The default Uncore multi for the 965 is 20x (~2666 Mhz). For the 920 and 940 it is 16x (~2133 Mhz).133MHz BClock, 24x CPU multi, 18x QPI, 24x uncore, 12x memory.
Welcome to Icrontic, Solistice.
I don't have the ability to edit the post that I quoted anymore, but I just wanted to note that what I posted has some gaping holes in it.The default Uncore multi for the 965 is 20x (~2666 Mhz). For the 920 and 940 it is 16x (~2133 Mhz).
Setting the parameters in NehalemCalc to the default 965 settings with DDR3-1600 generates the message The Uncore Multiplier should be >= 2x Memory Multiplier. Is the implication being made that the IMC in the 965 cannot provide enough bandwidth for DDR3-1600 by default?
The interesting thing to note here is that adjusting the uncore multiplier on i7 processors does not yield any performance gain, and Intel's own default settings seem to disregard this rule of uncore = 2*mem.
Also, I would do away with all message boxes. The uncore multiplier message should show up in the same label as the QPI frequency warning, if it is even necessary. It seems to me that this message is erroneous.
Thanks Ryder. If anybody has questions about the Core i7 Multipliers, head over here.Done.
I think I picked out what should have been moved.
