This motherboard

And this ram

I have noticed that you can buy all the above as a overclocked bundle
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-030-OE&groupid=43&catid=339&subcat=

I already own the same heatsink and fan, so i know that with that setup i should be able to overclock to 4gig or as close to.

Has anyone brought the overclocked bundle? and if so i would be very grateful if you could post what the bios settings are set to.

Or if anyone has the same setup and has overclocked it to or as close to 4gig would you mind posting your bios setup please,i would most grateful.

I do have some knowledge of overclocking as i have overclocked an e6600 and a q6600 to 3.5gig in the past, but since buying an asus rampage 2 the bios has thrown me a bit :eek:

and i was just looking for somthing to follow.

Thank you.

It's not Asus bios its just the new settings for i7, They are really not hard to learn I went from an AMD to an i7 and overclocked to 4.0 GHZ np, just have a read here http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/538439-guide-overclocking-core-i7-920-4-a.html

Thanks for the posts it helped a lot.

I have got my 920 to 4gig

but i am a bit concerned about my temps, it idles at 40 and under load it can reach to about 65.
My Vcore is set to 1.275v my CPU PLL is set to 1.88v and QPI/uncore is set to 1.35v.
Are those temps and voltages ok?

Hi,

yes those temps are fine, you could expect anything upto 70 degrees at full load @ 4ghz.

Do a 20 run of Intel Burn Test and LinX to find out how stable and hot your system can get.

that 4ghz oc @1.275v is hyper thread enabled??
