ya you shouldnt have an issue getting 3.6 at least. Dont use the dummy overclock.
Revert everything back to stock settings, and when you are in windows start by seeing how high it can go on stock settings by using EVGA e-leet.
Bump the qpi up by 2 at a time until youve reached instability (using prime 95 for at least 5 minutes between each qpi increase). Just a really rough, lets see if itll stay running kinda thing.
If it fails small fft it prob needs more vcore, where if it fails large fft, it prob needs a bit more on the vtt. Once you get the first initial large jump and find the instability on stock voltages, its going to be tedious from then on. probably get 5 qpi or so, then youll have to change voltages again. From the few i7’s ive owned, most of them are pretty friendly up to 3.8. Thats when you may start to hit the brick wall. for example, my 940 was able hit 3.8 on 1.35v, but it wouldnt be stable at 3.9 unless I fed it 1.45 or so. Even then it wasnt stable like I wanted so thats where you back off. When it starts to need tons more voltage for only a tiny increase, youre starting to push it too far. Unless youve got extreme cooling or water, definitely dont go beyond that point.
Most of your other settings can stay on auto. Ram is also important too. I dont know what speed ram you are using, but for it to run in a kind of 1:1 ratio with your qpi, it is the 2nd number in the memory ratio x qpi. Example, my memory ratio is set at 2:8. My qpi is 200. So my ram is currently at 1600, its rated speed. Then from there its just setting the timings and voltage per spec. You can actually get away with less than 1.65v likely. Mines only at 1.6.
