Hi,
I found your post about overclocking your P8Z68-V Pro with an i7 2600K and I was wondering if you'd be willing to share your settings with me? I've tried a lot of different setups and read a lot of info but I just can't seem to get it right. Could you take pity on a poor noob and help me out?
Thank you!!!
This is my setup if it helps:
i7 2600K
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro
GSkill Ripjaw 16gig 1600MHz
Nvidia 580 Superclocked
OCZ Vertex 3 Solid State boot drive 120gig
Hitachi 3 TB Storage (2)
Windows 7 Pro

welcome to OCN buddy, it would be better if you fill in your system spec here and it would be viewable by everyone everywhere on the forum, once filled in you wont have to do it again 
Here: http://www.overclock.net/specs.php
If you in need of some assitance in overclocking, first head over to the Sandy Stable Club, link is in my sig below and read the first post, it should have a few guides and my very own simplified version.
