Simple guide To Overclocking An I7 to 4Ghz

Think my cooler could do with a reseat as well, my core 0 is always the highest by 4-5c, good opportunity to wash my TRUE as well, right bugger to clean with a brush and im out of canned air.
 
To be honest core 0 is always the highest hottest one, because it use more usage than the rest of other cores. It was normal.

My 4.20Ghz was core 0: 78C core 1: 77C core 2: 76C core 3: 76C

Here is my 4.20Ghz with max temp of 78C with a single fan of apache at speed of 1324rpm with a megahalems cpu cooler

screenshot here with cpu vcore 1.30 (bios) 1.248v (under loads) qpi vtt 1.24v (bios) and dram 1.54v (bios) and cpu clock drive 700mv and pci express clock drive 700mv and pci express frequency 101 with load line calibration enabled :

Here is my 4.20Ghz all same setting but a difference fan this time with 1 x fan of viper full speed at 1899rpm as max temp is excellent at 74C (drop of 4C from apache to viper) :

I'm going to follow this guide right now, I have had massive problems trying to get a stable clock even at 3.6ghz.

I have the same setup as you near enough.

6gb patriot viper 1600mhz
ud3r rev.2
i7 920 d0
ultra 120 with a push/pull setup with good cooling above and behind in my tj07 so I have no idea what the problem is.

My temps idle are 32c.

ud3r rev.2

Going off custom pc, the UD3R rev2 is a lemon for overclocking. Despire the rev.1 being a beast. Make sure your on the latest bios. Good luck!
 
thanks for the reminder, i will update the bios later, should i stick to the official ones or some of the leaked ones off xtremesystems ud3r thread?

the guide says turn load line calibration off, but i have standard and 2 other settings?

which should i use?

also the uncore frequency option, i'm using x16 iirc which gives me 3400, double my mem and slightly over, this correct?

cheers

quick settings from everest, anything look out the norm?

will run prime in a sec and monitor temps, and then post up a bios template later.

Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition

30 minutes of prime and no errors, first core just hitting 80c every now and then. Should I be worried?

I thought my cooling was good as well. =o

Your idle temps look fine but the vcore looks high for a stock setting, try using cpu-z or hwmonitor to get load and idle vcore readings

80c is not bad as my vcore settings are high for this overclock, try lowering them and test stability

Sorry thats a 4ghz clock, the setting is enabled that drops clock when idle, forgot what its called.
