Need help getting my R3E, i7-980 to 4.1ghz ram 2000mhz

[laughatyou]

Only thing I see if the CPU Ratio Setting (which I assume is the multiplier) and what does the first 3 digit number represent? ie. 200x21. Is it BCLK? Please let me know if there is something I overlooked.

Yes Ratio = Multiplier

and yes 200 is BLCK

BLCK x RATIO = CPU SPEED

yup thats right

UCLK Frequency [3287MHz] thats too high this needs to be at 1.5 times the ram speed not double. Double is for a quad core cpu as urs is 6 core u need 1.5 times. Also set ur ram profile to turbo then go into ram subtimings and set ur ram to 9-9-9-21 or 24 then manually set ur trfc to 110 not 60, or 88 set it to 110 for the turbo setting. You should be able to set ur ram voltage to 1.58 or 1.60 plus make sure you set the qpi/vtt to .5 volt of the ram volts. Set the multiplier to 21 on cpu and voltage to hmmmm might try 1.42 first and front bus speed to 200 then u can work ur way up depending on the heatsink u have on cpu. Wait that heatsink should have the switch on the fan to speed it up which should run it rather cool, I'm running mine at 4700 mhz on water but still u should be able to get 4500 mhz out of it no prob.

^^^ That statement IS NOT correct at all, yes in some cases 1.5x Uncore Frequency maybe all that is required instead x2, but not in all cases, particularly when your trying to run 12GB RAM at 2Ghz or more.
The problem lies with the IMC of your Chip (Intergrated Memory Controller), the better the IMC, the easier it will be pushing higher OC's with all your Slots populated with Memory (I'm assuming you are running 6x2GB sticks).
The difference with your RAM running 2Ghz vs 1.6Ghz will be negligeable (only in Benches),...

With 6x2GB RAM you'll have to bump up vTT along with vCore, strictly pushing vCore and leaving vTT on Auto may not accomplish anything.

Also, you were asking about Stability, try running LinX for 20 full cycles (problem size 25,000), let us know how you make out with that (keep an eye on Core temps...anything at or over 83c you may want to consider backing off).
I'm pretty sure with your vCore set that low you will likely BSOD.

I'm actually running 3x4GB (XMS3 CMX12GX3M3A2000C9)

Try LinX 20 loop or 20 intel burn test pas and see what happens. There's a world between booting into windows and rock solid stable. One of those test will tell you where you stand.

I need 1,36 vcore for 4200 mhz on my 970, by the way...
