Did take me a while to find out how to oc the i7 architechture, coming from core2. Once I got hang of qpi and pll importnace my voltage could be reduced from 1.35 to 1.2v. I'ts mounted on a MSI X598M board together with 6 Mushkin 1600MHz sticks. Board does 225 BCLK with mem slots fully occupied, very nice board for that price! Gonna drop a better cooler on it and se what we can do. Is there any need for lapping the i7 cpus? My old q9300 dropped 8c when giving it a overhaul with 1200 paper...
Plz post the changes that u made to drop vcore. I would also like to know.
