I got my computer system last fall and I got it with an I7 920 P6T and 6gig ram ddr. I was wondering if its still able to oc to 3.3 or 3.5 even though its not a deluxe model. Any suggestions?
thanks.

I ran mine for a week or so at 4.2, then cut back b/c it was too hot here in the texas sun. I'm at 3.82 right now 24/7 stable running DC.

my only extra is that I have a TRUE with fans in push/pull. full load temps right now are ~ 66c.

a bclk of 166 should be a given. that will turbo up to near 3.5 and be doable at stock settings for everything else presuming your ram is at least 1333. I've even got a slight cpu undervolt going for that. Only proviso I can think of would be to manually set all voltages to spec...I don't know how Asus boards behave with auto voltages, but my gigabyte board way over-do them.

I've been running mine at 4Ghz for over a year on the P6t. Solid as a rock.

edit: using Noctua NH-U12P with 2 fans for cooling

Why does it have to be a "Deluxe" model for such a moderate overclock? Just make sure the chipset and CPU stay cool enough, and go for it!
