Thanks NickN - 4.2GHz i7 950

[idahosurge]

Thanks for all of the help Nick!

I got my i7 950 to 4.2GHZ, CPU Voltage-1.30625, QPI/Dram Core Voltage-1.34375, Dram Bus Voltage-1.66, CPU Ratio-21x, BCLK Freq-200, Dram Freq-1603GHz, Memory Timings as suggesed, all other settings exactly as you suggested, either Enabled, Disabled or Auto.

The above ran OCCT for an hour with no errors last night and Prime95 overnight for eight hours with no errors.

Excellent Rod, ..


You did it by the numbers and the temp is right in line. You wont ever see those temps with FSX but you should from time to time run a load check as seasons change and dont forget to clean the tower every so often, including the video card HSF


remember you can still bomb out in FSX even if all CPU/memory stress tests pass.

If that happens, bump the CPU voltage up just a tad and run FSX again. If its still happens then you may need to add a touch of PLL or IOH as I listed.

good luck and enjoy that hardware.
