Just put one together for a friend.
Surprisingly easy to overclock, considering I've never played with an i7 before.
Parts:
Asus P6T
intel i7 920 (D0, Batch# 3849A846)
3x 2GB OCZ PC1600 Platinum (7-7-7-24)
Ultra-120 Extreme 1366-RT
Asus 4670
Antec Sonata 3
500W Earthwatts included with case
150GB Velociraptor
LG DVD
It seems more then happy at:
200 x20 = 4ghz (turbo disabled)
Memory: 800mhz (1600) 7-7-7-24
CPU voltage: 1.25v
Uncore (QPI/Dram core) voltage: 1.25v
Memory (DRAM bus) voltage: 1.64v
Everything else on Auto.
Idles in high 40s
24hr full load low 70s
24hr 8x prime low 80s
(Ambient ~25C)
Anybody foresee any issues with voltages or temps? I'm sure it would easily go faster but it will be used in a recording studio and needs to be 100% stable so I don't want to push it any farther. I wasn't even planning to leave it at 200 x20 but since it got there so easily with so little voltage we figure we might as well.
