@ultimatetoturial56 $230 for an i7 920 is definitely worth the money. 4 cores with hyper threading technology that create 8 existing cores! I wouldn't be complaining about the price! I just got my i7 920 at my door step this morning, still need the ASUS Rampage III Formula motherboard, but I'm sure from the reviews of the i7 CPU's, the performance will be nasty.

WTF!!!! 250 dollers core i7

I'm sure you need to change a lot more settings and have faster ram than I have. I don't really have much knowledge aboutany of the settings in the bios. I would love to get it below 1.3 at 4 though...

[LB10671]

My C0 stepping require 1.35v.

If you ahve a D0 i've seen reports of the 920 needing as little as 1.25v @ 4.3GHz

[Remoth000]

What kind of voltages did you have your i7 at for 4.3? at 4, I'm testing 1.325 vcore right now, hopefully it works.

[Remoth000]

did you overclock any of them?

[LB10671]

Same here, 'cept my last 3 systems were Q9450, Q9550 and i gave the wife the Q9650

[Remoth000]

oh i know. the i7 is a bad ass processor. i have one running at 4 Ghz. Pair it up with windows 7 and any good graphics card made in the last year or so and you have a kickass system. Most of my programs that I use take full advantage of all 8 threads in my i7 and its about twice as fast as my Q6600@3.5Ghz.
