Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

is this the cpu power limit ? TDP Override - Enabled

Yep. It should give the permanent multi of 21 when turbo enabled on i920 or 23 on i940. You can check and see if working by downloading everest trial version...download from stasio thread

go to computer>>sensor so it shows watts. And use cpuz/real temp to show multi/mhz.

then overclock computer to 4 to 4.2 and run linx, just get TDP to 150W or so and see if still enabled, ie multi is still 21 for i920 or back to 20 or still 23 i940 or back to 22...like pic here, TDP is 263W (way over 110-120W where turbo kicks out on F3 bios on GB board which has TDP limits enabled, and temps 100C, current way over rated max)...http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...95#post3574895

EDIT, just saw you have i965...irrelevant for you, if you want higher multi you dont need turbo.
