Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

1.395v for qpi?
I wouldn't run it that high for long periods at least not until we have more experience with the chip. intel max v's -

Yep, I know. I'm going to try and see if it's still stable with it lowered next. I needed it to get stable even at lower overclocks with these 2 gig modules. I need some 1 giggers like yours so I can cheat. :P

Edit: But isn't the QPI/VTT voltage max more of a thing referencing the max DRAM voltage which they only had to specify because the old DDR3 memory couldn't run at low enough volts to stay within 0.5 volts of the stock QPI/VTT? So if you are running 1.9v on your memory you need at least 1.4v QPI/VTT (probably more lke 1.5v) and this is 'safe' with sufficient motherboard cooling, I think.

So far I am unable to get stable at all ever with 3 x 2gig modules at tight timings at 4.0ghz and beyond without exceeding 1.35v QPI/VTT. Actually, I needed 1.375v QPI/VTT to pass long prime blend runs even with 2 sticks.
