Core i7 Overclocking by Batch #

[ed.howell]

imo, thats a nice OC for air cooling. The Prolimatech Megahalem was the heatsink I was thinking about. Can you tell me a little more about how you have your voltages setup? Is 4.5Ghz your 24/7 OC and what temps do you get?

Wrote batch number down at home, forgot to bring it to work
I will also get some screenshots when I get home.
Specs are below, not bad with a stock cooler!!
Trying to decide if I want to screw with water again or just go with a good air cooling setup. I have a MCP-600 and MCP-650 pump, a Dangerden and Weapon heater core both with shrouds and about 10 Sanyo Denki San Ace fans (all from my old setup). I just bought a Apogee GTZ but have yet to even open it.

Tried 185X21 with 1.2125vcore and 1.25625 vcore and it errors out on LinX in about 30minutes. Kept other voltages below the same. Probably getting too hot!!!

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ed

Hi mate,

My apologie for the delayed response....

Nope 4.5GHz HT on stable is the Max capability on Air for linx/priming when its on my table with push and pull config...still the Core temp reaches about 88-92C after an Hour or so

I can also boot in to windows with 4.6GHz and more but temp not suitable for benching.... looks like with water 4.7GHz could become my 24/7 settings... though I dont see any practiacal use of that speed in current applications.

24/7 settings on Air is 4200MHz HT on inside the case reasonable temp after benching... see the pix that will tell you all my settings...
