Core i7/X58 Overclocking Thread

[donmarkoni]

Can anyone give me a hand helping me get 4.0 stable please.
My cpu is a i7 920 D0 , i have it rock stable at the folowing settings , if i try 20x200 i can only get it stable at 1.294v witch doesnt sound right so mutch more volts for a 200mhz jump . Iam watercooled and temps are ok

What is the problem with 1.294V for vCore? It is low voltage for i7.

Maybe your CPU needs that much vcore? If it does, there's no solution for that. If you want to reduce your vcore a little use the 21x or 19x multi's - i7's hate even multi's.

IMHO, it's a myth that i7's hate even multi's. My rig was perfectly stable @ 200x20, until I upgraded my WC setup and went for 200x21.

Hey , Iam currently testing out new stuff i learned while reading this thread and the P6T Deluxe Thread

Atm running linx 20 loops using All Setting with new changes .

Changed: Vcore from 1.294v to 1.274
Changed: from 20x200 to 21x191
Changed : CPU/IOH Clock Skew settings = Delay 100ps

Atm on 11º loop hope it works :>

Maybe the myth from multi is not so myth afther all tho the change in vcore is quite small to justify it i gess .

EDIT : Why do i get More Gflops on Linx with this new settings then with simply having Vcore higher, shoudnt it go down a litle now that my mem is also not on 1600 but at 1527 ?

Old Settings : 51.6551
New Settings : 53.8365
