Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

According to Tom's Turbo Mode is only for the extreme edition. Don't know if that applies to the models being tested now.

This is BIOS screen from Asus P6T Deluxe with Core i7 920:

If you enable Intel SpeedStep, you get Intel Turbo option.

It can't be forced at all :-). Some tips and tricks:
1. Turbo works according to load and temperature (?)
2. Right after Windows started, run Cpu-Z
3. I personally get the max. freq for CpuZ with Prime95 25.6, 1 thread, Blend, but it's possible to get mult. 22 without it - Vista boot (and loading of drivers and background running apps) generates some load which should be enough
4. Save your CpuZ validation file every second to another file - in one of this files could be the highest frequency - in my case multiplier 22 appears for short time every 10-20 seconds
