Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

WTF do you live? in hell? How high is your ambient temps to get such high load temps only @ 3.6GHz with such a low vcore?

Try reseating your heatsink.

You got me there, I live in New Hell City as you'll notice from the weather gadget.

I reseated my heatsink already on another user's recommendation from this thread. I had a lot of paste and now I put very little thermal paste on. I can try reseating it again with new paste application but frankly I doubt that it is going to make all that much difference judging from the temps that I'm seeing for these processors generally. I'll give it a shot but it just might be my CPU, case, and cooler combo being not so good.

I ordered a 120mm Scythe S-Flex 1,200 RPM fan for case intake and am awaiting that for better air intake flow.
