XS INTEL CORE i7 STABLE OVERCLOCKING DATABASE

Taken me about 2 weeks to get here, but here she is. Enjoy

Looks good on the settings bro but your temps look like they're getting kind of high. I bet you'd break 95C in LinX. Mid 80's is where my temps are hitting under load in LinX with my Xeon W3520 at 4.1Ghz. I'm planning to lap my TRUE and get some higher CFM fans to hopefully drop temps some. These i7's do get hot if you're not on watercooling or lucky enough to get one that runs 4.2Ghz at real low voltage.

Very true and thank you sir. I am hoping to pickup the Noctua or something along those lines here soon to get the temps a little more under control. I actually got it up to 4075 right now but she will not go any higher and I am not giving it anymore voltage.

Edit - I should also say nice work on your Xeon.

OK, my initial Overclock, just put this setup together this week. My goal was just to get 4ghz, and from there tweak voltages/mem/vcard. (I like round numbers, what can I say).

Oddity though with this board. Seems whatever bclk I set in the bios, it shows up as .5 lower. So when I set my bclk to 200, I was showing in windows as 199.5 (3990mhz instead of 4000). So I set it as 201, hence why I'm teetering around 4010. Anyone seen this before?
