btw, I ordered my 920 yesterday and what coolers work for it that are actually in stock ?

The true has a backplate for the 1336 that is out

Alright, system booted. Here's my CPU-Z readings.

So am I good to go? Should I run a stability test?

Actually, I checked (since I already sold my TRUE), They do have the 1366 TRUE in stock at CrazyPC.

The P6T seems to make it easy, doesn't it?

yeah, I dont see anything wrong here

I'm not an intell overclocked myself, but comparing this with other cpu-z screens there dousn't seem to be anything outstanding.
Your ram timings are about 1400 mhz now, but i guess you lowered those.

I think your good to go.

Prime & orthos test for a couple of hours, or a full day if your patient enough for it. Just keep monitoring your temps.

No idea what max temp is for icore7, but i'm guessing having them below 70 won't harm it

Cool. When my TRUE brackets come in, I am going to overclock this puppy.
I hope the Asus Rampage II Extreme is a good board to OC with.

Yes, run the prime 95 for 7 minutes which is more than enough. If everything is fine then you are good to go. If you want to try something worth then go straight to 200 base clock and like i said change only the Vcore to 1.40 the other settings leave all auto, your memory will have an option to run at 1600Mhz do it.

Any update come back here and tell me.

7 Minutes? No.

20 minutes is the testing point/almost there. Stress test for at LEAST 4 hours.

This is not the final overclocking settings, just a quick run.

I wonder what the max safe temp is for the i7, I would guess it would be the same as the 45nm quads, 75 C?
