Hello,

Will combination of Core i7 920 with memory clocked at 133mhz work fine together? Will I have to OC the CPU or do any other change to the CPU in order to make it work trouble-free or it wont work at all?
 
I am getting quite confused here... At first I thought Core i7 920 system bus was clocked at 1060mhz...

Currently some e-shops show that Core i7 920 system bus is at 1333mhz and some even at 1600mhz which one is it than? Or is it that all are possible according to need?
 
Are you asking if you can use 1333Mhz RAM with a Core i7?

Yes you can, and many people run higher than that. I use 1600Mhz.

Technically the i7 only supports 1066Mhz.
 
So I understand there is no problem using RAM higher than 1066mhz even though none Core i7 processors are made for such memory types?

Correct.

The memory will default to the factory board speed.

You just have to manually adjust the BIOS to the correct timings. (O.C.)
