Newb here at XS.... Have been lurking for a bit though.

I have the RIIE (Taiwan Version) and an i7 920 purchased from Microcenter.


I am currently running @ 20x200 w/HT on, 1.275 vcore, and 1.275 qpi. I will post all my settings when I get home.

I have run 10 loops (runs?) of IBT (maximum stress) with max temp of 79c (using a TRUE 120). Finishes with zero errors. I have run Prime for about 6 hours without any problems either.

Did I get a really good chip, or am I missing something? Everything seems stable. I play BC2 without issue, L4D2, HAWX. I've ripped a couple of movies.

I am just really curious because most of these posts I am seeing people running at 1.3xxx and up so I'm not really sure how I am seemingly able to run at a much lower voltage.

This is a serious post as well. I'm not trying to troll, or anything of the sort. Just want to make sure I am doing everything right. This is my first ever higher end setup, so I am trying to learn what all these BIOS settings are for and how I should be going about my OC.
