Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[rge]

Thanks...actually using stock ioh, cpu pll, helped, upping those actually makes mine unstable. I could have probably gotten there with little less vcore, 4.95 was ok with 1.59...but kept upping vcore, when it was decreasing ioh, pll etc that helped.

1.63v ok for just 15 minutes I needed in attempts. When I tried and failed for 6 hours with my i940 using up to 1.8-1.9vcore that one I was expecting to kill, course my wife has that cpu now...still chugging along fine, but it did take a little more vcore for same stability after that fiasco.

load temps for spi werent much, does not really load cpu much. I think it was just 40's maybe one core 50ish, didnt have time to look, kept trying to get pic before it bsod
