Official OC3D Core i7 Overclocking thread

Having trouble getting a higher clock than this stable, so for the moment this is what I'm running :

still a good overclock

 

[Daewin]

Yeah, I've managed to get mine to post at 5.4ghz, and get into windows and run Cinebench @4.9 but for stable and somewhat low voltages, I am gonna stick at 1.35, @4.5Ghz.

Using offset mode so it's hovering around 0.86 at idle.

This is the highest I'm daring to go on the Vcore, don't wanna fry my chip

Sup guys, just wondering how long to leave prime95 running when testing overclock, how many tests shud be done so i know my rig is stable? I chose the blend test and its done 8 tests so far

 

[Stevo]

8 hours I would call perfectly stable for a normal user, 8 tests appear due to 1 test per thread judging on you having a quad core with hyperthreading. (4 cores, 8 threads)

How do I get that CPU-Z validator banner? I managed to run prime95 for 1 hour on my i7-2600k at 5.65GHz @1.56v and temps hovering around 85 celsius with my H100 set to high. For some reason I haven't managed to achieve that OC anymore though, my CPU won't go past 5.4GHz now :/

To get the banner you run CPU-Z and click validate if I remember correctly, but seriously, I hope you're not planning on using the overclock for 24/7 use haha.

LOL hell no, it was just for benching. I did get in the top 5 results for my hardware in 3dmark though, so that was nice

managed to push my 6970s to 1095 core and 1745 mem @ 1,325v for 24/7 I have my 2600k at 4.7GHz@1.38v and the cards at 975/1500 @1,212

Awesome clocks man, just wanted to check haha

With Ivybridge being a bit of a let down, I'm trying to push my i7 920. What do you guys deem as a max safe Vcore for the i7 920? I'm running 21x191BLK atm @4009 Ghz. Temps are 67 degrees with the Noctua, so they're fine. I've switched off Hyperthreading as I just use the rig as a games machine. My CPU is C0 stepping, so does require a bit more juice than the D0 stepping models.

 

[The Scientific Moustache]

my first ever overclock.

54C on p95

Suicide run for 1M score - stable for pi (just about)

1.6 v core, JEEEZZZUUUUUSSSS

 

[The Scientific Moustache]

I have got stable 4.0Ghz on my 3930k with 1.24v

my 990x @4.6GHZ stable
