you make no mention of oc or volts used if oc'd but stock those arent to way off depending on ambient temps as well. 920's are known to be somewhat warm

I have overclocked my cpu to 9.2ghz but the mobo did it.I just launch the app cpu lvl up and i chose 9,2ghz (it has also 3,2ghz option but it will be hotter).I am thinking to change cpu to 3rd gen because they are not getting so hot but i will need to change mobo too.

lol 9.2GHz is nigh impossible without the most extreme of cooling and volts so high you could roast a pig in a couple hours I'm understanding english might not be your first language and something might of gotten askewed in translation.

For only a 2.9GHz clock (240MHz overclock) from a 920, the Vcore shouldn't be any higher than the default voltage (VID), which w/ turbo disabled should be in the neighborhood of .98-1.12V. So take the Vcore off Auto (disable auto-overclocking), disable turbo mode, and manually adjust the Vcore to 1.12V. Also list your complete system spec's so we know what you're working with.
