Hi, These are the settings I used to get a stable 4.0GHz -
cpu freq - 4.00ghz (211x19)
turbo boost tech - disabled
cpu multi threading - enabled
uncore freq - (x13) 2743mhz
performance enhance - standard
mem multi - 6.0/1266
cpu vcore - 1.3125
qpi/vtt - 1.32
ioh core - auto
dram volt 1.64
I have a few things the same so should not be much difference. I could probably tweek a few settings/lower them abit but my temps don't go over 70c full load so...
Good luck, let us know how you get on!

chris west · 20 Sep 2009 at 21:27

To be honest, with my i7, even at baseclock WoW takes up a maximum of 30% CPU power...

WoW just isn't an intensive game for current technology anymore. For a start it was written for single core machines and you actually need to tell it that it can use more cores in the config.wtf file.

If all you're worried about is WoW, then I wouldn't worry about burnout too much.

need to tell it that it can use more cores in the config.wtf file.?? WOW how pray tell

id be a happy bunneh if u show me
