How to overclock i7 920 cpu

[Darkventures]

Hi guys,

 

I received my new components today and I have installed them all.

Now I was looking in the bios-menu's and when I came to the tab "AI Tweaker" I saw

a totally new menu.

 

My question is how can i proceed to overclock my new cpu ???

System overview :

 

CPU : Intel Core i7 920 D0

Mainbord : Asus PT6 SE

Memory : OCZ DDR3 1600 3 x 2GB Platinum (7-7-7-24) 1.65 Volts

 

Hope someone can help me understand this :thumbs-up:

Increase Bclck in the Bios until it isn't prime95 stable, then increase volts until it is, raise bclck, etc.

 

That's the gist of it, it gets a bit more complicated when you're going a bit hardcore, like 4.0Ghz+(which the D0 chips easily do)

Haha...I wish that overclocking an i7 was that easy. There's much more that goes into overclocking the i7, like uncore and QPI speed, as well as a whole new host of voltages most overclockers have never seen. I would recommend searching google for a good beginners guide to overclocking the i7 and then come back here with specific questions you may have. I'll be more than happy to help you if have specific questions regarding your overclock on your specific hardware.

 

Thanks

Thanks guys for your replies.

 

I've been looking around the net and got some useful info and as we speak

my system is running at 3,8 Ghz with the Core i7 920 cpu.

It is running very stable maybe i'm going a bit further with overclocking when I

have a new cpu-cooler to replace the current intel cooler which came with the cpu.

 

Thanx
