Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[chuckbam]

I am getting old. I go more for power management and 24/7 operation. I am happy with 30%. And, that was my target. I idle at 31C.

Does anyone have what would be the default volts for the setting (other than CPU and DRAM). I still like to set all my volts manually. If you have that you could save me some time.

Great OCs people!!! I wish I could see some 4.0 GHz benchmark results.
