Well, i got my I7 920 today and i figured we should probably have a 920 overclocking thread. I will try to link helpful articles, and "cheat sheets" i can find. if you find any good ones PM me and i'll post em here.
here's mine so far.
whatever came wiht it lol i have had about an hour with it. i think i know my problem though. my memory is ddr3 1600 @ 1.9v but to keep it under 1.65 i can't go over ddr3 1033

time for new ram i guess.
that is most likely it... mine works perfectly up to 1333...anything higher and it wont even load windows..

i have them at 1080 right now and that's the lowest divider i can get.

I am seriously worried about temps even with my TRUE.
yup, that's with this cpu block i ran occt for about an hour but i don't have time to do much more testing tonight, maybe more tomorow. this board has so many options i don't even know what they all do. I can't wait to get a 4870X2 though.
one really weird thing is that i can run any stress testing program for a long time, and any benchmark with no problems except for super pi... it crashes when i try to run it. i haven't even done any windows updates yet so i'm gona take it easy till i get all my programs installed and running.

There should be an option to turn this OFF on the P6T deluxe. Have you tried to find that setting. The OC on the 920 are restricted until you unlock it. BTW 3.5ghz, not bad for first try on a whole new system.
hopefully by sometime tomorrow I can let you all know how I am coming along with my 920 overclock. Yet I will have almost an identical setup as the OP - the watercooling.
i didn't see this option in the bios http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...4&postcount=93
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.

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.
