O'C i7 920 D0 to 4ghz...Help

Help plzzzzzzzz..

Is a program needed ...or how to access it from the bios

Thanks helloworld_98

4GHz on air might be pushing a bit, yet 3.5GHz is certainly possible..I have mine on 3.5 with a Hyper Z600 (dual fan) and my load temperatures are around 75C hottest core (ambient 26C)

^ you can't add fans to the v8.

and D0's can hit 4Ghz easily, if you have a huge case and a nice cooler, it also helps if you clear the dust from the filters quite often aswell.

I went to the bios..i put ( dummy overclocking - on )

I changed only the ram setting to xmp 1 ..it automatically o'c my processor to 3.2ghz..but the pc keeps restarting.
My processor and ram are running @ default settings

How to o'c my i7 to 3.2ghz atleast and ram to 1600mhz safely ?

Is there any good and reliable program to check the temperature of all my parts ?

On the mainboard there is a cpu temp display ..

When i first put it ..it stayed 23 for a few seconds then went on drastically to 45 , 72 , 85
FInally it remains @ 7F

What does the 7F means...?

I installed a vista ultimate x64 and had some problems :

1 . Cant get resolution above 1280*1024

I thought it was the screen but i had managed to get better resolution on an xp x64
Viewsonic 17'' monitor
Screen was VGa only so i had to use the DVI converter that came with the sapphire radeon hd4890

2. When stating pc and running 3d benchmark ..both detects all my hard disks bt when i click on my computer i get only the ocz vertex and 1 WD 1tb
When i should be getting 1 ocz vertex and 3 WD hard disk

3. Should i stick with vista or use the latest windows 7 Rc x64 ?

What other difference bet windows x86 and x64 except that the x32 detects only 4gb ram?

Thanks

Urgent :

Vista Ultimate x64 Sp2
or
WIndows 7 build 7264 ( or another build ) x64

WHich monitor should i take...A 24'' 1080p with low response time 2ms OR a 32'' 1080p with higher response time 6ms.

I intend to get 1 or 2 Ati Dx 11 cards later on

My firewall is blocking the site ...http://tinyurl.com/mkehba

Build finished but i am having some problems..

My sapphire hd4890 toxic runs extremely hot and get BSOD....i'll test my ram

Sapphire Hd4890 toxic :40-45 degrees idle....

Processor :20(all fans high)-23( fans low) degrees idle ...40 degrees( fans high)- 44 degrees ( fans low) when running prime95

The processor is running @ 2.6ghz and ram @ 1066mhz
What temperature can i expect to o'c the i7 920 ( D0 version) to 4ghz and ram to 1600mhz(stock)

I think the asus xonar essence stx was not compatible with the system as i removed the card and everything is working fine...Though graphics sucks a bit..

I used 3dmark ...and got 27fps before for the GPU test 1 ..now i am getting 10-12 fps...Why is that ?

I am also having storage problems......
I have an ocz vertex 60gb and 3 WD caviar black 1tb
WHen i boot it detects all hardware and even when i used HWmonitor it shows the temp of the 3 WD...
But when i explore MY COMPUTER ...There is only 1 ocz vertex 60gb and 1 WD black 1TB
When there should have been 1 ocz vertex and 3 WD black 1TB

Waiting for system to become stable ..then will o'c

Anyways everything ok now...i even let the system on for the night with prime95 running and temp 40 degrees without any problems....

I am currently using the motherboard audio

can the processor handle 3.2ghz 24/7 with coolermaster v8 ?

Viruzzzz; if I were you I'd be paying a local tech to do it for you. Also; start with a very very small overclock and use that for a week to test for stability; then gradually up it as your able to.

Thanks.between reinstalled the asus xonar and it works...

only problems it shows only 2 speakers when i have a 5.1 setup and only 2 speakers works

The real problem was with the mainboard ..the 1st and 2nd pci slot worked well giving 43 degrees for my hd4890 ...but when i put it in the 3rd pci slot ..it did not detect the card ...the resolution was very low and the heat pipes on the hd4890 could have been well over 100 degrees .....

I had to use the 2nd slot but the graphic card is really close to my asus xonar but still temp was increased by only 1 degrees...so no real problem yet...

Is the problem really with the mainboard or the 3rd pci slot should not have been used for graphic card ?

There are 4 pci slots on the mainboard

I meant ...is it possible that the 3rd slot was not made for graphic cards as the temp was really very high...the heat pipes were burning hot ....in the 2nd slot it is much less hot ...

Is it a problem with the board ?

ok . pc working great...

FOR o'c now :

What temps are safe for an i7 920
Right now i am @ 22 idle ..40 under load
What voltages are safe for an i7 920

i'll o;c only to 3.2ghz ( to be safer )

Should i turn off hypertreading and turbo mode ?
Does that mean i will have only 4 logical cores instead of 8 ?

Is it worth it to go to 3.2ghz with hypertreading and turbo mode off ( if necessary ) or to leave the processor @ 2.6ghz with hyper and tubo on ?

"Right now i am @ 22 idle ..40 under load"

With a v8?

Using coretemp or realtemp? Sounds like its giving you fake info.

Hi ....I finally o'c the processor...

@ 3.19ghz running prime95 : 53 degrees (v8 low speed), 46 degrees ( v8 max speed)

I cant get my ram to 1600mhz...i keep getting blue screen with physical dumping etc...

It is currently @ 1333 mhz


Why cant i get 1600mhz ?

What is better :

1600mhz with normal latency

or

1066mhz with low latency ?

by memory ratio did you mean 1600mhz 2:12

O'c sucks

the only way i can get 1600mhz witn 8-8-8-24 is to leave the processor @ 2.6ghz with xmp profile 1

If i o'c to 3.2ghz like now ....1600mhz doesnt work at all....1300mhz cas latency 11-11-11-28

Current o'c :

processor @ 3.24ghz vcore 1.275v
Memory @ 1066mhz 9-9-9-24 dimm 1.6v


Is there any way to get 3.2 - 3.4ghz with memory 1600mhz ( 8-8-8-24 )

Current temp : 26 degrees idle .. 45 degrees with prime95
( all fans low )

Thanks

LOl did what you said ...Ram 1066mhz ( 8-8-8-24) 1.64v, processor 3.7ghz (vcore 1.22v) ..temperature around 54-55 degrees running prime95 ( v8 low )
