Live help needed for overclocking core i7 920!

mudkip · Mar 1, 2009, 08:53 PM

Hello,

I bought my new computer (for info see:http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=86589) it will arrive Wednesday and I'm planning to overclock it.

But there's a little problem , I'm not an expert in overclocking! Yes, I've read some tutorials but I don't feel confident enough. That's why I'm wondering if I could add some experienced overclockers on msn ,who have core i7, to help me with overclocking.

I live in the netherlands so if you live in europa that would be great.

This is the setup:

I hope some people will reply that would be really great.

What I would do for now, is check out this thread. Then Wednesday, when you have your computer setup and running, update this thread and hopefully someone will help you. You may also want to do a search on the internet for your motherboard to see what you can find, so maybe you can understand some of the setting better. The best overclock for you will take time exploring what the limits of the specific hardware you receive are.

Well I suggested updating the thread when you have the computer running, so that any of those people can volunteer then.
