Today I start overclocking! Have to read up on how to overclock first

Not aiming for extreme OC. 4.2 - 4.4 Ghz at around 1.15 - 1.20v possible?

not sure ure board can do this but set cpu voltage and cpu cache ring voltage manual.
the rest leave it at offset mode.
this way u get the full c-states.
its pretty awesome watching ure proc at idle at 0.00v. lol

Will post up some pics when I get back from overseas, but now I have tested 4 retail CPU's under cold (1 on Asus M6E and the others on MSI MPower)
Have to say the results are really disappointing so far - Haswell will be an okay upgrade from older platforms, but I think I would stick to Ivybridge for now.
Moderate overclocks on air / water should be okay, and the ram clocking definitely much more fun - just a shame about the top speeds.....
1 CPU max 5500 4c/8t, 2 max 5700, best one 5800
Top speed for quick 2d benching only 6g so far - 2 cores at -110 temps
killed any??

Anybody using non K series Haswell?
Reading arround that Intel limit memory to 2133,no gear ratio,etc....
BCLK ratios, mem dividers, are all cut, DISABLED even if they are naturaly supported.
Only advantage is VT-d, Intel® TSX-NI,compared with K series.
no chance to test the gaygay yesterday as the proc i put it kindda sux on voltage/imc everything imaginable. vcore at 1.2v 4.2ghz barely passed.
