Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[mremulator]

Got my new chip today, straight from the beast's mouth

Currently running 64-bit Prime stable (small, large, and blends tests) with 4-cores/8-threads at 21x200MHz (no turbo, straight 21x200MHz on the Core i7 940) with DRAM at 1603MHz with 7-8-7-20-1T timings at 1.40800V CPU/1.65681V DRAM and 1.35000V QPI/DRAM (VTT)

It's an "A" chip btw and I forgot to mention that this is all on pure air. No WC, no fancy cooling at all...

Nice "silent" system too, fans on low.

As I thought, it looks like that extra multiplier does the trick at the same voltages.

dejanh... your Corsair RAM looks like it may perform better than mine, as mine will only do 1600MHz @ 8,8,8,24,1T and not 7,8,7,20,1T. I also have exactly the same mobo as you.

Also bearing in mind your observations... why are you not running 22x190 instead of 21x200??

Getting my i7 940 tomorrow.
