    Incorrect DRAM Frequency?

    Hi, I have 3GBs of the Patriot Viper DDR3 1333mhz memory. My motherboard was set to default by accident so I had to redo my Core i7 920 overclock to 3.8ghz. In the process I think I messed something up. When I run CPU-Z, it says I'm running at 3.8ghz, but my DRAM Frequency says 760mhz. Is...

    MSI Geforce GTX 260 OC - Driver Update??

    I have the MSI N260GTX-T2D896 OC GeForce GTX 260 896MB. It is the overclocked edition. My question is.. if I were to update the drivers, using the latest Nvidia drivers and not the MSI drivers, will my card still stay overclocked? I'm assuming not because I think it was a software overclock in...

    Core i7 Overclock - CPU Life

    I bought a Core i7 920 which I intend to push to 3.8ghz when I pickup the cooler today. I was wondering, what would the consequences be on CPU life if I pushed it to the limit, but did not use harmful voltages and I made sure it's a rock stable overclock? Thanks, Chim

    Does anybody think it will be possible to overclock the Core i7 920 to 3.0ghz on air. I'd rather save the money and get the 920. My new system is spec-ing to be $1500 which is going to be hard to afford as it is, so I'm trying to cut a corner on the CPU. Thanks, Matt
