I thought it was u sneaking all the Redbull in my POT??????
Here is what I was doing in the BIOS when I was able to pull out of coldbug in windows and complete the benchmark
My QPI was: 1.35v never went past 1.4v
My PLL is also set to 1.55V
My PCIE clk is: 100Mhz
My DRAM, UCLK, QPI are all on lowest dividers, QPI is on SLOW MODE
my IOH and ICH voltages are set to AUTO
QPI PWM: 1.33x
IOH PWM: 1.33x
DRAM PWM 1.33x
DRAM Timings: all AUTO
for CPU config, I disable all features but Prefetcher and cachine
I have LN2 Mode jumper disabled
the CB pullout is different for every chip, you have to tune your chip on LN2 for best clock speed and tweak every voltage and divider and test CB, pushing to see what settings improve your CB this can usually be done in an hour or 2
Some chips would CB at -140 and after tuning for an hour i could get CB up to -175ish
one of my chips CB at -150ish and I could tune it for hours till i got to -190ish
kinda a time consuming way to over clock but i dont yet see any data at this point to show a reliable trend in bios settings that can be universally applied to CPUs
If i pickup a new chip i have to spend a lot of time failing on applied settings before i see net results in overcoming the cold bug
could it be that some areas of the chip are running warmer than others? while we are able to get other areas colder? (not like ramping a high QPI or Core Voltage)
When i get my hardware back from FedEx and have LN2 to test BIOS settings i will be posting my results on the forums
