   i7 920? not worth the buy right now in my opinion.. Stick with Phenom II x4 965/955/945 it can do basically the same thing except hyper-threading.

   I used either 1.72v or 1.76v to get it to 2050mhz

   You’re right that it’s both the GPU and CPU since both perform calculations on your game loop, however, I think you’re overestimating, by a lot, the choke point where the CPU chokes the GPU.

   I can’t find the article with the graph in question but if you go over [H]ard|OCP they do have a graph showing the choke between GPU and CPU and the CPU had to go amazingly low to choke the GPU. (IIRC, of course).

   Seems kinda dangerous. I have to go with 3.8ghz, I think over 4 ghz is overboard lol,

    Typically about 4/4.2 GHz with good aftermarket air cooling.

    I’ve heard of stable air cooling speeds nearing 5 GHz (under 100% usage).

    Before you do anything, I would suggest you do a lot of reading. Read at least 4 full articles on overclocking and cooling before attempting anything.

    It’s important you learn as much as you can before doing rather than learning while doing.

    How high could I overclock with a coolermaster v8 CPU cooler or any other cooler to be exact?

    You can just bump the bclk from 133 to whatever mines at 200 then increase the cpu vcore for a basic oc, the things to watch for are tempreture of the cpu and dont go to high with the voltage maybe try bclk 150 and cpu v core of 1.25v to gibve you 3.2ghz onstead of 2.66ghz this will run quite comfortably on the stock fan.

    i know NOTHING about overclocking..
    my set up is
    core i7 920
    Intel DX58SO motherboard
    6gig DDR3 RAM
    Nvidia 280.

    can i just bump my settings to what this guy has or is there anything i have to keep in mind?

    FPS is caused from the GPU and CPU if you had a CPU at 2.6GHz it would Bottleneck a really good GPU and cause you to have worse FPS

    why did u bench games like farcry2 and other games? those game performances are from the GPUs. U can have same fps even the 920 at stock speed.

    the GTX295 is a hybrid… it has 240 streamprocessors per gpu (same as 280) but it has the 896mb per gpu as the 260 + the same clocks as the 260
