Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[SteveRo]

New 4.2GHz overclock that I stabilized yesterday, 21x200MHz at just 1.360V in CPUZ (1.376V actual). Here is a screen of a run I did with it this morning. Decided to open the balcony and let some fresh air in. Ambient temps around 17C.

64C on the hottest core using LinX (Linpack) 20-pass run with my new cooling setup running a customized CoolIt FZE with a Swiftech MCR220-QP rad and micro res in the loop.

wow dejanh!
nice work!
the lowest coolant temp I have had on my boreas so far is just under 18, you got down to 10!
I will try to run 4.2 as you have, not sure I can get 4.2 at 1.376 but I will try - again excellent work!
Tell us some more about your cooling loop - order of components going to/from block, just the cpu? no vc's right?
what pump are you using - low or high flow, is your rad 2x120?, running all 1/4 inch or using reducers? ...

If you are staying subambient with your water you might want to lose the rad.
Based on reading in the tec thread - if your water is subambient the rad will heat it up to room temp.
