Overclocking Core i7 at Intel 2008
 

While we were struggling to go that extra mile for reaching those world record results, the others were starting to catch up to us. The Sampsa and SF3D had switched motherboard to ASUS P6T just to realize that it was the CPU that was the culprit. They switched back to the Formula II Extreme and later tried a new processor, Core i7 940, that worked better. It was unlocked and had an older stepping that seemed to provide better peak frequencies overall. They could now move past the measly 4.4GHz and start pushing up the frequency.
