    Posted: 26 Aug 2009 at 8:27pm
My computer just made it stage 7. I'm a little curious about the listing.  Some of the information seems kind of high, more so than normal from what I've seen with other people's computer overclocks.

Processor Temperatures

Idle: 24C
Overnight Load: 76C
Important Notice: Overclocked systems will definitely run hotter than stock units. Your unit has been tested to be fully stable in our stress-test facility at these temperatures.

Overclocked Processor Settings

Processor Speed GHz: 3.8
CPU Multiplier: 20
Voltage CPU VCore: 1.425
VDroop Control: Yes
i7 - BCLK MHz: 181
i7 - Voltage QPI\DRAM: auto
i7 - Voltage QPI\PLL: 1.25
i7 - Voltage CPU VTT: 150
i7 - Voltage IOH Vcore: 1.35
i7 - Voltage ICH Vcore: auto
i7 - Voltage IOH/ICH I/O: auto
i7 - PWM Frequency: 800
780i/790i - Memory Clock Mode:
780i/790i - CPU FSB MHz:
780i/790i - Voltage FSB:
780i/790i - Voltage SPP:
780i/790i - Voltage MCP:

Motherboard BIOS: S610V
Video Card Driver: 190.62
Chipset Driver: CD
Sound Card Driver: CD

Is the vcore at 1.425 safe? Will the rest of the overclock information cause problems down the road? Or are these safe?

Oh ok so all the info is ok for my system right? Should I keep hyper threading on or just stick with what is there? Thank you for the reassurance and help.

I got 3.59 for my I7 920 overclock and was very happy.  I think you will be extra pleased with the 3.8 OC.  Sounds like you have a nice system headed your way. You will really enjoy what a true gaming machine is like once it arrives.

Hm.... You have higher volts and temps than me, but lower OC?

What board are you running?

This is an i7 920 with stage 3 frostbite cooling and 275's in sLI also liquid cooled. Oh my OC was 3.808 which I am very happy with

Thanks Venom

I decided to go conservative and asked Randy to turn it down a bit and get whatever they can without having to up the core voltage. If I can get anything between 3.2 to 3.5 ghz that way I'll be very happy.

I'm upgrading here from a 5 year old Dell xps with a Pentium 4 so even the stock i7 920 would seem like a miracle. And if you consider the price of an i7 975 at 3.3 ghz at around $1000, the overclocked 920 is a super bargain.

Thanks for the input though. I love this forum.
