hey guys just wanted to know wether this OC is good OC on an i7 920

just got TRUE a week back and have a D0 revision 920

ok so everything is at stock as far as bios goes except for the FSB of course

i just went to bios and changed the fsb to 180x20

turbo is on so its 3779 or something like this in cpuz

is 3.8 a good OC for an i7 920?

also everything is at stock so do i have to worry about anything?

temps are below 55 on gaming and below 70 on PRIME 95 test

have been using this OC for like 4 days or so

so is this a good OC and also like i have everything at stock is this good or should i change it?

Well since my PII 955 also hits the magic barrier on stock voltages on 3.8 my guess is that it is fine.

Why? If you are not happy, go ahead and risk voiding warranty, frying an already good CPU and throwing away $280.
