Well I just got a new computer and its a huge upgrade from what i had before... P4 to i7.. anyways i need help with overclocking it and i have no idea where to start. my specs are below

Intel Core i7 920 Quad Core

3x2048MB OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600MHz) i7 Gold Triple Channel Kit / XTC - OCZ3G1600LV6GK

Cooler Master HAF 932 - Silent Air Flow Gaming Super Tower - Black

Asus P6TD Delux

Cooler Master V-10 Super Quiet & Super Powerful CPU Cooler (1366/775/AM2+/AM3/939/940)

2X Ati 5970.

I have heard you can overclock them to about 4ghz im just not sure what to change in the bios... memory , cpu etcetc
Thanks in advanced!

What the fuckkkk....
Did i just hear 5970 and the 920, wait what the fuck the v10?
anyway
FSB
multi
voltage
bunch of prime 95
then more
FSB
multi
voltage
blah blah blah
till stable

2x ATI 5970...? Holy shit. Anyway, a quick google of something like 'overclocking i7 920 guide' seems to give quite a few results that should step you through the process. Also, the HAF932 is an awesome case, I have one too.

lol thanks for the replies so far Razz

, i have got it clocked at 4ghz now and the idle temp is about 38c and on load its 70c... These to high?

well those where temps under linx and prime 95, doesent get as hot in games...+ i went cheap on my cpu cause i wanted to get an i9 if they are even socket 1366...

also whats a good voltage for 4ghz? i have mine at 1.32 and it seems stable that to low? to high?

we can't tell you a good voltage because it differs per chip

I was using that as a guide but i got a bit confused where it said you need to keep the QPI\Dram voltage and the actual ram voltage atleast 0.5v within each other or its dangerous..? my DRAM bus voltage is as 1.64 so does this mean i need to keep the QPI\dram voltage within .5v of this? 1.14-2.14 :S?
or is it 0.05. also do i need to keep the cpu voltage within 0.5v of anything?
Thanks again Confused

no, but obviously you sacrifice stability when you dick with voltage.

mhz doesn't hurt hardware, voltage does.

how could you have possibly dropped 4ghz without having so much as a clue as to what you're doing?

i posted one up above.. why would i bull shit about somthing so stupid , look at the msn even says my name Rolling Eyes

. I didnt know what i was doing and i still dont but its not that hard to overclock a computer. and yes i was bragging a bit, going from a P4 setup to an i7 is a huge step.

anyways I still need to know which voltages i need to keep within 0.5 of each other and if lowering the voltage to low (1V) can damage the cpu or the lowest safe voltage there is. Thanks
