Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[speckled10]

@ ChickenPatty - thanks for the info re: volts

Are you still running 1.35V CPU ?? Your screenie above shows 1.41V

Also what is Vtt +300mV ? Does this mean 1.65V (ie 300mV above CPU ?)

Definitely Vista mate, I get the exact same cpu score at the same clocks.

Wow .. is Vista *really* this bad across the board for dragging CPU's down ???

I see the same thing with JP's Chess Benchmark .. 10% slower in Vista over XP .. pretty shocking really ..

Are there any apps that are optimised for Vista .. or is it a fact of life that *everything* will run 10% slower thanks to the overhead in the OS ..
