Entry level Core i7 920 quite the clocker

tofu · Nov 6, 2008

Was looking at hordes and hordes of Core i7 reviews and found none that gave overclocking performance of the low end chips. With the 920 starting at under $300 this chip may be a real winner :rockout:

I must say, I didn't notice that at first. But it does give an indication that the QPI frequency won't be a limiting factor to i7 overclocks.

Yeah I posted a thread about Bit-Tech's bash at OC'ing the 920. I was planning on getting the 920 anyway, but the fact it can hit 4GHz is pretty freakin' sweet! I'm waiting for reviews of Foxconn's Bloodrage now.
