New Core i7 system (after my abortive MSI X58M motherboard experiment....POS!)....
Asus Rampage II Gene mb
3 x 2GB Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600 RAM
4870 1GB video card
1TB WD Black hd, etc., etc.
Watercooled with HK 3.0 LT, DDC2 pump w/XSPC top, TFC 240 radiator.....

Anyway, got it to 4.0GHz on 1.3V core voltage. Rest of settings are a mystery to me, but best I got them to was Uncore voltage 1.36V, RAM voltage 1.64V and freq of 1603MHz, 200 x 20 multiplier, Turbo on, HT on, all power savings options off. About all I remember.....I left a lot of settings on Auto, to be honest.
Ran Linpack and OCCT 3 for an hour.....hottest core got to 66C.
But, am complete novice to i7 overclocking (which is why a lot of settings are on Auto).....any suggestions for better settings, settings that I missed, need to check, set, etc.?
