Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[JPQY]

When your system freezes most off the time to low vcore,dram voltage or Qpi/dram core volt.
The first two looks good so how much is your Qpi/Dram Core Volt.
What cooling you using.. your temps!
Your power supply(psu)..i think must be strong enough.
Is your C-State Tech Enabled? this can make it unstable when using higher overclocks -> So Disabled it!
and so on..so we need all your settings to help you!

And guys i still need results from a W3520 for my list who give it a try

My Qpi/dram is at 1.35, is that too high? Im on air cooling, using a TRUE with 2 x scythe ultra kaze 2000rpm fans in push /pull setup. idle i get around 38-40c, and load with prime in get 77-80c max. My PSU is a 850w toughpower, so this should be adequate power for my OC?

These are some of the stuff i have disabled / enabled in my bios
