Oh-kay. I should be ordering my watercooling kit shortly. I just hope they let all my shopping list through customs back home, it is slowly becoming bigger and bigger:

1) Complete WC Setup
2) Phenom II X3 720BE
3) ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO
4) 4Gb of G.Skill Ripjaws
5) Sempron 140

And I am pretty sure I am going to pick up more stuff here.... I hope WC will let my 975 spread some wings over the 4Ghz mark.

Hello, I just joined the club, i run an I7 940 @ 4.050 GHz, seems like im the second I7 940 and thought i would contribute since the majority of the ones here are 920's. I just joined, i actually view this thread alot for references on new hardware and tips on my OC.

Thank you zAAm for this thread and im very happy to join the Core I7 Overclockers Club. :)

This club is for everyone who OWNS an overclocked i7 920 (940, 950, 965 and 975 users can come as well although your sanity will be questioned ). I suspect that most i7 owners overclock theirs anyway.

as shortcut just type "only socket 1366"

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)

Thats nice and all, but too bad it varies from each chip and motherboard. It would give a good starting point but as we should all know each chip and mobo are different so using other people's settings is not something I would reccomend.

Its best to learn the process yourself so you know what you are doing rather that cookie cutter settings. ;)

Okay, added :toast:
Could you add your memory timing information as well so I can add that to the table?

Haha, true. That'd probably be better. Although, considering it's the "Core i7 Overclockers Club", I guess we could allow 860 and other LGA1156 i7 users? :confused:

Yeah, I think the club gives you something to aim for, but you'll still need to do the overclocking on your own - there's tons of sites for that. Maybe I'll add a list of the better ones. ;)
