I'm currently doing as part of my ICT coursework some build recommendations, just wondering what's a couple of good mobos for OCing i7s? I'm looking for a really good and expensive one for the high-performance build and a less expensive one for the moderate build.
Mobos really isn't my strong point :p
 
is this a 1366 socket i7 (aka core-i7 920) or 1156 socket (aka core-i7 860)

Oops, silly me >_< I meant 1366 ;)

**** you Intel and your new naming scheme!

Thanks hefe those are perfect ;) And that is on epic son of a ***** motherboard!
 
Yes it is. And this is how it should be set up. :)

Posting here again because it's the same coursework:
How far do you recon an i7 920 can be pushed while using a stock cooler? Assuming you have an epic mobo like the EVGA E760 :)
 
That sounds about right, thanks :) And ambient I guess would be ST.
 
I was able to hit 3.2 at 1.1volts so a stock cooler should be able to handle that just fine. Depends a bit upon the chip as well. some just need more volts than others.
