How to overclock Core i7 920 with ASUS P6T Deluxe V2

[Lohitaksha]

I desire to utilize the BIOS as an alternative of the ASUS TurboV software for over clocking the 920. What are the essential settings I necessitate to arrange in the BIOS for a steady over clocking of the 920 to approximately 3.XXGHz or even 4.00GHz (if my cooler is superior adequate). That cooler is not crappy, it’s presently bad for the price. It determines to maintain up. You might desire to ease into the over clocking. Go 200bclk and similar to 17 multi.

The primary thing you desire to do when OC'ing on an ASUS MB is to put out of action the entire the energy saving/auto OC'ing purpose in the BIOS. That determine to for the P6T deluxe V2, be the superior Intel Speed Step (originate in the AI tweek segment of the BIOS) and in addition the Enhanced Halt State aka. 'C1E' (originate in the power segment of the BIOS, if I remember appropriately) as a start, you might go with 20 x 140 MHz (BLCK) which determine to bring your i7 920 to 2.8 GHz (~5% OC). For this you be able to maintain the entire voltage settings at auto.

You have to create certain so that your ram does not go beyond the 1333 MHz (their rated speed) even if it means dropping them ~100 MHz. It determines to diminish your memory bandwidth a miniature bit, but it is safer. This is usually done by setting a FSB/DRAM ratio, but on the P6T D V2 it is done by selecting the DRAM regularity corresponding to a confident ratio. Go for the on closest, but under the 1333 MHz marker for starters.

If you desire to up it additional, enlarge the BLCK with a diminutive increment (I similar to start at a round number, for this reason the '140’ and then increasing by 2 MHz BLCK). You have to maintain monitoring your temps at together idle and load. (I would say maintain it a couple degrees under 80°C hard load) - I utilize Core Damage, let it work for at least 15min to get an idea regarding how high the temps determine to get.

When you get to the situation where the CPU gets unbalanced (non POST'ings or crashes/BSOD's in windows), set the vCore voltage physically to the rated voltage (imagine its 1.2v or 1.25 for the i7 - but make sure first). If that does not stabilize the system, up the voltage a miniature bit (1 step increments), or lower the BLCK by 1 MHz decrements till steady. Once you have originated a steady CPU OC, you be able to try going in excess of the 1333 MHz Mem frequency. Similar thing goes here, as with the CPU, for unstablility. It never go beyond 1.65v as I understand it be able to damage the CPU.

I have noticed an assortment recently that people have been suggested to visit the tremendously long core i7 over clocking thread in arrange to gain information in sequence, but individually I originate this thread extremely daunting. This thread is meant for beginners and not for people looking to compress out every last bit from their processor. That’s when things become tremendously motherboard unambiguous. This goal of this guide is to endeavor to create over clocking the core i7 a simple and pleasurable experience. Over clocking your core i7 is a must; if you do not you is a chump.

A superior cooler (Do not utilize stock if you plan to go past approximately 3.5. You determine to work your processor way too hot) (True or megahalem are my preferred but read approximately. I do not have much superior to say regarding the coolit alc despite what reviews might say). The DDR3 1600+ - You be able to get away with 1333 but with ram being as cheap as it is, why not. The attractive much any x58 board (even though some are superior to others, read a number of reviews). A superior PSU with an EPS(8 pin) plug. The Paper, Pencil, and Patience – Write things down so you be able to remember your successes and failures. There is not much to play with in terms of the i7, but maintenance track of what you tried be able to eradicate any frustrating experiences and in addition permit you to go back to a known stable settings.
