Also, i have another question. I have an i7 920 with the stock cooler, but i got it somewhat early (April 2009). I don't know if it's one of the D0 stepping chips that overclock better, or one of the older chips where you need to be a bit more careful.

Can i see that from the BIOS or a diagnostic tool, or do i need to open the case,
downlaod teh program CPU-Z..

there install will tell you wither CO or DO revision... CO OC too it just takes more power .. ie get hotter so with stock cooler wont go as far.. DO should gt to 3.4 on stock volts easily.. i have mine at 3.8 on stock volts, however i have a powerful air cooler
