While cleaning my PC and installing new case fans I used the on board power switch to test the fans. This caused BIOS settings to be changed after it stated latest overclock failed. I used the MAX FSB BIOS option to apply auto high performance settings but some settings were under-clocked while some voltages were put in the red. I am trying to get my settings to at least NOT be under-clocked. I would like a slight overclock preferably. My computer stays clean, has plenty of airflow, cables tied out of the way and has 3 internal case fans. It runs cool according to Everest sensor information.

Here is some info on my PC.
CPU = Quad Core Intel i7 950 Bloomfield
MOBO = MSI X58M (MS-7593)
Chipset = Intel Tylersburg X58
BIOS = American Megatrends V3.8

Info from Everest
CPU Clock = 2465 mhz (original 3066 mhz) 205 x 12
CPU FSB = 205 mhz (original 133 mhz 54% overclock)
CPU Multiplier = 12
QPI Clock = 3698 mhz
Memory Bus = 616 mhz
Dram:FSB ratio 3:1

The following are the BIOS settings I am currently concerned with changing. choices in ()
Intel EIST = disabled
Base Clock = 205 (100-400)
CPU ratio = 12 (12-24)
Adjusted core freq = 2460
QPI link speed = high speed mode
QPI Freq = 4.800GT
Memory bus ratio = 3 (3-8)
Adjusted Dram Freq = 1230
Uncore ratio 6 (6-24)
CPU Amplitude control = 800mv (700 - 1000)
PCI Express Amplitude control = 800mv (700 - 1000)
CPU CLK Skew = normal (100-1500ps)
IOH CLK Skew = normal (100-1500ps)
Adjust PCI E Freq = 100mhz (100-200)
CPU load line calibration = enabled
CPU voltage = +0.18
CPU vcore = 1.12
CPU PLL voltage = auto,default
QPI voltage = 1.5
Dram voltage = 1.5
spread spectrum enabled

With the current settings the CPU Core Freq. is exactly twice the value of the Adjust Dram Freq. I read that it was good to have those 2 values as multiples of each other. My CPU is by default supposed to run at 3066 mhz so I feel like i'm under-clocked there. My RAM is supposed to run at least 1333 mhz so I feel like i'm under-clocked there too. Base clock (FSB) at 205 is itself already overclocked so I assume I need to increase CPU ratio, but by how much? What should I set my Memory Bus ratio and Uncore ratio to? I'm looking for a slight overclock but at the very least please help me to NOT be under-clocked. Are my voltages right? When I used Max FSB option for BIOS to auto set these it set my Dram voltage to 1.65 which was in the red so i backed it down to 1.5. I don't want any BIOS settings in the red.
A seperate issue - the reason I listed the PCI-E freq here is that I have a PCI-E 3.0 card in a PCI-E 2.0 slot so I know the card should be able to handle higher settings than this motherboard allows at 2.0
I would appreciate any help with these settings.
 
So I have received this message in my inbox on this site.

Hello jasongodwin.tn,

We've noticed that the thread you've posted on Tom's Hardware hasn't received any responses. Perhaps it's not clear or explicit enough, how about taking a look at it to see if you can make it better?

Here's some quick advice
- Be sure that your thread title is clear and easily understandable.
- Detail your question or issue with as much depth and description as possible to improve your chances. Details like what browser you are using, what component is malfunctioning, what Operating System you are running and other pertinent information can make the difference. Is there an error code that you can include?
- Tag your thread appropriately (example: Windows 8, PS3, smartphone, etc) so that experts browsing the forum can find your thread and offer help.

What other information is needed? I have provided everything I can think of that would be necessary for someone who knows about CPU ratio, Memory bus ratio, and Uncore ratio to respond. I have ddr3 1333 (667) mhz ram operating in dual channel. That's the only other thing I can think of to add. I have changed my settings since the post. Now I have cpu 3200 ram 1200.Would someone tell me what other information I need to provide? Seems like everyone else gets their questions answered but noone will reply to my post.
