***The Official Core i7 Overclocking Thread***

Where's Easyrider when you need him

Anyway, keep the results in here please. I'm particularly interested in seeing things like maximum stable overclocks using OCCT or Prime, idle/load temps and idle/load power measurements when running OCCT or Prime. Also intested in max stable "FSB" acheivable and on what board it was done.

Pretty sure Gray Mole stopped making them a couple years back as he emigrated to another country. Go over to the BenchtecUK forums there's a few guys on there that still build units as far as I'm aware.

It's also worth noting that the i7 920 only officially supports RAM at upto 1333MHz, so it probably isn't just a case of whacking it to the right voltage and timings for the RAM and expecting it to work.

I finally managed to get 4.2 Ghz stable, but darn the temperature ...

One of your cores has errored out there.

Holy cow that's one big compressor and condensor, what's it tuned for?
