There are stability tests and stress tests that are run to make sure your overclock is fully stable. Some people run them for a short time, others run them for half a day or even a whole day, then adjust their overclocks if they fail these stability tests.

There are other reasons such as when people overclock in the winter and don't adjust for summer heat when temperatures go up inside their case, causing winter stable overclocks to fail.

Welcome to the forums.


Compare Thermalright heatsinks to cooler master and start a thread in the video card section called 2 msi 4890's or 1 nvidia gtx 285?

Thanks for your help oddly no Thermalright were available where I bought all the other stuff
on the 12 month payment plan (oh God) so I went with the v8 we'll see what happens.

After many hours pouring over forums hardware sites etc I just went with what I mentioned above seems good enough look for me in the 'why wont it oc past 3ghz area'

New to OC on my new i7 920 rig

Hello Veterans of overclockers.

I recently ordered a new rig...
intel i7 920
asus p6t
corsair xms 6x2g , 12 gig 1600
gtx 295
abs 1050w ps
western digital 500g hd

Now, I'm TOTALLY new to overclocking. I have stock fan for my cpu and I just want to get my cpu to 3.2ghz. no more. Can someone please tell me some settings I can set my bios to achieve this?

ANY help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

I am also part of this club, yay!

i7 920 D0

I'm at 4.19GHz on water 210x20. My ram is borked though, the system isn't stable running the ram at the rated spec of 1600mhz. After a while the system just locks up solid and my mouse optical light turns off (quite odd). But it's perfectly stable at 1333, or 1066. I even tried QPI/Dram voltage upto 1.55v and it seemed a lot more stable but i'm afraid of running it higher.

doonga, you should be able to simply increase the BCLK upto 160 (without XMP). I would try that with the rest of the settings on auto and see if the system is stable using benchmarking software. If it isn't stable you may need to change the RAM speed to equal or less than it's rated mhz rating and manually setting the ram timings. If that fails, bump up the cpu voltage. Luckily Asus decided to colour code the BIOS settings, so just keep em away from the Red zone, and avoid the purple zone.

You will need to check temperatures all the time and make sure they are reasonable, especially when running benchmarks. The temperature can jump as much as 50 degrees C between idle and load.

My P6T Overclock???

3.465 Ghz

CPU Ratio 21
CPU Freq.: 165
Cor Volyage: Auto @ 1.25 volts
RAM 1320 Mhz @ 1.6 volts
QPI/DRAM: 1.4 volts

Is this OK I am running prime and after an hour or so she is still stable at 55 degrees. I am really new to this all and I really don't want to fry my board or processor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I think that looks fine, but the QPI/Dram might be a bit high. I have been using a program called LinX to test stability, some say it finds faults faster; but it certainly heats the cpu up faster and higher than Prime can. I guess it concurrently exercises more blocks in the CPU.

I reverted back a bit and by the way I have the older C0/C1 Revision. With Turbo Mode I get up to 3.15 Ghz that's fine for me.
