Re: Problems Overclocking With Ex-58 Extreme

hi i found this forum and thread whilst looking for setting's to get a core i7 920 above 4.0ghz with the gigabyte ex58 extreme mobo.

here's my spec's and i'll post setting's after it:

MOBO: GIGABYTE EX58 EXTREME

CPU: CORE I7 920

RAM: PATRIOT VIPER 6GB

GPU: BFG GTX280

PSU: COOLERMASTER MODULAR 1000W

HDD'S: 1X WD VELOCIRAPTOR 320GB 1X SAMSUNG SPINPOINT F1 1TB 2X SAMSUNG SPINPOINT F3 1TB

CASE: COOLERMASTER COSMOS "S" SPORT MODDED.

COOLING: 3X XSPC RESOVOIR/PUMP COMBINED, XSPC DELTA V3, DANGER DEN TITAN GTX WATERBLOCK, AND THE NORTHBRIDGE WATERCOOLED, 1X TRIPLE RAD FOR CPU, 1X DUAL RAD FOR NORTHBRIDGE, 1X SINGLE RAD FOR GTX280.

my setting's are every voltage is on auto except for the cpu and qpi which are at this:

CPU: 1.3250V
QPI: 1.33V OR 1.355V
BLCK: 200
MULTI: 20
HYPERTHREADING ENABLED

temps are at:

IDLE
NB: 32C
CPU: 25C
CORE 1: 35C
CORE 2: 36C
CORE 3: 32C
CORE 4: 33C
GPU: 40C

LOAD
NB: 40C
CPU: 35C
CORE 1: 65C
CORE 2: 66C
CORE 3: 60C
CORE 4: 63C
GPU: 55C

i've found that if i add more voltage it becomes unstable, and if i use less it becomes unstable at the current setting's it stays prime stable for 8 hours+.

hope this might help.
