I7 overclocking
I7 overclocking
I am just wondering what type of overclock's everyone has been able to achieve with their I7 chips. I am currently testing 3.6 with ht on @ 1.31875 volts. I will provide screenshots when done testing. So far I am at 13 hours small fft's and counting. My max temp so far is 51c.

Re: I7 overclocking
i7 920 @ 3.5 and 1.250v, turbo off

Haven't felt the need to push it any higher, since this is for the cooler testing, figure most wouldn't want run any higher on air 24/7

Re: I7 overclocking
I change mine up all the time depending on what I'm doing at the time. I normally jump between 3.6 and 4.0, 4.2 is only for rare occasions...................XstollieX wrote: Nice is that a 24/7 oc?

Re: I7 overclocking
I'm a little jealous myself with everyone's speeds(Especially Apop's
)I'll be up there soon enough. Once my bank situation is straightened, first thing I'm getting is a new cooler..can't really do much of an overclock when I'm already hitting 70*C or more idle on stock speed/cooler
(according to RealTemp anyway)

Time to buy a real cooler buddy! I'm sure you'll get a good OC out of your chip once you get those temps in check

Re: I7 overclocking
I was playing around with my OC a little before my PSU blew and this is what I ended up getting, I'll go for more after I get the PSU replaced.

Re: I7 overclocking
Well, I hit the big 4 ghz..crazy fast on this thing. My v10 cools like none other but it's either got a huge issue or I missed something. The damn thing keeps beeping at me every 10-15 seconds and I can't find a solution anywhere..on top of that I'm SOL til Monday to talk to Cooler Master about it..It beeps, yet it still works, weird. I probably won't be on the pc much but who knows..I might be searching everywhere online on this disappointing issue
