Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[dejanh]

yah stress testing over night and all that stuff to me is pointless. Enjoy it, if it crashes, just simply tweak it as if you failed prime. Same crap, different toilet.

I do generally agree with this. I believe some amount of stress testing is good, but in general go with it and if you have problems then tweak. Exception are those people that do 24/7 work with full load on all cores/threads as they need absolute stability. But this kind of goes in the face of overclocking too since any overclocking always increases the chance that the system will be unstable, regardless. Moreover, if it is just a small instability it may now show for weeks.

By the way, those that haven't done so already head on over to my contest thread here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=220984 and drop me a line. I can only win with your support!

Thanks guys
