i7 Current clock...

[rexehuk]

Hey all, seen a lot of i7 clocking threads on here the past few days, so naturally I was inspired to clock mine!

I have been running 3.4 for some time without problems and pushed up to 185 x 21 today for the first time running stable at 1.2v.

I notice this is very low in terms of voltage compared to some other peoples results, question is do you think I can go higher?

Max load was 78c on core 1 75/75/74 on the other 3 cores. Do you think I have the headroom to push maybe 4.2?

Cooling is provided by a Noctua NH-U12P in push/pull config.

Cheers for the replies

1.2V is a high voltage for 3.4ghz. I'm surprised you needed any increase over vid (default voltage) for that.

I didn't need any voltage change for 3.4ghz stable on my chip. 1.2V was for 3.88! Even then I just set it to 1.2 and it was stable, might go even lower.
