Overclock intel I7 920

[kyosang]

Hello,
I wanted to know how to overclock my i7 ? I just look on the net, I made up a 3.2 Ghz (that is to begin because I do not know much myself. But I wanted to know the tension, how it grows and on what basis ? by against, when I run cpu-z, I see that the multiplier Bonged all the time, from x19 to x 21 x 12 and so if you know why ?

Personally I do not know anything about overclocking an I7 920 . It looks really more complex than a good old Core 2 duo. But for the second question, the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology to save energy and make less heat the CPU. Disable in the BIOS.

It will be sufficient to determine the maximum frequency can redeem your CPU. To do this, lower the ratio of maximum RAM, and uclk QPI. Enter the desired ratio CPU (for 920 and 940, it is often the highest). Start CPU has a frequency identical to the original frequency 100Mhz +. Par exemple, For example, a 940, start to 3.03Ghz (138x22). You will test the stability of this setting by 5 minutes of OCCT mixed. If you pass the test, you can increase the bclk of 5MHz (or more if you are on you). If you encounter an error, it will be down to the last stable CPU frequency or increase the cpu voltage (vCore in bios).

When you get a high CPU frequency, you may be settling skews, or look at the vpll, depending on your hardware. The CPU clock amplitude may also be beneficial. When you decide to stop, confirm the RAM frequency by a test of OCCT for 30 minutes while monitoring the temperature carefully. I was able to stabilize a 920 under a Noctua NH U12 to 4.1Ghz. This is a good frequency for this CPU.

On a platform based i7, frequency RAM is almost as important as the CPU frequency. Also, it is better to focus on the frequency of the RAM timings. Thus, a configuration equipped with a 900Mhz RAM C9 will be more effective than another at 600 C5. The habits of Core 2 Duo is thus forgotten. The FSB strangles more performance and so much the better.
