OC`ing the Core i7 930

**masterPAINb** · 04-09-10, 04:03 PM

Hey techies, I will most likely be building a new rig in the beginning of July. I had my eyes on the core i7 920, which I read from 1st person TTP accounts and elsewhere on the internet that it overclocks great. Now that the 920 is getting phased out, I probably will be going for the i7 930, its successor.

If you happen to buy the 930 and try to oc it, please share your experiences. I'd like to know if it's the same chip simply with a higher base frequency :?

They are all supposed to overclock very well and even will automatically overclock if you turn on a BIOS setting. It's a good card and you probably won't need a to OC in the first place.

Looks good enough to me, been toying with the idea of building a second rig and using the 930. Dont intend on OCing.

What mobo? My advice is to find a forum specifically for your mobo and see what everybody else has already learned about how to overclock on that mobo. If you happen to have EVGA E758, I can give you some tips that worked for me on my i7 920.
