*A:M User* Roger Posted April 8, 2013 *A:M User* Share Posted April 8, 2013 I went from a stock speed of 2.6ghz on my Core i7 920 to 3.6ghz, cpu is not even above 120 degrees F (according to the temp sensor). I could probabably push it to 4 or even 4.2 but I don't know that I feel like messing around with the voltages or memory clocks. I've heard of people hitting 5ghz with the newer i7s with water cooling but I'm not sure what speed memory they are using, or how aggressively they are tweaking the voltage. If you pushed the FSB, the voltage and had a cpu with an unlocked multiplier you could probably hit 5ghz. I'll stick with my 1ghz overclock for now, that is in the neighborhood of 40 to 50%.
