Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[ShoNuff]

I tried running prime but it got over 70C pretty quick so i stopped it.
I will run some 24/7 testing once i get a water block. I did test at
3.8 and 4.0 while gaming 'NFS Undercover' and it ran perfectly fine.

Your results are encouraging. I've been lowering the voltages trying to find the sweet spot today. My initial vCore was 1.31/1.35 (Windows/Bios). Now I am at 1.3/1.26. For stability testing I've been using OCCT v2.01b for 30"-60". In between testing I've been gettin' my game on making sure the settings are good.

I'm using the Gigabyte EX58-Ext. (cpu batch# 3837A728). I'm also using the Cooler Master V8 and I gotta say I like it so far. Keeps the temps manageable until I can put everything back under the wet stuff.

200 BCLK
DDR3-1600 Mhz 9-9-9-24
Uncore x16
Memory 8x
Turbo ON

Keep pushing it and posting your results!



Looks like 1.25v lowest 1 hour OCCT stable vCore.
