Hi all...I'm new here and would greatly appreciate some advice on my overclock...
Got these parts from my brother who upgraded...so got a heck of a deal...Just had to buy a case...

Case: Antec Nine Hundred Two

Parts:
i7 920 2.66Ghz Quad Core
EVGA X58 3X SLi Motherboard
EVGA GTX 295 Video Card
OCZ ZT 750W PSU
12GB Corsair Dominator (6 X 2GB) DDR3 1600 Triple Channel

Attached are pictures of my voltages for my overclock to 3.65Ghz - Stable with Prime Test
Can't go any higher than 3.65Ghz with current voltages.

1. Would like to know if any of my voltages are too high or are they fine.
2. Would like to know what voltages to change to go higher. (3.8 maybe 4.0)

CPU VCore: 1.28125V
CPU VTT Voltage: +100mV
CPU PLL VCore: 1.800V
DIMM Voltage 1.500V
DIMM DQ Vref +0mV
IOH VCore 1.100V
IOH/ICH I/O Voltage 1.500V
ICH VCore: 1.100V
PWM Freq: 800KHz

The CPU Vcore is quite low, you have lots of headroom. I'd say go to 1.3 volts and incrementally increase the CPU clock ratio. Most i7 920 chips should be fine till 4.0 GHz which is when you should really start doing long Prime 95 tests or a few Intel Burn tests.

I wouldn't go too far on the bclk because that would start OCing your RAM too.


Also, I would definitely recommend upgrading your graphics card if you game.. it's very old. I would say upgrade to a GTX 570/580 or GTX 670. Or if you can find one cheap enough, a 7950 and clock it to hell and back.

sounds like the board is limiting you or the chip itself :/ never seen a 920 with a hard time getting to 4.0 though.
try turning up just vcore and leaving blk at what you had it at before, turn multi up a tad.
