Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   I'm considering trying OC'ing on my next machine.  (Waiting for Win 7)
Which Core I7 is best OC'er? 920 940 or 950 or 965 or 975?

Say I OC my CPU only and it overheats too much would it ruin CPU only
or kill my MB Ram as well?

Thanks

	Hello pdwe, Most people think the 920 is the best, because the core i7's overclock pretty close to each other, and it will cost you much less. Overclocking too much will fry your CPU, and I haven't heard of many people killing their motherboards because of it. Maybe if you up the voltages too much you could.
