I just finished putting together my i7-920 build and am ready to try my hand at some over clocking of the setup. Here is what I have:
Processor: i7-920 (D0 Stepping)
MOBO: ASROCK X58 Extreme http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157163
Memory: Patriot Viper Tri Channel 6GB PC10666 DDR3 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=P33-6074
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper N520 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=C283-1202
Case: Cooler Master CM690 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=C283-2032
Power Supply: OCZ ModXStream Pro Power Supply - 500-Watt http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=O261-2016
Video: XFX Radeon HD 4670 Video Card - 1GB GDDR2, PCI Express 2.0 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?Sku=P450-4670
I am not looking to do any form of extreme over clock on this thing - just something around 3.6 or so.
Based on my hardware do you think I have a good chance of achieving a moderate level of over clocking?
Are there profiles that other folks have shared that I can load via the OC DNA application that is provided with this motherboard?
I am pretty much a complete noob at over clocking - looking for specifics for my BIOS and any hints and tips.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
