So i built my core i7 system installed vista 64 bit and some programs and i got to overclocking right away. I have a good cpu cooler its a vigor monsoon III and at idle my pc is around 20C when running 3dmark06 its about 27-28C this cpu fan is massive and keeps my cpu very cool. I have the 920 i7 @ 2.66 and 2 gtx 260's. So the most ive been able to overclock stable is 3.10GHz. I try raising voltages,other options, and the evga x58 overclock guide. I cant get it higher than 3.10 and i kno it can go much higher. If anyone has any ideas i would like to hear them. The EVGA x58 is supposed to be a exellent baord to overclock on.
