Hi Mike, I think You will get a bit more out of your 975 now you have lowered your qpi/dram down to 1.35v. I have a good set of Dominator gtx 2000mhz intel 975i / p6t board / the same as you and I have pegged back my memory to 1866mhz timings (7-7-6-18) Qpi/Dram 1.425 & 1.375 Cpu volt , Dram buss 1.66 / 133x33 multiplier ROCK STEADY AT 4.4 GHZ . I also think There my be More in there yet as well.Temps are 23c idle 68/72c 100% prime95 stress test.Set at 2000mhz memory speed I had to have QPI/dram 1.60volts and temps were high 80c.Plus timings 8-8-8-24. Hope this helps. AndyR

Hi mike, I bet you are really feed up now, I Know I would be Mate, Ive Got the same memory as you corsair doms 2000mhz but timings are diffrent 8-8-8-24, they ran mem test ok but they require a qpi/dram setting of 1.6v which sends out a lot of heat into my system. also 1.65v for dram. Have you got the same voltage settings . I have a 975 & asus p6t deluxe and got it o/c to 4.3mhz stable but cannot seem to get ot any higher.temps 70c 100% load . qpi/dram settings seem to be a problem with 2000mhz memory and I think NickN is right in what he says the br=est option is to shoot for some 1600mhz 6-6-6-20 with lower volt requirements and maybe you will be able to push your 975 to 4.6mhz with out having high temps. thats what I am thinking about anyway?.Hope you get sorted soon mate , all the best AndyR

Hi crash, been overclocking all day with 975 and sweet spot seems to be 4.3ghz @ stable. Not bothered with any other settings yet here is what I have adjustedmulti x33bclk 143cpu volt 1.35vcpu pll autoqpi/dram 1.60vioh autoioh pcie autod ram buss 1.66vall other settings are the same as your bios settings, temps 30c idle .100%= 75c-80c. By the way mate forget the thermaltake xaser refrigerated case for cooling, it has not performed any better than watercooling rig and there advertising temp,s are untrue to say the least. I was expecting 100% load temps to be around 45c-50c.

Hi there mate, same board as you mate P6T Deluxe V2, i core 975 , DD3 2000mhz GTX dominator 8-8-8-24 . BFG h2/o 295 gtx , Thermaltake Refrigerated Xaser case , 1300 Tagan Power, western Digital 10,000rpm drive. Just Been Built Yesterday and I want to overclock it to 4.6 if possible.Please can you Post your motherboard settings so I can Compare with mine, Have you ran OTTC or Prime 95 to see if the rig is 100% Stable & what are your temps ?Which memory are you using and at ehat settings . all this info would help me get the most out of my 975 as I am New to Overclocking.Thanks again AndyR

Hi there, Great Overclock, What motherbord are you on? Please could You let me now your settings so I can compare them to mine . I have a 975 which iam looking for help on overcloking. what are your dram/qpi volts,dram volts ect.thanks AndyR

Thanks MaxC, Will go For The Corsair 2000 / 8-8-8-24 I think they look to be The best in the uk,Just held back a few weeks because of problems with early batch,s had faulty chips but the New ones shoud be ok.Just a bit concerned about the memory timings bieng 8-8-8-24 ? what do you think mate.andyR

Thanks for that reply Nick, do you no weather Newegg ship to the Uk ? also Nick a quick question ,When I set Up my system do I have to have a operating system on my 10,000rpm drive even though i have a operating system on my 1tb drive (win7).Will be setting it up as your Guide spec says so will keep you posted on its performanc & bench marks Later, Thanks once againmate .

Hi there everybody, Please could any of you guys give me some info on what memory is the fastest for my NEW BUILD i 975 FSX system.I have a choice between 1866 corsair dominator 7-8-7-20 / or corsair dominator 2000 at 8-8-8-24.Will anyone with any advice on which would be the fastest out of these two kits please post info , or if there is anything any faster than the corsair dominators on the market.system build to dateAsus P6T Deluxe v2i Core 975 (hope to clock it to 4.5ghz)Thermaltake Xaser v1 Refrigerated case (20deg better than water cool)BFG H2/0 295 gtxMemory to be confirmed (ON YOUR ADVICE)1 TB 7000rpm ( for op system & storage)300 Gig 10000 rpm (FSX)1300 watts tagan power unitDell 24" wp monitorWOULD HOPE TO HAVE THIS BEAST UP AND RUNNING BY THE END OF THE WEEK ANYBODY GOT ANY ADVICE PLEASE i WOULD BE VERY GREATFULL !AndyR

thankyou for that reply mate, what would you do stick with the 2000mhz ddr3 domms or go for muskin redline 1600mhz 6-6-5-18 ?

Hi everybody, I have this week just upgraded my computer system for running FSX, after carefull consideration I have purchased the following components1. i7 975 (o/c 4.2 stable test ottc 80c 1hr ok)2. 6gig ddr3 2000mhz corsair doms 8-8-8-243. western digital 10,000rpm h/drive4. 1500watts power supply unit5. BfG 295 watercooled g/card6. zalman reserator xt watercooling system7. silverstone tj case8. Asus P6t Deluxe m/boardAll built up now and ready to start loading fsx on but before I do guys i am looking for some advice Please,I have managed to overclock to 4.2 quite easy by just increasing my vcore to1.35volts.ran occt for 1 hour , temps got to 79/81c but passed test.4.4ghz cpu too hot!zalman reserator running on cpu & v/card for cooling.not loaded fsx on yet because reading on your site people are saying memory timings for best performance should be 6-6-6 or 7-7-7 will my exspensive 2000mhz dominator ddr3 8-8-8-24 do the job or will I have to shoot for 7-7-7 timings with them. any advice on this system please advice me as Iam new to overclocking and all your advice would be greatfull (specialy NICKN ). Also any body read about the NEW case from Thermaltake EXPREESAIR it as a mini refrigerated built in to the case and claims to run 20c lower temps than liquid cooling,any body any thought on that ! Thanks Andyall
