Core i7 930 – EVGA SLI LE Overclocking [Tutorial]

Posted on May 5, 2011 by

Check out this *secret* site where it’ll show you a cool trick that actually TRIPLES your PC’s performance… Plus tons more!

The Ultimate CPU Overclocking Guide!
I have had a few people ask me how to overclock the 930. Now these arent the best settings in the world;however, they are what made my PC stable 247. Please make sure you do this in a slow gradual process and be patient with it. I myself did not get to 4.0GHz right away, I went through trial and error and I suggest you do the same. Unless youre a long time overclocker and youre just lazy, then feel free to copy my settings. If youre a first timer, please try to learn from this.

    @zeptonify I have 930 @ 3,9ghz. Using Prolimatech’s Megahalems with push-pull fans (one 110CFM for push, 60CFM for pull) and it’s smooth and stable

    what bios version was this? because i had my chip OC’d fine a few months back, but i updated the bios and now i cant get it to boot OC’d, im thinking its something with the bios.

    ow you have a h50 ,cool.
    then i got my answer already. :)
    i would have bought 2000 mhz mems
    then you could put the mem multiplyer on 10x instead of 8x
    i think it would have been better since you got he cpu multiplyer on 20x-22x
    it should be more stable.

    @Sm0kaCola
    i thought the default multiplyer was 20x , so on 22x you already put it higher right.
    or am i wrong?

    well anywways 22x is more then enough
    4.0 ghz =4000/22=190 bclk
    190x mem multiplyer 10x =1900mhz Ram (2000mhz dimms)
    mmmm,lol

    or bclk 200
    thats 200x22x= 4.4 ghz
    200x10x= 2000mhz Ram dimms

    wow
    you think i can run 4.0ghz with this processor and a h50 or h70
    or will it get to hot?

    I have a acer aspire m7721 with i7 930 and i can’t do that thing you did because when i press frequency/voltage control there only comes this thing called "spread spectrum" wtf!

    why don’t you use the EVGA programs they provide?

    So would using the x21 muiltiplier @ 191 block speed be better then using x20 muiltiplier @ 200 block speed? Idk why but it seems like a wierd setting to me using x21muilitplier as it makes the RAM run it 1520mhz instead of 1600mhz when you use the x20 muiltiplier option.

    I like the overclocking core i7 because core i7 very strong and power up

    @ThatGuyWill1993 Depends. Stock cooler will be a bad idea, but an after-market cooler can achieve 4ghz, but I think it’s pushing it and would max only at 3.6ghz for me. Would be best to go liquid cooling, not the H50 or Asetek, but a genuine liquid cooling set.

    is overclocing the 930 to 4ghz going to damage the chip.

    Hey man, very informative vid for someone like me with little knowledge on overclocking. I have a question though. just out of curiosity what are your idle and full load temps? And what should i try and keep them under? Thanks for any info you can provide, keep up the good work.

    @MrPumpkinmanSWE Not 100% sure on that but I’m going to say yes, You’ll definitely get cooler temps than the 930 at the same clock speeds. I believe the 950 has a higher multiplier so achieving those higher clocks will be easier.

    Do you know if you can get any better results with the i7 950 and if there is anything else you should/ shlould not change?

    @hellowsaw well what benefit is there other than a little more speed? It’s not like I am going to play games on it much ( I have an xbox which I prefer) and the most intensive thing I am doing is Flash and photoshop plus video editing (after effects and premiere)

    i have the same board and cpu, i have clocked at 3.67 183×20, and my memory running at 1460mhz at timings 11-11-11-29-88. however when i tune my memory to 9-9-9-25-34 it doesn’t boot up even at 1.60volts ??

    @soccersport I Would try re-seating the heatsink first just to make sure, if temps are still too hot I Would purchase some OCZ Freeze.

    @Sm0kaCola the stock paste that came with the cooler. Should I buy better paste?

    @soccersport What thermal paste did you use?
