Overclocking the i7

Overclocking...what is overclocking?

for u who confuse about over clocking, overclocking is:
"Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer, usually practiced by personal computer enthusiasts seeking an increase in the performance of their computers. " from wikipedia

maybe later, i'll post an Overclocking Guide

now, here is time to play with i7

as u know, i7 based clock is 2,66 GHZ with default vcore 1,25, here is 3D Mark Vantage score in default setting:
Procie clock : 2,66ghz
vcore : 1,25 V
Mem Clock : 1600 cl9
VDimm : 1,65 V
Mobo : Asus P6T
VGA : Albatron GeForce 9800GX2 default setting
and the score is : P13181


1st test is to get at 3,6GHZ or about 1GHZ from default clock. with settings:
Procie clock : 3,6ghz
Multiplier: 20
BLCK : 180
vcore : 1,4 V
QPI : 1,39V
IOH : 1,36V
PLL : 1,86V
Mem Clock : 1600 cl9
DimmCore : 1,65 V
Mobo : Asus P6T
VGA : Albatron GeForce 9800GX2 default setting
and the score is : P13357


and last, i ty to overclock it at 4ghz without changing the VCORE, and it' work stable ^^
Procie clock : 4ghz
Multiplier: 20
BLCK : 200
vcore : 1,4 V
QPI : 1,45V
IOH : 1,36V
PLL : 1,9V
Mem Clock : 1600 cl9
DimmCore : 1,65 V
Mobo : Asus P6T
VGA : Albatron GeForce 9800GX2 default setting
and the score is : P1343o


so, who p6T motherboard really can do a nice overclocking, and stable for daily.. i decided to go for 4,2GHZ...but i haven't found the optimal settings, so later i'll post it

and here is my overclocking rig:
