i7 Overclock on Air

Recommended Posts

On Monday next I am picking up my rig after it has been transferred into an Antec air-cooled case.

I am presently overclocked to 3.3gig in the old standard case, but I would like to take it up to the best I can with the new cooling system.

If  anyone has something similar I would be glad of any advice, and your successful BIOS settings.  Temp limited to 80c. I use the OCCT load test.

i am using an 17-920, currently clocking it at 3.4ghz on air with temps running max under load 65c, i can clock to 3.8, temp goes to about 75-80c, but my memory is not the best so is not 100% stable at 3.8 where as i am perfectly stable at 3.4 (mem upgrade on the way)

That's my 200 Bclock (200x21 - 4.2 GHz) setup - your BIOS might differ. That's on water cooling at 65 C. Careful with air cooling, watch your temps closely.

Just to give an idea (remember that you alter your BIOS settings completely on your own risk. If something goes wrong, you can only blame yourself).

Maybe I'm just not looking good, but what's your motherboard...? I can't find it in your signature...
