I have looked around, I am too lazy to test over and over. Wondering if I can steal someone elses settings who uses the same CPU / Mobo.

I would like to overclock my i7 930. The stock clock is set at 2.8ghz.. I would like to achieve somewhere around 3.4ghz as that seems safe with a Zalman 9700. Anything over 3.6 will be over doing it IMO. Will these settings below work and help me achieve my desired clock of 3.4? They were taken from someones i7 920 (not the 930) clock of 3.4ghz.

BCLK = 170mhz
Multiplier = 20
vcore = 1.216
QPI volts = 1.21250
CPU Spread spectrum = disabled
PCIE Spread spectrum = disabled
Uncore freq = auto
Dram freq = 1350mhz
vdimm = 1.56

you should be ok upping that vcore to 1.25 at least and upping the QPI a little more to 1.25-1.30.

You can easily do 3.6-3.8ghz. Any chip can almost do that sub 1.30 easily. 4ghz is a tougher thing to hit.
