ndiego, i'd say the vcore looks a little high. all i7s aren't created equally so there is no way i can tell what your chip needs, but i run 1.3875v in the bios at 208bclk which is like 4.3ghz, ht off, and i'm 20 runs of linx stable. that'll be your biggest influence on the temperature, if you can minimize that voltage down, you can push your bclk farther. from my experience, leaving the rest of the voltages on auto is fine. when you really start to push the bclk past 200 is when need to start tinkering with the qpi voltage.

posershadow - thanks for the tips. I'll try reducing the vCore down a bit and slowly increasing the blck to 200. Are you running on a 940? Just trying to get some more guidance; for your 208 blck are all your other volatages (besides vcore) on auto as well; just asking as you stated that its ok unless you go over blck of 200.

Also, forgive the noobie question, but what is "linx"?

Thanks again!

Linx is a stress test you'll find in the forum here. Yeah, at 208x21, with everything on auto except vcore, I got it stable in linx. I am under water though, so that definitely is a major difference we are going to have. I'm using a 920 by the way.
