Did you come from a 920 and if so was it worth it? Also what voltage and speed are you running at?

I came from a i7 920 D0 that I was running at 3.2ghz undervolted at 1.18v. My 930 seems to be a better clocker since I've currently got it at 3.4ghz and 1.18v. I've ran 8hrs of prime so far and have it running while I'm at work. If I get home and it's ran 18+ hours by then I'm gonna try 3.5 with 1.18v. I'm happy with the move how about you?

Post overclocking results, speeds, volts, compare to your 920.

If you are still playing around with clocks and voltages, you might as well use IBT for stability testing; it's so much faster to see the results. Only use P95 after you are satisfied with your clocks and IBT stable.

I've never been a fan of IBT. I can run IBT forever and still be unstable.
