Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[JWMc]

Same experience / result here. Is this the famous "User error"?

Yes, I think that's exactly it.

I finally brought my vDRAM and QPI/VTT settings back to what I was using for 4.0ghz HT with only 2 memory modules and that made it stable in LinX! I had also been finding the right vCore value of course and finally did.
Edit: Correction: I'm using 1.395 VTT instead of 1.375 which I used with 2 modules. I'm also using 1.68v DRAM instead of 1.66v.

Thats a nice chip, wish mine would do something like that =( lol

I got it from Newegg if that's of any help.

Here's my final OC on air (that I'm willing to try):
