Need assistance boosting performance on your old i7 960 Bloomfield CPU
It seems like you're asking about the current CPU clock speed and whether it meets a certain target. Let me know if you'd like help checking or optimizing it!
Consider using odd numbers in the settings. Does your system support versions beyond 21? The Asus P6T was limited to 20 before the latest BIOS update.
That's interesting, adjusting the bclk to 25 and lower should match the 4 setting.
Yes, 2400MHz is too high for the motherboard and the CPU. I tried the system today using 1920 MHz RAM (with timings 9-10-9-28) and a 4.0 GHz CPU clock. It ran smoothly for 50 minutes with stable Prime95 small FFT without errors, followed by three hours of gaming. I'm very satisfied with the results! I also increased the QPI voltage to 1.36V and set IOH and ICH Core to 1.2V. Perhaps I can push it even further with the RAM and CPU.
