lol this is funny, more than half of the i7 920 owners have their i7's overclocked past 4 GHZ.

this sorta makes me want one lol

this poor cat could only achieve 3.8 ;(, but im more than happy with that.

i7 920 @ stock is better than my old phenom II 940 @ 3.75

Not sure if someone has posted this before (I'm not prepared to trawl thro' hundreds of posts!) but I discovered this i7 calculator on the net:

NehalemCalc - it takes away a lot of the problems of setting wrong QPI Multi, Uncore Multi etc setting ......

Def worth a look

Another interesting thing I found was a Gigabyte pdf guide to overclocking the 920 to 4GHz. Although the specifics are for the Gigabyte EX58 Extreme they should also apply to most other boards and is def worth a read if you are new to overclocking the i7.....

Question for you guys, what are normal temps on the stock cooler at default clocks, and what kind of temps are people on aftermarket coolers getting with overclocks? Whats the highest 24/7 people are getting with air and what kind of temps do they get? I'm researching my options, although i5 is do out in Q3, I'm damn interested in another Intel setup.

I run at 4gig 24/7 as per my specs, at full load in OCCT in large dataset I hit temps of around mid 60's, thats with ambients of about 25C, I can bench at 4.2gig with max temps at around high 70's or very low 80's, I have not tried to see if I can bench higher yet purely because of time..... but I will!

I have hit hard times and need to sell me computer. I just lost my job today and bills are coming in. Including all of the OTW's how much do you think I could get for my whole rig? $'s not pounds please.

Just having a quick scan at that nice rig of yours, if you sold it in parts probably around $1000 realistically, as a whole system a bit less.

johnnyfiive · Jul 1, 2009

I'm Sorry to hear that Dark

, I'm sure you could get a decent amount by parting it out. That will be the fastest/easiest option IMO. Surely you could sell it as a whole, but not many people will know how to work with water, especially if they are not commuter savvy. Might be best to part it out among TPU and other forums.

depending on how much money you need i would just sell the high dollar items that can be replaced easily.

i'd say sell your cpu, video card , lcd, motherboard and other such items. keep the hard to find things like your water setup.

i dont know how soon you'll be able to afford the stuff again but at least you would be aligning yourself for a faux upgrade path in the distant future.

that is very true man, I never thought of that. What do you say darkego, good idea?

DarkEgo · Jul 2, 2009

I found a buyer for the SSD so that should hold me over for a little while. I am going to look for a new job but if I can't find one I am going to have to keep selling off computer parts to pay for bills. If anyone wants anything out of my rig PM me with an offer.
