Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[Ufon]

Ufon the reason i ask about the temps is on that link of yours real temp says 89,89,85,85 and core temp says 92,92,85, 86 , im used to with my quad max temps when folding are 56c max, so does core i7 run that hot or those temps wrong ?

Bloomfields are really hot. Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme is not weak air cooler and the temperatures are high even without overclocking. But I'm not sure about the correctness of RealTemp/CoreTemp numbers....

Ufon - can you tell me if this fella will give much of a gain in 3D06/vantage ?

3DMark06 CPU score
QX9770 (3,2 GHz) - 4,708
965 XE (3,2 GHz + Turbo) - 5,530

3DMark Vantage CPU score
QX9770 (3,2 GHz) - 13,290
965 XE (3,2 GHz + Turbo) - 20,268


Btw, we've just improved our record with i920 and air cooling: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=440058

Core i7 920 @ 4168 MHz (thx to Intel Turbo tech., of course)

So, all the records http://en.ripping.org/database.php?cpuid=873 are right now in hands of editors of ExtraHardware.cz . I'm looking forward for first tries with LN2. We'll publish more info (BIOS and cooling photos for example) on Monday (after NDA will lift up).
