Help me overclock my i7 920

[ianeatsdonuts]

Hi guys so I have
asus extreme ii motherboard
intel i7 920
gtx 295
3gb of coarsair dominators
coolermaster v8

so here's my problem I've been trying to overclock it to 4.2ghz but every time it either blue screens or freezes a black screen right before vista... Sorry if I'm not detailed enough lol so ask me questions I'm also posting pictures of my bios maybe you can help me solve this riddle lol.

Did you read at the top of the page where it said "OVERCLOCKING STICKY". It says it at the top of the page. All you have to do is read a little. I'm not sure you totally understand the many variables as your CPU voltage is already dangerously high. Read a little so we can help you with your issue.

So I should lower my CPU to around 1.4-1.5?

 

[ianeatsdonuts]

I also READ that I should set it at 1.5 and add more power if it blue screens. Or maybe I'm wrong lol please correct me.

Yes, you need to read the sticky's before you ask any questions....

ok so i have read the other forums. it didt realy help me out too much thats why i posted this. I settled for less and only got 2.1 ghz but my voltage is something around 1.57. i started it at 1.4 and it blue screened till 1.5ish. all i want to know now is why could i not overclock it further. is it because of the processor cause i know every processor is not made with the same ability's or is it due too my temps or voltage. please just answer the question or dont bother by telling me to look at others forums

sorry i meant 4.1 not 2 lol

You 'can edit' your post so you didn't have to post again. But I don't think your gonna get a lot of help here without doing some work on your part. BTW, 1.4 VID is enough to ruin your CPU.

It is as easy as reading here :

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/253365-29-core-overclocking-guide

not trying to send to other forums, trying to get you to understand that "Overclocking" your CPU is as not as easy as you think... If you have not done any overclocking you should at least read and learn the basics. Then once you have an idea of how it works you can ask as many questions as you want. Overclocking is not achieved by me telling you to do a certain task, it involves changing many values and settings. The link above is pretty strait-forward, it does not get any easier than that...

you should lower'ed below 1.42 the most you can

ok here my spec's:

first go to the ram page and set it to 8 8 8 21 the memory

2d set the cpu differential amplitude to 8

the qpi/ram set it to(132500 or 1.33125) depends on the cpu voltage you need.....

the cpu voltage to start boot and be stable should be not higer than 1.34 on that mother board(dropping the dram voltage help you lower the voltage need it with that qpi/ram number............


set those things and give me and up date-disable turbo an type inn 21 on the ratio (if dint'it yet)


submit the changes and tell me how it goes
