Core i7 930 - EVGA SLI LE Overclocking [Tutorial]

I have had a few people ask me how to overclock the 930. Now these aren't the best settings in the world;however, they are what made my PC stable 24/7. Please make sure you do this in a slow gradual process and be patient with it. I myself did not get to 4.0GHz right away, I went through trial and error and I suggest you do the same. Unless you're a long time overclocker and you're just lazy, then feel free to copy my settings. If you're a first timer, please try to learn from this.

NOTE!!! THESE MAY OR MAY NOT WORK WITH THE 920, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! ALSO REMEMBER, EVERYTHING COMES INTO PLAY HERE: YOUR COOLER/RAM/MOTHERBOARD/ AND EVEN THE CPU ITSELF, YOU MAY NOT ACHIEVE THE SAME SETTINGS!!!

Thanks for the video, I am using what you taught me right now. When you mentioned you would try to run a 24 hour CPU test, is that OK to do to your processor? Would that be bad for it in any way? It just seems like it could cause damage to the processor. Thanks!

@how2backtrack It is more than fine to run a stress test for 24 hours. It is how a lot of OC'ers make sure their clocks are stable. If you fear that it may cause damage, then you should slowly increase your clocks and find a reasonable load temperature when running shorter stress test.

If its stable after a 24hour stress test, you're good to go for the rest of that processor's life :P

are the multiplyers unlocked

[Sm0kaCola]

@crimson177 Not this chip, it only goes up to 22.

Do you know if you can get any better results with the i7 950 and if there is anything else you should/ shlould not change?

[Sm0kaCola]

@MrPumpkinmanSWE Not 100% sure on that but I'm going to say yes, You'll definitely get cooler temps than the 930 at the same clock speeds. I believe the 950 has a higher multiplier so achieving those higher clocks will be easier.

alright not to be mean bro but you sound high 1:15-1:28. I appreciate all the help and information. I have same CPU and MOBO. I am running the prolimatech for cooling. near the beginning you said stable clocks' I did get a message from them saying my PC was good(intelburn) but what should my temps be around? I had real temp running during this. (all pre overclock) appreciate all the help. I want to overclock badly but not bad enough to ruin anything

look on esl :)

eu/fr/#/fr/usergallery/965964/ i can make 4.4 ghz :D

[escalade80]

This is the most extreme BASIC in overclocking... nice tutorial buddy. I am trying to get my i7 930 to 4.4Ghz... if anyone has proper setitngs please share...

[Brygelsmack]

Time to overclock this son of a bitch! Haha nice video.

[gorchalas]

@zeptonify I have 930 @ 3,9ghz. Using Prolimatech's Megahalems with push-pull fans (one 110CFM for push, 60CFM for pull) and it's smooth and stable

[EltoXxX7]

what kind of cooling do you use is the satndard fan ok?
