    Veteran could you please help me OC this P6X58D-E. I know you had one for a long time. I have been using Gigabyte mobo’s for a long time but it’s just died on me and the only thing I could get was this Asus but not having a lot of luck with it. Could you give me some pointers to get to 4.0-4.2Ghz?. Old mobo ran 24/7 @ 4.0Ghz. Best regards

    I actually had not been using one of these for alongtime, less than a year.....it was the Rampage 2 Extreme that i used for around 4-5 years but i will do my best to help.

    What type of cooling and cooler do you have?

    Try this....
    Running 4.01GHz w/ HyperThreading (Stable)

    If it fails up the Cpu Voltage a little each time until you find stability.
    Do the same with the QPI Dram......be careful as it all depends on your cooling.

    Make sure you use Realtemp/Coretemp when testing for stability.

    Lots of info in this thread, tbh i found the P6X58D-E not the best board to overclock as there is no Mosfet/NB/SB block for it and i had a Golden 930!
    Most i had was 4.2 but dropped it to 4.0 to improve stability with the 690 at high OC.

    Gave these setting a go, had to increase the CPU volts a bit (1.2875). passed IBT test standard @77C but the room is 27C atm. So I thank its all good. What do you think Veteran.
    Buy the way how can I get the memory running at more like the 1866, it was easy with the Gigabyte board?

    There are 2 ways to do 1866mhz....
    Option 1. Use an XMP profile which will take you straight up to 1866mhz but you wont be able to use BCLK so your cpu oc will be limited at stock.

    Option 2. Increase the BCLK and Multiplyer which will take your cpu up but will also take your memory up. This is the best option because its overclocks all components.

    The downside is that you need a cpu that can clock very high which means your gonna need good cooling and to get to 1866mhz your cpu is gonna have to go very high which is very unlikely.

    For example i had my 930 at 4.4 Ht on (Rampage 2) which increased the memory to 1675mhz, this was the sweetspot as any ram over 1600 rated was a waste on x58. I couldnt get anywhere near 4.3 with the P6x because it just wasnt as good and there was no waterblocks for it.

    Why was it a waste?

    Well to increase the memory speed while using option 2, by the time you hit 1866mhz your cpu speed is around 4.7ghz or higher which is pretty much impossible on a 920/930 unless your on PC or LN.

    When your in the bios set the multiplyer to 19 or 21 (always use an odd number as its more stable on x58) and increase the BCLK until you see 1866mhz.

    Now check what the cpu speed is at and you will see what im talking about.

    So you will only be able to run your ram at 1866 if you use an XMP profile but then you lose out on cpu oc.

    The Gigabyte board did its job as it was a temporary fix for what i have now but i didnt rate the P6X58D-E. However the R2E was a great little board and blew the P6X58D-E clean out of the water for overclocking.

    ROG boards are the bollocks and they generally oc much better if you have the right cooling and bios settings. I wouldnt buy anything else but thats just me:)
