Some basic OC help needed please

[darrenkarp]

Hi All,

I have a GB EX58-UD3R MB with an Intel i7 920 @ 2.67Ghz cpu, 6gb of ram and a Zalman heat sink fan. I've successfully OC to 3.42Ghz simply by raising the bus frequency from 133 to 171 but was wondering whether there was other things that I should be doing rather than simply raising that. I'm not concerned about getting more than 3.42Ghz simply wanting to check that what I'm doing is ok.

TIA
DZ

You will Need to start raising the CPU voltage at some point otherwise it will become unstable... Google I7 920 overclock or on the forums to see what other peoples voltage are. Then monitor temps / stability.
