Thread Starter 
Processor: Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz (Six-Core)
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme X79 (Intel X79 Chipset) (Features USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s)
System Memory: 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair 667Mhz [CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9] 4 x 4096MB
Power Supply: 850W Corsair TX850 V2
Hard Drive: 120GB Solid State (By: Corsair) (Model: Force GT Series CSSD-F120GBGT-BK) (SATA 6Gbps)
Video Card(s): 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 3GB
Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio
Cooling: Corsair H100 Liquid CPU Cooler (240mm Radiator)
OS: Windows 7 64bit

I am running the Asus Bios 3101 and can run stable at the lowest default settings but this only runs my CPU at 3.8GHZ and memory at 1333Mhz. I am interest in others who have OC'd either this or a similar configuration with the Asus Rampage IV Extreme. Thanks so much

you should be able to hit between 4.2-4.4 on 1.375v since you have good cooling

Thanks DizZz,
One thing that has been tough is understanding what should be enabled or disabled before overclocking in the BIOS settings. I have heard all spread spectrum settings should be disabled and wondering what else. Are there any good guides that you recommend? Thanks again.
