Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

You can follow Reverend's advice but the truth is no one can answer your question, not for another 3 years

There are people who also say 1.55v VTT, even 1.65v is fine and will not degrade your cpu as long as you keep the 0.5v max between VTT and vdimm. Some people are needing this to get their old ddr3 2v+ kits working at stock.

You need to make up your own mind, or just go with someone else's mind i guess. Personally i don't want to go over 1.45v vcore and 1.45v VTT right now, because i don't need to for the clock i want

Absolutely. I just play a bit conservative but still over Intels maximum. It's done well for me in the past so I ride it.

Same here, and if the vast majority of us are getting desired 24/7 settings between 3.8 and 4.4ghz with these voltages then there's no real need to go over them, unless benching or you have a really bad chip
