** OFFICIAL ** Core i5 Overclocking Results/Tips Thread

Has anyone else found 21x to be a complete PITA?

I wish I had a 21x multiplier. The highest multiplier my motherboard reaches is 20x. BTW, wat vtt, pll, and pch voltages are you using batmang?

The highest I got is 4.35ghz (200x217) with 1.36 vtt, 1.80 pll, and 1.05 pch. I need help getting it to 4.4ghz.

Ugh bummer, no 21 at all for you?
I don't recall the exact vtt, but it was around 1.4vtt if I'm not mistaken. As for PLL, 1.8v, and for PCH 1.15v.

Could somebody please post some voltage settings that I could use as a base for overclocking my core I5 760 with a maximus III Gene please?

Is there anyone with 8GB ram that has overclocked their i5 to 4GHz? My Maximus III Formula has been playing silly beggars all day after I fitted another two ram sticks in.

Finally got onto Windows and am at the desktop at 3.6GHz with 1.2vcore and 1.27VTT... hopefully no detrimental effects in the long run with that sort of VTT. 4GHz required 1.19VTT with 4GB ram in comparison.

Yes, but I'm using a Gigabyte P55-UD3R motherboard with 4GB of G. Skill RAM and 4GB of Corsair XMS RAM (both DDR3 1600).

Wow... 1.23 vcore? Lowest I've seen for a 4GHz overclock, what's your VTT at those settings? Thanks.

I have it set at 1.19.....I built the system back in November and it's been running great ever since. I'm still using an early beta bios for the Gigabyte MB too (why change what's working I always say).
