safe overclock i7 950 24/7 ! help please !

[brandon888]

i plan to Oc my i7 950 on asus p6t se ? maybe anyone this mobo ? ot just tell me optimal settings for overclock ...

FSB .... ram frequency ..... voltage .... i paln to oc it 24/7 and keep my cpu al least 7-8 years .... is this possiblle on 4.0 ghz ? tell me optimal settings please on 4.0ghz overclock ... and i hope cpu will live 7 year minimum on that clock thank you all ...

Its possible for sure.

Start by lowering your ram divider to take your memory out of the picture and focus on the CPU only, then start ramping up the FSB untill you start having failures/crashes when stress testing at stock voltage. Then start adding voltage and keep raising the FSB till you get the CPU where you want. Also dont forget about the Vtt voltage.

I have had my 930@4.2Ghz for over 2 years now, i would keep below 1.4v if you want a long lifespan.

2 years and 24/7 ? not bad at all .... before i try autovoltage .... fps on 150 and igot 3.8 ghz or something like that .. on autofoltage and 176 or 177 fps i got error when i saW 4.0 GHZ THEN I GOT BLUE SCREEN ... i think it's because of auto voaltage .... so how much voltage set for 4.0 ? you got 1.35 so i have to set like 1.28 ?

should i repeat myself 1000 times ? i don't overclock cpu or gpus .... i shuld write that on my signature i guess .. .that i don't [care about] overcklocking ... why ? because i want so ! and i know why !

Lol did we get you to change your mind?


Shoot for 4.2-4.4Ghz since you have a decent cooler and like Rift said 1.4v and below.
Start out at 1.35v and work your way down testing for stability each tick down.

Like i said dont forget about the QPI/VTT(memory controller) voltage, i was having serious issues until i raised the QPI voltage up, i couldnt get over 3.8Ghz till i started ramping up QPI voltage. Im running 1.35v on both Vcore and QPI/VTT for my overclock.

sorry guys im noob with oc ... as i know any i7 950 can reach 4.0 ghz .... can anyone write all settings when i7 950 is on 4.0 ghz ? i will use it on my bios

if your multiplier is 18 (pretty sure it is), then setting it to 234 should get you to about 4.2ghz. the voltage is up to your processor. luck of the draw.
