Thanks for the guide

But
1- some "D0s" are worse than "C0s"

2- Not all D0's can reach 4GHz

great guide i got my new chip a few days ago and this guide made it a little easier getting it to 4.0 GHz.
EDIT:forgot + rep

Ok, I'll edit the guide to say that since I know the first is true, I hadn't heard that about the second but I'll add it's just more likely but nothing is a guaranty.

You know what, this guide is turning out to be great. The only way this can get better is with some pictures. The only way that can get better is with some pics of naked ladies, but then again pics of naked ladies & overclocking might be too much for some nerds to handle.

THANKS A LOT CHADAMIR!!!!!!

i got my chip to 4Ghz easy after reading and printing out this. I was able to take my Vcore down to 1.28 in CPU from 1.32 before at 4ghz

Very well thought out, organized, and comprehensive guide chadamir.

Excellent!

Just like with E0 and C0 E8XX's, D0 i7's are much more likely to overclock higher at lower volts than C0's. But that is not absolute. Just as there are some C0 E8400's that can go sky high, there are some C0 920's that can too.

My C0 920 will blast most D0's (check sig), but the volts it needs to do so would make you wake up sweaty and scared.

One anecdote for you. Code 124 can sometimes mean too much voltage instead of too little. Many times it helps me to back off on the VTT.

Thanks I've definitely had too much qpi/uncore and had that error. I mentioned decreasing it but I definitely should add some more detail on that.

is it necesary to mess with the voltage if i'm not worrying about power consumption at the moment? Will it effect stability or anything?

chavez885

I see a few butthurt C0 owners...amazing.

Nice guide bro, I will play with my settings this weekend as I'm having trouble getting the system to boot into windows with 8x memory multi (1500ish mhz).
