Core i7 980X Overclocking And Feedback

Having not really dealt to much with i7's, especially in clocking above 4ghz *pretty darn easy*

Whats a safe voltage and temperature on these?
I'm currently at 4.16 @ 1.26v, haven't played around too much more yet, slowly testing dropping the voltages here still, see how low I can get it, already thinking about dropping another 120mm fan and do push/pull on this Xig. Blader.

*BTW I love this cooler, it's silent and works wonders, the finish on it was beautiful and it doesn't cost much, also comes with rubber fan pins for 2 fans*

Anyone ran WCG on these yet? hehe..
 
Here are some WPrime 1024 runs, my ram maxed out at 1800MHz so I dropped it down a notch and tightened it up for a little higher clock speed.

At this point the little MCR220 rad is done and will be replaced next week.

i get mine thursday :eek:
 
so does these cpus come in diffrent steppings ?

and has anyone used the stock cooler :p
 
IIRC, just the ES and retail steppings. I've heard good things about the stock cooler, especially for stock/low OC's.

I was thinking about modding my stock cooler to use on the QX when I finally get the 980 rig going.

I'm saving my cooler for an upcoming i5 micro build...thinking it will do nicely @ 4.5GHz with the 670. :)

I'll snag one on ebay or something.

And I just got paid today. I'll know after I figure out my bills if I have enough to get some ram.
 
guys great overclocking work, but no one put some wprime or super pi test

Scroll up to post #54 Hayder...:) Havent tried it, but SPI would seem to be a waste of time with these chips. WPrime is very nice tho. ;)

I am still testing on water and have not gone above 1.55 vcore or 1.37 vtt. That has gotten me to almost 5GHz so far. I only bench with this chip...for 24/7 use you would not need anywhere near those volts, even for 4.5GHz.
