How to Overclock i7-860 on Gigabyte P55-UD3R ?

[Nakul2]

I am using i7-860 and Gigabyte P55-UD3R with air cooler. Now I want to overclock it with the motherboard. But before that I want to upgrade the system with Athlon X2. After this i want to overclock the system. As I am using i7-860 and Gigabyte P55-UD3R. I want to know how to overclock i7-860 on Gigabyte P55-UD3R ? I want to the basic BIOS step. Anyone can suggest me.

There are few steps for over clocking which I am explaining below:

• You should to remember the maximum voltage and stay under the
  1.55V for Vcore,
  1.21V for VTT,
  1.65V for RAM
• Keep low BCLK.
• Use EIST and C1 state of power saving and disable turbo mode.
• Run CPU at 1.9v.

Can anybody explain the logic behind the options i.e. bclk, qpi. What are the effect of pcie bus and memory? Can anybody explain me a step by step order so that I come to know what settings need to change? Any suggestion will be appreciated.

• BCLK: It is the front side bus which is replaced with quick path interconnects (QPI) which sometimes called as BCLK (baseclock). It is also called as memory controller.
• QPI is the chipset controller.

They affect to the memory as they will go up the memory speed will increase.

I think for Over clocking you should to keep these things in mind. Do the things stated below:

• Low down the memory frequency.
• After that lock the timings and the voltage.
• After determining the IMC voltage increase the BCLK.
