Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

try enabling HT and see where your temps go. HT adds ~10-15°C, plus you need to increase Vcore to get the same clock stable.



I haven't said its not possible, but look at your temps, all above 90°C in summer you will run 100% into the point where the cpu beginns to throttle.

Plus your on a 965 which is binned better.

HT on = 76-79c tops, even @ 1.52v, however, it blue screens within 4 minutes. Don't wanna go higher.

So I guess it's 3.8GHz HT on + cool rig... or 4.0GHz HT off + hotter temps? I still think watercooling the NB/SB may help. Just waiting for Bitspower to release their new block.
