We've seen how the "Core" performance lies, but what about stretching the value of a new i7 920 purchase that much more? With an RRP of $284 it’s not exactly a Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 territory bargain, but it's the cheapest of the new Core i7 CPUs by a large margin.
What potential does $284 buy you though? The Q6600s clocked to between 3.0 and 3.6GHz usually, although inevitably there are some people out there with some serious skills having eked out over 4GHz.
But with a new architecture comes a new way to overclock - we'll walk you through how to get a solid overclock out of the Core i7 920 on two of the latest motherboards, describing what BIOS settings we found worked.
