Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

cannot get prime stable with 20x200.... even with 1,42v..

Out of curiousity what other settings are u using? For 20x200 stable, I had to use 8x multi and 16-17x uncore. It was not stable with 6 multi and uncore of 12-15. I had to clear cmos after trying 6mem and 12uncore.

Have u tried loadline enable, turbo off (initially), mem 8, uncore 16, pcie 100 (doubt necessary but..), qpi/vtt 1.32, cpu pll 1.86, qpi pll 1.14. And scaling for me is .03 to .035 additional vcore for every 100mhz when around 4ghz. Also what flopper said, be interesting to try 19x210.

Do oyu like orthos more than prime 95? I thought after quad it was just easier to use prime 95?

No, I use prime almost exclusively now with quads. But I needed 4 versions of a program running to set each version affinity for 1 core so it was easy to start and stop each core for testing...just used orthos for that purpose.
