HI!

So after my previous mobo had a nice pint of lemonade spilt on it removing my OC I will be replacing it with the Asus Sabertooth, I will also be swapping coolers to the phanteks ph-tc14pe, which will outperform my previous cooler (domino ALC) which I had been able to get a 4ghz overclock, relatively stable.

Either way I will be testing my cpu's ability to overclock and I require some settings to try.
So ideally what I need are ~ known working settings for 4-4.5 ghz overclocks for the 920, bare in mind upto 4.5 is solely for testing purposes to see how far I can actually push it.

Thanks
Sig

1.62V for 4.5Ghz screenshot...I had a horrible 920.


obviously don't follow other peoples settings if it could damage your CPU.

What are your settings for 4Ghz?

------------------------------ Core i7 3930K @ 4.6Ghz - 8GB 1866Mhz 7-9-7-24-1T - Gigabyte X79-UD3 - 1000W XFX Pro Platinum - Modded ATCS 840 - Custom Water - Corsair Force 3 120GB

BIN THAT CHIP SIGGY.

No but Srsly Siggy, the chance that you will hit 4.5Ghz is very slim - especially regarding your wonderful little i7 has probably degraded to hell.

I wouldnt go higher than 1.4v on your Processor - and 1.45v on your QPI but for a stable 4.5ghz 1.5QPI and 1.45v on Processor may be needed, which to be honest is WAY too high.

If you insist on doing this - then try 1.4v on Processor, 1.25v on QPI, 1.65v on RAM, 1.875v on PLL, IOH Vcore on 1.1v, VTT on 1.25v, IOH/ICH I/O on 1.5v, ICH Vcore on 1.05v with your Bus Speed @ 214.3 x 21 (4500.3mhz)

Most folk run 1.3 to 1.35v for stable 24/7 OC on the Vcore and 1.25v for the QPI. Assuming your chip is a D0 Stepping it will hit 4.0 - 4.2Ghz with those settings.

------------------------------ Core i5 2500k @ 5.02ghz 1.51v 8 Hours Prime95 Stable (@ 4.6Ghz 24/7) w/ Phanteks PH-TC14PE, ASUS P8Z68-V-PRO , 8GB Corsair Vengance White, Sapphire R7870 2GB @ 1250/1450, WD Caviar Black 640GB

DJ, WASH DEM JEANS

And yes I insist, I am going to be taking this to the point of it hitting 95 degrees or until I get scared.

Dependant on the results I will probs be leaving it at whatever clock speed stables out at 75 degrees~

Its a terrible Idea letting me come round saturday to OC it. I'm not going to leave until I've linpacked the living crap out of it and it sets on fire.
