Over clocking i7 975

[CHECKUP]

What is your experience in OC'ing this chip
I have it at 4.113 , 1.30 volts(auto) and water cooled it's temp at idle 39 and 100% load 68 degrees.
to get 4.26 volts goes to 1.38 and temps are 70 degrees
4.4 is possible but volts go to 1.4 to 1.42 not worth the increase
i just adjust the multiplier from 31X133=4.113(auto setting for volts) to 32X133=4.26, 33X133=4.4 .
just would like to know if this is a poor performance chip or about avg for a 975

4.1 ghz is a good overclock. Nothing wrong with that.

However you could easily increase your clock speeds by increasing the FSB speed. Most GOOD motherboards can go around 200 Mhz FSB or higher.

For example 200 mhz FSB X 21 multiper = 4.2 Ghz.
The tolerance of your chip and mobo may vary.
You'll have to play around with some manual settings to get the most out of that setup.
Auto settings will only get you so far.
