Well I decided to upgrade my main rig and pass down the i7 950 to the wife. So here's the details...

ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe Gen 3
i7 2700k
8gigs Corsair XMS3 2000mhz @ 9 CAS Latency
OCZ Agility 3 240gig
Sapphire HD7970 3gb
Corsair H100 Just pulling at the moment, on medium speed.
Antec 1200
Zalman 850HP Powa!

So far here is what I'm sitting at, 4.5ghz 1.35vcore. I'm not sure what is the norm for these chips, but a quick google provided 1.35-1.4 handles usually around 4.8ghz with these chips. I think I can probably squeeze 4.6ghz out with current volts. Let me know what yall think!

I may have zoned in on my perma settings here, gonna let her stress for a good while. Had alittle fun while I was at it with Vantage.

4.8ghz Offset of .045 cumulative of 1.39vcore
LLC - Ultra High
VRM - Extreme
DRAM - 1600mhz atm, gonna tweak around once she's solid
C1E, C3, C6 - Disabled
Speedstep - Disabled
Turbo Mode - Disabled

the speed looks great but the temps and vcore to get there is to high for my taste. i'd rather drop it back down to 4.5ghz and lower temps to 60c under load.
on the bright side your room has a great heater for winter

love your video card, think i need one of those.

Are your sure you need 1.35 for 4.5 since you only need 1.39 for 4.8?
seems sorta weird....

Only problem I see is you are not stress testing the cpu properly =P. Go download linx with the avx pack and you will find out what stress testing is really about.

Your fine with prime 95
LinX is bad for your cpu anyway, doing long runs can cause degradation.

I've been overclocking for years, I know the proper stress testing, thanks anyway though. Temp wise she's fine, I have my H100 on pull only and on medium speed atm.

I'm not done playing with volts, the idea is to get it stable and then notch it down until it turns unstable. ATM the CPU is picking it's voltage(I can't figure out how to set it manually), and then the offset is what I'm playing with. I just haven't dug around on the BIOS much, it's pretty much "CLICK HERE" though lol

Voltage wise these chips will handle 1.425 safely according to Intel so long as you have the cooling for it. The chips you have to worry about are below the 2600's which are recommended to 1.35 I believe.

I would be happy with 4,8 with HT at those volts/temps !

I decided to see what she would do, looks like 55 multiplier is doable with proper cooling. Booted her into Windows and took a shot, of course this is with 2cores/2threads to keep heat down.

K but knock it back to 1.4 now. well > 1.5 like that is nobody's friend. Not worth even checking IMO.

Nice overclock with HT
