Hi everyone,
I've had an i7 920 d0 stable at 3.8ghz (HT on) for over three years and seeing as i've just got a good SSD, i've got the itch to optimize my PC as I'm resisting the urge to upgrade to Haswell since the gains are only minimal with gaming. Getting more speed out of my current chip would help soothe the upgrade itch
It'll boot at 4ghz with HT off and 4.2ghz too from what I recall, but the latter requires a substantial vcore boost. Both will eventually BSOD with Prime.
I don't care about HT to be honest since I'm only gaming anyway (with very occasional video converting), so any help in getting to 4ghz or 4.2 preferably (without HT) would be greatly appreciated. I'd be lucky to see 60c under full load @ 3.8 in Prime. My mobo is a Rampage II Extreme.
Here's a screen dump of my voltages and what not: (please note I could probably lower the vcore at 3.8 since I didn't extensively test it with every increment) Clock skews are at 100ps
Thanks guys!
