Basic Core i7 Video Overclocking Guide/How-To

[LinusTech]

We cut this together this week starting from Saaya's excellent tutorial on overclocking the Core i7, and although it's not really tuned for the crowd around here, hopefully some of the basic concepts presented (in regards to the differences between Core i7 overclocking and Core 2 overclocking) will be helpful for those new to the Core i7.

Nice video.... good to get hands dirty slowly and safely around Core i7.
Cheers.

Great video Linus! Thanks for your insight and showcasing some of the great products out there.

[LinusTech]

Thanks guys. I just don't want other people to have to spend as much time learning the basics as I did. Once you get the terminology down, it's a little bit easier to do reading up on it.

Good one! An asset to the OC'ing community. I hope there was no injuries involved with that fan. Watch that fan! It BITES! (no shroud)

[Charles Wirth]

Good job and good tips for those starting out.

[LinusTech]

Thanks Charles. High praise from you.

I learned everything I know about overclocking from the fantastic community you've built up here.

Thanks for the video!!!

Hmmm, is 1.25 volts really a good recommended limit or would 1.3+ be acceptable for the new core i7?

[Metroid]

Amazing video guide presentation,

Thanks very much

Excellent guide! Love how the mobo boxes keep ninja-changing on your table as you progress: first Intel's x58, then the Rampage and P6T...

nice video.. gotta love the 1.25v recommendations.. we'll all follow that one

[giorgos th.]

Superb video buddy....everything was smooth....
nice usefull tips there..

[Kensek]

1.25v on VCore. No i7 can OC with such a low voltage. The R2E BIOS sets the i7 CPU v up to 1.50 as the safe limit. Intel specs provide the safe range to 1.375-1.400v.

But, Kudos on taking the time and initiative in making the Video. It was professionally done.

Very nice thank you

1.25 is enough to take my 920 up to 3.7 without issues.... Maybe I just have a good chip?

Once you start to put vCore into these things they get HOT.

[Shock]

Great job! Good looking water cooling too ;-)

[herderien]

nice video with a bit of humour that make it fun for anyone

[Etihtsarom]

Cool video until the nerdy tripping @ the end, which makes it ultra funny if done on purpose and even funnier if you were just being a nerd. No really, did a great job, thanks very much.

[George_o/c]

Great video ! Thumb-nailed, untill I decide whether I buy one or not

[hotrodtheman]

Awesome video man. I've been out the game since Conroe was released, so this video has been very informative for me. Thanks to everyone that helped put it together.
