Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

High bclock versus low bclock for same mhz - This is a progress report.
Still trying to find the lowest vcore that can support prime stable 4ghz. Currently priming at 1.3250 vcore.
Results so far - it looks like lower vcore (and lower temps) can be had by going to high bclock/low multi.
Data follows - (FYI - linpack was telling me I had corrupted my vista install, currently priming with 32 bit xp).

Looks like i920, i940, and i965 all then can run with lower vcore for same mhz by using higher bclk with lower multi.

You guys are killing me with 3dmark scores. I still have single ultra...waiting for new stuff to come out from ati/nvidia in next month or so to buy x2 gpu, and upgrading monitor to 25.5 or 26 inch 1900x1200, cant do monitor til get better gpu. Any problem watercooling a x2 gpu? My pcmark is 20k by running at 4.4 and doing the dpi shrink, My system is 16,800K if run straight as is.
