[QUOTE="Nethemis"]one more thing you are going to need prime 95 for a stress test/intelburn/or occt either one s good. Also get cor temp or HW monitor to monitor your temps after a you overclock.XxSTILL_BORNxX
What is the ideal temp? anything under 70 - 75?

with i7's 70-75 is a good safe zone most are fine with 80-85, imo not going over 80 is fine max temp range if i remember correctly 90 is the max.

[QUOTE="XxSTILL_BORNxX"][QUOTE="Nethemis"]i'm pretty sure the i7 960 clocks close to the same as a 920, 930 and up. Here are a couple places with guides to give you and idea: http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/overclocking/22106-core-i7-overclocking-guide-beginners.html http://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/538439-guide-overclocking-core-i7-920-930-a.html http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2008/11/06/overclocking-intel-core-i7-920/1 http://forums.pureoverclock.com/showthread.php?threadid=5736 As far as getting started, Depending on your cpu/Cooler will judge on how far you can actually push your own overclock, as far as temps/voltages it allows you to utilize. One more thing always do your overclocking via bios ;) GL and HF.

Thanks dude, im at the X58 bios setup now looking up stuff and getting familiar with the menu. I'll give these guides a look now.

np dude :)
