far as i remember from my i7 920 days using the ud5 motherboard

the previous comment is inaccurate when they say

increasing this to 3.5Ghz by FSB overclocking is near-on impossible. You're more likely to gain 200Mhz before your computer becomes unstable.

i seem to remember running mine at 21 x 200mhz for 4.2ghz

have a read here--if you cant manage it with this guide then i cant really explain it any better

The only way to overclock your processor is to increase the BCLK, which is also known as FSB overclocking. There are plenty of good guides available.

Your processor's current clock speed is 2.8Ghz, and increasing this to 3.5Ghz by FSB overclocking is near-on impossible. You're more likely to gain 200Mhz before your computer becomes unstable.

A word of warning, make sure you understand how to overclock and what the associated risks are. This is particularly important when using the FSB method, as adjusting BLCK impacts every component in the PC, not just the processor.
