Intel X58SO BIOS Settings for TR3X3G1600C8D and TR3X6G1600C8D

Yellowbeard · #1 02-25-2009, 03:30 PM

CORSAIR Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D/TR3X3G1600C8D
Spec 1600Mhz 8-8-8-24 1.65v
XMP Spec QPI voltage= 1.35V

Intel X58SO BIOS 3435 FEB 11, 2009

Intel Core i7 965EE CPU and XMP Settings:

Manually Set Timings and Voltage:
I have found Command Rate to be stable at 1T (aka 1N on some boards). QPI / Uncore Voltage Override has been stable at 1.15v on this particular CPU. You may need to go as high as 1.35v and this will depend on each individual CPU.

Won't 1.66v for the memory voltage fry the CPU? That's what Intel states.

Yellowbeard · #3 09-08-2009, 01:16 PM

No, it's safe. The only reason it hits 1.66v is that the BIOS changes the voltage in even increments, 1.64v, 1.66v, etc.

Thank you very much, Yellowbeard. This is THE thread for me, soon I'll be buying the exact combination of memory/MB you posted here. So the information you posted is very valuable for me. Thanks.

You are very welcome. It's good to our resources are valued by our customers.

I just would like to say I bought this combination and everything is working just fine. Thank you very much. :)

Would these settings also work for XMS TR3X6G1600C7 ? I'm also having the reboot issue with this board (lights and fans spin up but not boot, pull power for 10 seconds and it boots fine) and I'm trying to troubleshoot.
Thanks in advance.

Not by setting them manually no, the settings are not the same. Try clearing the BIOS, boot to BIOS, and select the XMP profile.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm overclocking to 150Mhz, so with the memory multiplier at 12 (XMP profile) that cranks it (to 1800).

What I'm running now is the XMP profile but the multiplier knocked down from 12 to 10 (1500Mhz). So the memory should be 'underclocked'. And I'm having the odd behavior at boot.

Also, what about the command rate and QPI voltage? Leave them at XMP settings?

Yellowbeard · #11 12-03-2009, 03:07 PM

You may want to try clearing the CMOS, disabling the XMP, and manually setting the memory timings and voltage. Use the XMP timings and voltages for memory and QPI.

hello im kinda new ion this thing i7....

i bought a i7 920 and 1 intel dx58os.. and this memory tr3x6g1600c8d g

my`memory is running at 1067... shal i fallow this config to set my memory to 1600?? or what??? cuz i read that that config is only to the proc Intel Core i7 965EE CPU,,

so what are your recomendation?? thanks in advance

Wired · #13 12-12-2009, 10:57 PM

All you have to do is enable XMP as shown.

bamsillo · #14 12-13-2009, 09:14 AM

well i dont know but i think im having some inestability... cuz for example y just re install my win7 ultimate 64b..

last time with my memory running at 1066.. i install office 2007, windown update, cs4 suite, and some other stuff like nero powerdvd all at the same time..

now at my memory running 1600.. i cant install all that at the same time my machine freeze and i have to wait to 1 install finish... is there something i can do or test to check my stability?
