O'cing 950 on X58 FTW3

Forum Overclocking : CPUs O'cing 950 on X58 FTW3

:pt1cable: Hey guys,

First off I'm not a pro overclocker and I don't know everything.

I've started tweaking with my PC and I thinkI have come up with my first low overclock but stable setup. Please tell me what you see could be improved and what looks odd.
I have set the Vcore at 1.2 everything else on AUTO. TURBO is ON running at 24X multiplier (24x158)

This Screen was taken after running for 1 hour. You can see minimums before I started the test with "cold bore PC" and max after an hour of stressing with P95.

Please give comments. I tried vcore at 1.15 but it crashed so I decided to start at 1.2 instead. The vcore was normally at 1.3 on AUTO.

...and I have 1 question: I have three sticks of XMS3s. They were showing at 1067mhz and as I increased the overclock they went up to 1267MHZ. I have understood that these sticks can go up to 1600MHz? did this value really increase? is this a correct interpreation of the data, or is this number giving me a suggested value that I should increase it to?

Also I have just noticed using CPUZ that my timings are not as they should be on the sticks. (7-8-7-20). Please advise on this as well.

As always, thank you all for your help!
