Hi all. Newbie overclocker here. I've never done i7 OC before and i was wondering if anyone can help me OC my 920 D0 with 12gb 2000Mhz C9 RAM. I just loaded the F7 Bios but which BIOS would you guys recommend? I'm hoping for around 4.2 to 4.4Ghz 24/7 OC.

GPU: XFX 5970 2gb (running at 1Ghz/1300Mhz with Danger Den waterblocks)
PHYSX: GTX260 OC Maxcore (at stock w/ standard air cooling)
RAM: 12gb (6 x 2gb) Kingston HyperX KHX2000C9D3T1FK3 (at default atm using kingston Fans)

You already got the right one (F7 is just fine for your purpose).
I suppose you have to set more than 1.4v VTT to get 2000 MHz RAM-speed stable
