how to overclock i7 920

This should help. http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/...ng-thread.html

Putting everything to auto will make the voltages needlessly higher than they need to be.

ok so what am i supposed to do if i set everything to auto then i am gonna e puttin more volts than i need right.

Set it at stock Voltage.

Also download any stress test software, prime95, Intel burn test etc... to see if your clock is stable.

CPU-Z is great to tell what clock you achieved.

The i7's achieve 4ghz without sweating, so it should be an easy overclock for you.

However I have only OC'ed AMD computers so I know nothing really about Intel overclock's (better learn though, just built my first Intel computer)

Ya i have all the stress test software and i ran prime for about 45mins and all my temps were really good. Im just confused about if i have to disable anything because when i try to keep everything at stock and boot at 3.2 its jus locks up and dont boot. So i know im missing something here. all i did was change the qpi and muti. like it said still nothing.

Make sure you up your volts enough to deal w/ the increase in clock.

Set your memory to the 8 multiplier.

ok i got it to 3.6 but i have 1600mhz cosair ram and im not gettin the correct time i just seen flyin told me to set my memory mutli to 8 but is there anything else i need to do because im still unsure how to so this.

you may want to disable hyperthreading and see if that makes it stable, it usually does with me if i am at 4.2Ghz and i leave HT on it wont be stable if i turn it off its stable

not to be an ass but this kind of post in annoying, you would get a lot more out of doing the research yourself to find out exactly why your increasing things/turning stuff off... plus you will feel like you did the work yourself and should be proud of it vs asking what to do. some people will say turn turbo off, I leave it on for personal reasons, research guides so you can learn the science behind over clocking, there is not one set of bios settings that works for every 920, all BIOS are different.

Heya guys I was just wondering if anyone could give me an idea what I can overclock too and how too. Ive never OC'ed before but I am starting to find that the new After Effects CS5 takes up way more processor as does some newer games like BFBC 2. Here are my specs.

i7 core @ 2.67Ghz
ATI radeon HD 4850 w/1gb of memory
3 gigs of DDR3 Ram @ 10066 MHz
Whatever the stock mother board is for a FX6800-01e (I thinks its an X58 Intel Express)
A 1TB Sata HDD @ 7200 RPM

Holy mother! a thread raises from the grave!!!!

btw... just search this forum. you should read a thread about the basics of overclock, then one specifique to your processor.

you can also try to find people with the same mobo and processor's revision you have, to hget an Idea of what you can achieve with what voltages.

good luck

Yeah, me too... Really need a complete tutorial step by step...

lol, lets raise this thread to the top!
Has anyone made a full step by step overclocking thread? I have seen one that goes over it pretty well, but I don't see one that fully explains how to work with the different multipliers, what they mean and why you would want it like that. The "why" is usually ommitted in most threads, making overclocking sort of a "just do what everone else did and see if it works" sort of thing. But I guess that is how it is.
