Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[dejanh]

what IS your setup? what speeds are you running?

I already listed my current settings several times...

I can also run it with Turbo on without any issues, though I do have to bump the voltage up slightly.

I'm on R2E 0804 BIOS (beta I believe), Core i7 940 w/ CoolerMaster V8 heatsink, 6GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz triple-channel...

I'm too embarased to post it...still running a single 9600GT, waiting for the 55nm NVIDIA GTX parts I should really put my rig under water too, at least the CPU and chipset. My ambient temps are very high as I like my room warm (21C - 23C normally, around the computer it gets quite a bit hotter too as it is in a corner with no air circulation). I think this is limiting my OC as well as I get up to 91C using 1.46V @ 4.14GHz. I was first overclocking with the stock cooler and I noticed that I could get higher clocks with lower volts using the V8, which leads me to think that going water would be even better (i.e., even higher clocks with lower volts, or at the very least lower volts for same clocks).
