Hi guys!

I managed to get my i7 920 to 4.3GHz (215x20), but it was just stable for 9 hours in Prime95 with small FFTs.

Load temps with my watercooling:
1: 76-77c
2: 76-77c
3: 76-77c
4: 73c

What should i tweak next? Im kinda a nub so i dont really know what to change and when to change it.

CPU + 0.240 gives 1.38 volts
VTT 1.38 gives 1.344 volts
PLL Auto
Dram 1.66 gives 1.648 volts
NB Auto
SB Auto
QPI 1.25

If your stable with those volts i really would just leave it alone now tweaking for the sake tweaaking will end in tears and headace...enjoy your rig now.

I wouldnt say its stable when it fails after 9 hours, hehe

Ah you didt say it failed...anway you can chase stabilty all year long is 6,8,12, 24 hours when is enough enough? I am very happy with a 8 hour prime stable rig...maybe do some linx 20 passes or so...then do a day of gaming it passes those i would consider is stable regardless if fails a 9 hour prime etc
