I'm making a thread for each category in TC that TC Members will contribute optimization tips and tricks too. I will expand the op and reserved posts as data is collected. This thread should be used for asking questions, or contributing optimization tips related to the i7 category only. Off topic posts will be expunged.

Since my i7-970 [TC] has become a problem child I have been trying to get my 2600k rig competitive.
Flower
ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3
Intel Core i7-2600K
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 Memory
XSPC RX360 Radiator w/Push/Pull Fans, EK-Supreme HF High Flow Block, Swiftech MCP655-B Pump
I OC'd to 4.8 GHz and in Window 7 P95 Blend ran for 1 hour and 1 SMP WU completed with no errors.
I then tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 but had install problems. I then switched to Ubuntu 12.04 and had similar problems.
My first conclusion was the OC was the fault. I was correct. I then set the rig to stock and installed the Linux distro that was currently in the DVD drive.
That just happened to be 12.04. I was able to install/update and get my folding and HFM apps installed.
I then was then able to get the OS to boot at 4.7 GHz but not 4.8.
I slowly increased the vcore until I could boot 4.8 GHz but the folding client kept crashing.
Finally this morning I have made some more changes. I was using offset but have now switched to fixed.
This from my current BIOS settings:
This is my first SB.
The folding client running a SMP A3 just hit 80% so I'm going to take a chance that this WU will finished.
Any suggestions? If anyone is running something similar I'd like to known how you reached 4.8 GHz or beyond.

I do not have any suggestions about the OC, since I don't have SB....but you will probably want to go back to an earlier version of Ubuntu, since, as far as I know, no-one has gotten the core hack to work in 12.04 yet...

Have you load line calibration yet? Check CPUz and look at your voltage under load. I need at least 1.4v at load to sustain 4.8ghz. If I only change the voltage in the bios, I only get 1.36v, and I crash, but with load line cal set to 6 (I think Asus and as rock have fine and ultra fine or something) I get a full 1.404v. See this post I wrote on my 4.8ghz OC.

I found that running running a SMP 6901 WU @ 4800 MHz wasn't stable but when I dropped back to 4700 MHz with no other changes my 2600k has worked without any issues.
I'm currently using LLC2, BIOS CPU Voltage shows 1.344v and the CPUZ CPU Voltage is 1.376v.
It's now obvious that if I want to run 4800 MHz I need to increase the CPU voltage up a notch or two.
I cut & pasted this from a BIOS screenshot showing the LLC options for the ASRock P67 E4G3.

Right now there's a big red spot hanging over me and I don't think my current weather conditions will be changing soon.
When the temperatures here drop back below the 100Fs I'll see if I can get back to 4800 MHz with a vcore above 1.4v.
I think I'll make me one those LLC charts.

So now that the big/huge adv units are all gone. What kind of units are i7s getting and what is your TPF?
I am currently running a 6098 WU @ 5:33 TPF. 4.8ghz w/2133 RAM. I have HFM running inside an Ubuntu VM.
How about everyone else.

Hrm, I'm doing slightly worse than that on my native Ubuntu install with 4.9ghz. I'm getting 5:34 TPF on a 6097 WU. I'm going to have to look into that.
