Hi, Is there a resource i could use to overlock my i7 920 (2.66ghz stock) on an asus PT6 deluxe (V1 presumably) I also have this memory:

The memory is in slots # 1,3,5

System information:

500gb drive
1tb drive
ATI 5850
Corsair h50 CPU cooler (Idle temp of 38 with side panels off)
1kw PSU
X-fi sound

CPUID screenshot at end. I think my ram is not running at 1600mhz.

Hi,

It looks like your RAM is @ 1333 at the moment which gives you headroom to overclock the FSB so you should be okay for a good overclock.

Have you got an aftermarket cpu cooler? Or just stock.

I'd invest in a good one before you start overclocking.

If you already have one read here: http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/1567-intel-overclocking-guide.html

How can you tell that is the speed my ram is running at? I once overclocked this pc's ram 2 years ago successfully, but the bios got wiped at an interminate time and i do not remember how to redo it.

The link provided was very informative, but after reading it, i still dont know what to change in my bios to OC the cpu and ram. I have no idea how to read CPUID either.
