICH I/O 1.500v ....................... 1.50
ICH Core 1.1v ........................ 1.14


When 1366 came out it was a real pain to setup stuff since it was so new, now I forgot what all I changed back in 2009.
