Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[speckled10]

Interesting you posted this. I found too that with lower QPI/VTT voltage I end up being more stable. I do not run my QPI/VTT past 1.39V now even for 4.14GHz OC...

I think high QPI/VTT produces too much heat and unless you are cooling with water or better it becomes unstable very quickly, but I am just speculating on the cooling. I do know that high QPI/VTT really pushes the heat.

Yeah I agree... my PC totally hates the 211 x 19 setup .. prime gone in 10 seconds .. in fact 190x21 it doesnt like too much either ..

I'm on Air .. while other P6T/i7 920 guys here are loving those setups on water .. so I can only think extra CPU cooling or NB cooling is doing the job ..

Classic Satch etc .. you guys on water are you putting blocks on the Northbridge .. anywhere else ??
