Not bad man. Wonder what voltage is needed for a cool 3600mhz.

Ok starting my overclocking journey.
This is what i've done so far...
I've tried to find the highest bclk.
i've hit a wall at 200...
I lowered all the multipliers to the lowest (CPU multi to 15) then just raised the blck.
I can't get to 210 or 205. Since i'm on stock cooling, I can't keep piling on the voltages.
So i'm at 3ghz (15X200) 1.216 vcore on CPUZ.
The one bad thing I've found about this is you can't adjust the uncore multiplier. The QPI multiplier only have X32 and X36 choices.

you need a better cooling if you want to push beyond 3ghz.

With a Core i7 maybe.
I am now running at 19X200 = 3800mhz.
75 degrees underload P95 for a few minutes.
Windows 7 is really ****ing the **** out of me. It is really sensitive in overclocks.
I can do 19X200 alright but when i try 20X200 it always BSODs.
I know it's no the QPI problem because i'm only raising the multiplier of the CPU. So I guess I don't have enough vcore. I'll report back later..

loosen your memory timings.. that might help..

Ok i got what a wanted... 4ghz!!
I raised the vcore to 1.35 in the BIOS and finally got windows 7 to boot. Not stable obviously.
I reckon this CPU is MUCH more harder to OC than the 870. Enthusiasts jump onto 920 or lynnfield core i7s. More "less enthusiastic" users jump onto i5.

I believe that CPU has Turboboost. Did you turn it off? That may negatively impact overclocks that are near the edge for less threaded applications.

Nice Overclock.... I'm jealous.
Can I add something off topic a little?...I especially liked how you "unpinned" IE from the quick launch bar.
