my i7 920 begs to differ on that thought. OC is never that straight forward while it might work, I highly doubt it would be stable under prime95 and many other stress test, and Emulation with pcsx2 is stress test in it self.
I had 3.2 ghz OC and I had to mess with voltages to stop prime95 from BSOD and can coming back with ram errors. That never stoped Pcsx2 from randomly BSOD on me though rare, Then came along Swtor which bsod my system frequently with just 3.2ghz oc turn the OC off all bsod stop.
Special on X58 based system then again my issue may have something to do with the bent pins on my mb which might explain why 5 out 6 ram sets i tried in my system all lost ram at random, my issues aside OC is never that straight forward and bad advice to tell any that is is.
side thought in VP2 in the forests that dont show correct I used software mode with 6 thread and it ran the forest at 60fps other wise it was at 45fps or lower, i sure other thread counts would work too.
