Bios is the way to go, and is VERY simple. First set your multiplier to either 21x or 19x, since the i7's favor odd multipliers when overclocking. Then, just increase BCLK in increments of 10 until you blue screen or crash. After about 160 BCLK run at least 10 minutes of prime95 to make sure you won't crash, before you do another increase. Once you do crash, increase your VCORE by 0.25 until you can boot into windows again. If VCORE alone is not giving you stability, set your ioh and ich to 1.2, your vdimm to 1.65, your cpu pll to 1.88, and your qpi/uncore to 1.35. ^Those settings are 100% safe. Your qpi/uncore might need a little adjusting up or down if you are getting the blue screen code 124. These settings will probably guarantee a 4.0 if you have a d0 stepping, and your VCORE should not be going past 1.35 if even that. @OP, GPU overclocking is the easiest out their, but really depends on the card itself. Just download MSI afterburner. 900mhz on a 5770 is a joke for an overclock, all reference models should be able to hit 950/1350 on 1250 voltage(100% safe up to 1350 where it locks). My MSI R5770 Hawks can run at 1050/1400 @ 1300 volts, and pass 20 minutes of furmark(gpu stability program). | ||

Really 1400 on the memory? did you add headsinks to the memory located on the back as i think that would be the first to go, it's what i enviably had to do for my friends 5770 hawk as he couldn't get it past 1345 stable after that it would randomly produce an error like an hour in was good enough for a benchmark or suicide run but not for everyday use. | ||

My i7 920 c0 is currently at 3.4ghz maxing out at 70C with prime95 and no voltage changes.. how high do you think I could get my 920 if I change my voltage as per your suggestions? Depends on the 920 and your motherboard, the 920 it's not a super consistent chip in terms of overclocking performance it's why they got out the 930 which is one. | ||
