oooh

good work
could probably get the vcore down a lot
the ones i have done at work have all been around 1.3v for 4.2ghz

in general the MY-203-CS memory can go very tight, you need to put a lot through the imc though, not sure if this would be sustainable for a long period of time

could you please post some cinebench results please

and congrats

Nice one reygjabla, looks like some very solid kit you have there!

Stress Testing tomorrow.

Look forward to your results! . . . take your time and don't let the forum dogs hound you too much!

Good luck!

Looking good These new i3 and i5's seem to be pretty good clockers indeed and run nice and cool!

Thanks. Actually, i'm not quite sure as to the voltage setting as the bios is quite different. I'll put a scrennie later on, when i'm back from work, so maybe others can help me figure out the approximate voltages. Lot's of new terms in there.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone. This build is for a friend and others are coming in as well. So, maybe I should start charging them. I would'nt mind if OCUK gives me a representation allowance though.
