![]() Typically we end up at 4.1 ~4.2 GHz with the Core i7 980X processor. Inevitably we'll find our maximum frequency or temperatures simply get out of hand.įor our overclock we increased the voltage on the processor and used a Noctua NH D14 heatpipe cooler on it. We now simply increase the multiplier until the system crashes, then increase voltages and start over again. If you want to overclock extensively by hand, first off in the BIOS please disable Speedstep, C1E and TM functions preventing the processor from clocking down or up dynamically based on diverse variables including heat and CPU load. So your Core i7 processor will go beyond spec at default already. In the default configuration it can also apply a multiplier of 26 with Turbo mode enabled. ![]() A baseclock of 133 MHz times a multiplier of 25 is 3.33 GHz. The X58 mainboard applies a dynamic multiplier. Just play around with CPU voltages and the multiplier and even on the stock air cooler you can achieve some pretty snazzy results.įirst up, check what your current values are. Of course, if you have an Extreme Edition processor, things are much easier. After enabling manual overclocking in the BIOS you'll find a 133 MHz register called the Base clock look at that as your 'FSB' to play around with. It's a little weird but the concept remains the same. With the Front Side Bus officially annihilated, things tend to change a little in the overclocking department. ![]()
