C'mon, from what I've heard even a monkey can get those Core i7 920's close to 4 Ghz!

Seriously, the good news is there have been so many posts about OC'ing the i7 920 that there will be plenty of helping hands for you. 🙂

I beg to differ...most individuals will throw around statements like that to ensure their "e-penis" is erect. A "normal" OC for a i7 on air is probably more like 3.2~3.6Ghz. After that, thermals take over and you may post, you may even get into windows, but only a few and I mean a few are really 24/7 stable.

Yes i think you'll end up between ~ 3.4 - 3.6 ghz.

Good luck.
