Help on OC i7 920
Buenos días!
Hola!
Me gustaría comenzar en el mundo OC porque tengo una de las primeras versiones de i7 (i7 920 2,6). He leído que es posible obtener alrededor de 3.6 GB de RAM de forma segura. Por otro lado, también he visto que es posible actualizar la tarjeta gráfica.
Mi configuración es:
Intel Core i7 920
3x2GB RAM 1600
heat sink Katana3 (https://www.pccomponentes.com/scythe-katana-iii)
Asus P6T SE
ATI R9 270X Saphire 2GB VRAM
¿Alguien puede ayudarme con esto?
Gracias!
I don't have much idea about how far you can stretch from this cooler, but if it's decent like 212 Evo before, you should be able to get 3.0Ghz easily. Usually, people who go beyond 3.4 are already using water. A version of Corsair's Hydro series might handle it, though I haven't tried it myself. Back then, the Hydro series didn't exist when I was using an LGA1366 board. The Asus P6T SE works well as a starting point. I own a P6T Deluxe myself when I updated mine a few years ago. My 920 only ran at 212GHz at 3Ghz, mainly because I cared more about reliability. It wasn't the CPU that worried me, but the board itself. Because of the LGA1366 overclocking, the BCLK speed is higher, so the stress is greater on the board's North Bridge. There are many other factors involved...
I don't know much about how far you could stretch from this cooler, but assuming its anywhere as good as 212 Evo as I did a while back, you could get 3.0Ghz easy.
More often than not, people that goes beyond 3,4 are on water. Some variant of Corsair's Hydro series might up for the task, but never tried it myself. When I'm at LGA1366 back then, Hydro series were non existent.
Asus P6T SE is a good board as baseline. I have P6T Deluxe, myself, when I OC mine a few years back. My 920 was on 212 only at 3Ghz, since my main concern is durability.
It was not the CPU I'm worried of. It was the board.
Since the nature of LGA1366 OC is pushing BCLK, so the pressure are much heavier on the board's North Bridge. And there are so many stuff crammed on it. I've seen too many dead LGA1366 board. Hence the hesitation to push further. Even with a 550watt by Seasonic.
The thing still run today as my main server/operator rig at my netcafe. Now, running at stock.

Asus P6T SE is a solid base board. I own a P6T Deluxe when I OC'd mine a few years ago. My 920 was only on 212 at 3Ghz, mainly because durability was my priority.
I wasn't worried about the CPU itself. The issue was the board.
Because LGA1366 overclocking increases BCLK, the pressure is much higher on the board's North Bridge. There are so many components packed in there. I've seen too many dead LGA1366 boards, which makes me cautious about pushing further. Even with a 550watt by Seasonic.

My games sometimes have lag. Maybe it's not the core but the graphics card? Should I consider doing an OC on the graphics card?
rush21hit :
Depends on the game and your display resolution. For modern titles, expect Medium settings near 60FPS down to near 30FPS at 1080p.
270X is decent card. But even 280X struggle to keep up with latest titles cranked to max.
even dough, If I put 8GB instead of my current 6GB the games will run smoother right?
Thanks
