Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[SteveRo]

This is using the 'SpeedStep/ Turbo Mode"...(of course).....


The batch is from the 3838A series..I know some folks have been only able to get this one to 3.8 or 3.9 max

Keep in mind this is on air..and nope , my load temps are not 70C or 80C or 60C..which for me is unacceptable.

Some reviews seem to state that "Turbo Mode" offers very little improvements..I disagree...also this function is interesting because when idle, the CPU is clocked at 2.4 Ghz... so when not in use the CPU is not pushing wattage......very cool

Congrats!! - 4.2 is no easy feat on air even with ht off.
By the way - British Columbia is a beautiful part of the world - i particularly like Vancouver Island - Victoria is one of my favorite places.
The seaplane ride up from Seattle was spectacular.
When you have a moment - show us some screen shots under load - prime, intel burn in test or LinX - your choice - and with everest or realtemp running.
