Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[msgclb]

i havent really done my research on RAM for the i7, but whats some good tri channel RAM to recommend to someone?

If you don't have tri channel ram yet, dual channel ain't bad

Corsair DDR3-2133C9DF dual channel @DDR3-2200Mhz 1.965v
I'm surprised how easy it was to achieve a new personal best dual channel DDR3 max frequency of DDR3-2200Mhz at just 1.965v bios set vdimm


System specs

• Intel Core i7 920 3836A756
• Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme + LGA1366 Bolt Thru kit
• DFI LP UT X58-T3EH8 R.A51
  ...
• 2x1GB Corsair TW3X2G2133C9DF Dominator 9-9-9-24 at 2.0v rated (Samsung ICs)
  ...
• WinXP Pro SP3 nLite fully updated

You can have the same fun with a pair of those Dual Channel Corsair sticks for $169.00!

Newegg - CORSAIR DOMINATOR 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17066) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

If you're running Vista you might not be happy with only 2GB. To bad they don't have these available in a triple channel and at the same cost.
