Hey. I've been doing some more actual in depth research on i7 overclocking to see why the x20 CPU Multiplier doesn't work too well. I have decided on BCLK @ 200*19 for a final speed of 3.8 GHz and Uncore @ x16 and QPI @ x18 and RAM at x8. I tried to clock my CPU up to 210*19 for 4005 MHz, but I got the BSOD code of 124, which according to others on Overclock.net, means turn up the voltage. 1.35 V didn't work and my Xiggy can't take any more heat, sadly. Anyone running water cooling or have a D0 chip have better results?
Here are the links I'm referring to.
