| Re: i7 Overclocking for Beginners Excellent thread and really useful - I've made it a sticky so that it gets the profile it deserves. Is YOUR system up to Folding? Useful Information about HEXUS There are 10 types of people who understand binary - those that do... and those that don't. |

| Re: i7 Overclocking for Beginners OiD, next time you happen to take a peak at the BIOS for your CPU, can you please see if the multipier is 20? If Intel works it the same way as they did the Core 2s, you'll find that your multipler will be higher and the base clock will still be 133MHz. I just wanna check this before I ammend the guide to reflect this.
