Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[Rammsteiner]

good morning, qpi v up to 1.35 and/or mem v up to 1.65 to stay within the intel max. mem multi x bclock to get to mem speed.

and this is important - you need to set you uncore muti to twice your mem multi, actually twice your mem multi plus 1 click up is even better.
However - careful - max uncore speed is 4000 may be just a bit higher. Hope this helps.

Im so glad I didnt go with those OCZ Blade's. The specs look awesome but yeah, if you Uncore cant run it you'll have to downclock the RAM anyway (right?). Although this might allow for tighter timings but well

Instead I got a nice Mushkin kit which had a 100 Euro discount

Anyway, I dont have the parts yet, but to be sure, VTT/QPI or how you want to name it, is best to stay within 1.35V according to Intel, leaving your Vdimm to be max 1.85V (to be sagfe maybe a notch slower), right?
