Evga X58 Sli ultimate overclocking/ overview/ discussion thread

[SirKronan]

I'm still waiting on parts to go water, but so far on air this thing is still running extremely well. 4.0GHz on 1.3 volts. Incredible stability and reliability. The D0 in it now most definitely requires less voltage than the C0 I had in it originally. At first it didn't overclock as well, and I was pretty upset, but I followed a couple different guides and finally got it to 4.0 and 4.2 stable. I keep it at 4.0 instead of 4.2 because I took one of the fans off my TRUE, and temps are a wee bit toasty at 4.2. I'll push it some more when I get ready to watercool it.

I just wanted to update people and give newcomers an idea of the longevity potential of this board. So far, mine is doing extremely well and shows no sings of trouble for the near future. Obviously something can break anytime, but so far so good.

This system pulls more from the wall at idle than all the other computers in my house put together, btw.

I recently dumped my water cooling loop and went back to air. Gave SS a shot but something was wrong with it and it couldn't handle the load. Benched it a 4.8ghz 3D and 4.75ghz wprime. This chip runs 1024m wprime at 4.6ghz 1.3v

Some DICE action is coming up and I'll post my results here.
