Hey everyone.
I hope things are going well.
I just finished a pretty long overclock session and got my Core i7 950(3.06) up to 4.25.
I feel like I'm over volting the p*ss out of it but it just won't get stable without some pretty high numbers in volts.
Temperature not really an issue. Only just breaking 80c at max load.
Clock 23x185 = 4.25
V core = 1.575 volts (this seems really high to me)
RIMM = 1.68 volts

Love some feedback.

What are you using for cooling?
Nice, looks like we have another entry in the 4GHz club. :D

That is WAYYY overvolted. What are the other voltages at? What cooler?
i was told not to go above 1.45v on an i7 (for every day use)... I got a 950 up to 4.12 on 1.45, lemmie see if i can find the CPUZ
edit: found it :D
Guess im in too.
Only other thing I brought past stock was the DRAM which is 1.7.Quote:

Water....It's pretty beefy. 1/2 inch tubing, DD 2x 120mm Rad.Quote:

1.375V is the maximum recommended voltage for i7 900 chips. You might want to be careful with that as i7s are very sensitive to additional voltage. I definitely wouldn't go any higher for normal usage.
