Tek-Almighty April 26, 2009 Share Tek-Almighty Member April 26, 2009 Looks good. I'm glad you are satisfied. I read your posts in the benchmark thread and I don't think you have much to worry about as far as your placement on any particular graph. Couple of things. I would read some threads on overclocking your i7. So far the 920 is giving reliable 1 ghz OCs to a lot of people. I am guessing that a lot of the folks with a similar rig to yours have overclocked that 920 to at least 3.0 ghz. In fact, I think Cujo has his running smooth at 3.8??? IF you do OC that rig, just take it slow. That will dramatically increase 3Dmark scores. OH, and your cable management is pretty sweet. It is crucial to airflow, specially in a case like that. I crack my case once every couple of months and dust it out and change air filters. Also, clean and reapply thermal paste on CPU once every year.

VooDooPC May 17, 2009 Share VooDooPC Member May 17, 2009 That EVGA motherboard has a "Dummy OC" setting in the bios that does a simple overclock for you to like 3.4ghz. It's pretty nice for not having to worry about changing the settings yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VooDooPC May 18, 2009 Share VooDooPC Member May 18, 2009 In the BIOS on start up it's in one of the options. You select it and it will gray out the overclocking settings and do it for you.
