i7 920 DO UD5 6gb Dominator 1600 Enermax Galaxy 850 Bios is just stock/defaults - not sure if that's useful to someone who already uses it?

Ah, so near and yet so far

Yeah. I could probably get a little higher oc on a Biostar P45/Gigabyte EP45-UD3P, or Asus/DFI X48 even, from what I read. Probably wont upgrade for another year though , so started oc'ing this beast a few months ago. Clock skew reduces bench performances slightly, so trying to avoid it. Not finished yet though. May well need it before finalised. Could see more bluescreens yet. Good to hear I'm not off track though. Adds confidence.

Well, most of today was spent still trying for a 4.9ghz OCCT run. But the point of diminishing returns comes into play here me thinks, too much Vcore and too much heat to make it anywhere near worthwhile I shouldn't be surprised really, because 4.8/4.9 is about the limit of stable 3d benching as well. I suppose i could try it with HT off, just to see how far it could go
