Does anyone have experience overclocking an i7-970 on a DX58SO board?
Current settings:
BCLK = 155 (Stock)
Ram = 8*155 = 1240 mhz
Rest is stock. Tried upping the cpu voltage to 1,25, but can't get it higher than 160 bclk, and temps rose from around 60c to 80c.
Couldn't find an option to enable the 1600mhz xmp profile in the bios. Tried using the intel utility, found the xmp-profile, but crashes at startup when enabled. Is it even possible to run the ram(corsair vengeance) at 1600mhz with this cpu and mb?
