undervolt went well using intel burn test on default settings 5 passes max cores got was 82c, going to try for around 1.2v now

btw what effect does hyper threading have if any when overclocking ?

Well HT is supposed to make your CPU warmer , so disabling can make your CPU cooler when overclocking. In my case , disabling HT doesn't have any effect

What does TIM means ?

Thermal Interface material ie. MX-2.

overclock is not stable?

Flashed the newest BIOS yet? I'm currently running with the F8B bios and my overclocks are rock solid.

for the latest BIOS go to:

how does the GB like to be flashed?

Also known as:
Thermal goop
Thermal paste
Toothpaste
Sticky mess
The stuff that always gets my fingers dirty, just like cases always cut them even if they aren't sharp.

My GB flashes like a dream. SD card with BIOS file in the card reader (or USB stick, whatever you prefer), press END at startup and flash it.

I made a 100 MB FAT32 partition on my hard disk. So I can flash my BIOS with q-flash without needing an USB stick

Fitseries3 · Jun 1, 2009

got it.

wow

tons of bios options.

the voltage and memory menus are insane on the ud5.

Wetbehindtheears · Jun 1, 2009

Can't wait to try my setup out....

UD5 and D0 have arrived....

....now just waiting for RAM! :banghead:

mudkip · Jun 1, 2009

I love low voltages

current tweaking for even lower vcore

sorry for the large pic btw

I'm going to sleep. See ya guys

Can you throw up some temps at load/idle with that voltage? :toast:

Fitseries3 · Jun 2, 2009

i dont get it....

Fitseries3 · Jun 2, 2009

non physx...

Chicken Patty · Jun 2, 2009

what don't you get FIT?

Fitseries3 · Jun 2, 2009

ALL STOCK

but yet

30k?

thats at least 4k higher than any other setup of mine has had at stock with the same parts.

If you guys join the Core i7 Overclockers club we can help establish a database so new time i7 users can get quick information on what to expect of an overclock. Since I guess this thread has millions of duplicate questions as it's nearly impossible to find what you're looking for

why don't you get out of your doubts and raise up the clocks

compare the score at higher clocks with previous runs at higher clocks. That does seem impressive for stock, WOW!

Fitseries3 · Jun 2, 2009

still trying to manage the temps. more info in my build thread.

My chip likes to be warm.

About 40 -42 degrees idle and 60 degrees load. Even with this low vcore :cry:

your i7 is still bottlenecking. OC it to 4Ghz !

Anyone running HPET on with their overclocks. I have noticed very little difference with it on or off, maybe I am missing something.
