Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[SteveRo]

Thanks Steve. I'm still learning new stuff pretty much every day. Sorry I didn't go over your data in detail already. I just felt like there might be some magic to the EX58-Extreme+965 Extreme+3x1GB modules+Not Vista-64 you were using because my results were so different to yours but with a very similar motherboard.

The UD5 is an excellent mobo - just as good as the extreme for oc based on what I have seen
The 920 with F4j or m and with turbo turned on gives you constant x21 cpu multi - this is a big deal!
Do any of the other mobo's do this - ggbt did a great thing when they enabled turbo full time.
Don't be shy about the voltages or the temps - i7s can take it like there is no tomorrow.
Stay within the cpu max voltages - don't worry about the high temps for benching - the cpu can take it.
It will not thermally throttle until 100C!
