As the title says I'm a beginner in overclocking and I have a few questions.
I followed this video to help me overclock my i7 920.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPyHVGmyjQo
I know its risky following this video and changing a bunch of settings in my bios but in the end it seems to have worked. The overclock was successful and I was running at 4ghz all yesterday. Although it was running hot, 50C idle and it shoots up to high 70s running prime95. I didn't run it long as I know those temps are dangerous.
I was wondering what I would have to change in my bios to get an ideal overclock. I know a little but most of the settings changed I have no clue about. I dropped down the voltage from 1.22 to 1.2 and decreased to multiplier by 2 to get 3.6ghz just so I feel like my computer isn't dying just sitting idle.
