Hello,

Since yesterday I've a core i7 and I'd like to overclock it but I don't know how.
My system specs:


Processor: Core i7 920
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
Cooling: Scythe Infinity Mugen 2 with MX-2
Memory: OCZ Platinum XTC OCZ3P1600LV3GK CAS 7@ 1.65v
Video Card: XFX GTX280 1GB
Harddisk: Samsung F1 1TB
CD/DVD Drive: Samsung SH-223F
CRT/LCD Model: Samsung T220
Case: Antec Peformance 182 with 4 Case fans
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M700

Idle temps are about 25 degrees celcius..
How do I overclock my core i7? I've enver overclocked a cpu before so I've no experience.
Could you please help me with the BIOS settings?

thank you :toast:
