Yeah I didn't pay attention to his temps, my bad. I just made sure he had passed the test with 2500 size, 20 runs and H/T on. Will remove his i7 970 submission from the list.
 
Sprit0r, please rerun the stability test showing your temps during the stress testing.

Here it is ! With a bit higher BCLK in order to reach 4.3Ghz and a bit less Cpu Core Voltage.

That is the version I used.  Downloaded everything from your links in the first post just before running it.  I did not stop any of my background tasks and have 24G of memory as this is my main rig and I wanted to see what it would do.  Been Folding -bigadv and all three GTX 580s at this OC with no problem, too.  I figure Norton Internet Security, Roboform, Precision, and AIDA64 running at the same time probably took a bit out of the GFlops.
 
I will rerun after the end of the month.  Currently competing in the Summer Folding Showdown!
 
 

hey guys im trying to get this 4.2 stable thing and i keep getting the 124 bsod and im at a lose here. ive tried changing the vtt & vcore and cant seem to get it to stop. can some one please take a look at my templet and point me in the right direction. please

QPI Frequency Selection ( 6.400 GT/s )

That's it. Set it to 4.8. You see, it is really a multiplier despite what your BIOS implys. It is 4.8 @ stock Bclock, meaning when you set it to 4.8 now it will actually be 6.93 at your Bclock.
 
Also, I don't see "turbo performance" on there, you don't have that enabled do you? GL.

i changed qpi frequency 4.8 and tested with linX 38 seconds in linX and i get the 124 bsod. system is stable in all apps and games just bsod in linX and that needs fixing so i can get this behind me. thank you again for your help

can someone answer this for me why in gods name did i have to redo my OC when i got my replacement PSU i was getting 0A bsods left and right ran linx it failed of course.   3 days later after many set backs i got stable again but this time 1.4 Vcore +200VTT 1.63  DimmV 1.2 IOH 1.15 ICH thats it touched nothing else and its 20 passes 25000 problem size linx stable.  Before i had 1.3875 Vcore and 1.325 QPI PLL along with those other voltages to be stable.   I know a CPU can degrade but its only been a month and it was only OCed for like 2 weeks because of the PSU issue.   Is my power supply not supplying enough volts to my CPU or something?  

higher PWM?  and by interference you mean its stopping a voltage or making it fluctuate?

try 2t

i tried 2t and now im getting the 101 bsod,
 

Well that didnt last very long!!
I have just been messing about with it for the past hour and a half and I have managed this result:

Core i7 920 D0 Batch 3850A796
CPU clocked at: 4.42GHz
Voltage: 1.399vcore  
Idle temps: 39, 38, 35, 37 
Load temps: 79, 80, 73, 76
GFlop peak: 57.1765

 
If I'm missing something please let me know :)  I'm going to try and see if I can go higher, but it was getting a little difficult earlier on!!  I must be tired!! :(
 
Please give any tips as I'd greatfully recieve them for advice!  Thanks again :)

Stratch that...  I've managed it :)

Load temps: 88, 89, 82, 86

Please ignore my previous attempt.  This has taken me two days of tweaking the voltages and getting everything balanced properly.  I'm very pleased with the result..  I hope that my result does count for a place in amoungst everyone in the thread.

( normaly temp's are 70c-75c under 100% load folding or Prime95) 
this is my son of 14 week's overclocking. just like daddy

Hi there i am new to this overclocking world and i have no clue where to start. i am running of course a x58 sli3 motherboard and the specs. are.
i7 950 pro.
8 gb ram
gtx460se
OS win7
do you guys have any advice that you can tell me.
would like to get the oc to 4ghz. and thanks for reading this!

Hello and welcome to the forums! If you take a look at this link http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=235 you'll find all the information you'll need to overclock your CPU to your liking.
 
What CPU cooler do you have? This is very important if you want to overclock successfully.
