Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

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

45C load?! Surely, you must have something wrong there...unless you are keeping your computer outside in minus temps (like -40C) there is no way that a 1.45V, 4.2GHz OC with HT on will give you 45C load. Heck, even stock 2.66GHz will not give you 45C load with a 23C ambient.

No way. Completly impossible. What are you real load temps?

If you can get 4.2GHz with HT on below 1.30V that will be a record I think. One other thing...are you running XP 64?
