i7 920 overclocking thread

[tibor28]

Overspeed protection on the 920 is limiting further overclock
You have to find the following setting in bios "CPU VR current override" and set it to enabled.
Have fun pushing it!

That is a sexy looking mobo my friend.

Although isn't that voltage slightly too high? I thought anything over 1.3625 was no no for 45nm?

it changed with nehalem intel said the new max is 1.55

edit: i like this turbo mode thing though 3.7 now.


Edit 2: 3.88 now... i'm getting there.

i didn't see this option in the bios

so i called asus and asked them about it. they said that option wasn't supported yet, but they submitted a feature request for that option to improve the overclocking on the p6t-deluxe.

Is the new max voltage 1.55 now for a fact?

that's what the articles i have read so far have said, but i'm not too worried i haven't needed anything over ~ 1.34v anyways.

How good is this motherboard in terms of cooling

I might get this P6T Deluxe only if the standard motherboard cooling is good enough to where I will not need a freaking LCS for the motherboard.

Can you comment on temperatures of the motherboard (include your ambient temp and what your setup is too) please

Oh ok true, I've seen a lot of good overclocks on 1.34v. I was just wondering cuz that would be pretty sweet to see higher stable overclocks.

So, it should be arriving some time this week..

1.55V, seriously? That's pretty good. Should enable over 4GHz on the stock cooler even..

my ambient is 21degrees celcious, and with the stock cooling in my antec 1200 case the northbridge idles at 32-35 degrees celcious, and it loads around 50 degrees. I put an 80mm fan blowing on the north bridge and now it only loads into the low 40's. like i said the current bios doesn't allow you to remove the over current protection, so i would try to find one that does if you aren't buying an extreme.

i doubt it, my chip runs pretty hot. low 60's on load and that's with watercooling at 3.88 Ghz. Before they moved the memory controller onto the chip you were limited by voltage, but now it seems we will be limited my temps again, or maybe i just seated my waterblock wrong, who knows.
