Need help overclocking. I was a AMD fan till they fell behind INTEL.

Got my core i7 920 @ 3.8Ghz 19X200.

I don't know what all the voltages are for in BIOS.I have them set to as fallows.

VCORE 1.256v

DIMM 1.65v "I know this is for the RAM"

QPI PPL Vcore 1.25v

CPU PLL VCore 1.7v

IOH Vcore 1.275v

CPU VTT Voltage stock 1.1v have set to +300mv = 1.4v I think

IOH/ICH I/0 1.6v

ICH Vcore 1.15v

Need help to find out if some of them are to high or too low. Got my CPU to 3.5Ghz stock voltage but my RAM was only at 700Mhz now its at 800Mhz with the CPU at 3.8Ghz. Any help would be nice. Sorry I'm kinda new to the whole forum thing. If you need any more info let me know.

SYSTEM

INTEL CORE i7 @ 3.8Ghz
Mainboard EVGA X58 SLI E758
OCZ GOLD 1600 DDR3 at 800Mhz Timings 9-9-9-24 CR 1T

    :hair: Vcore=2.56v is a typo right? The default voltage range is 0.800V-1.375V.

    I urge you to reset your BIOS and take some time to read about overclocking your components. Don't play with the voltages without knowing what they are and what is the safe range. Always start overclocking at the default voltages and increase with very small increments only after it is needed while monitoring the stability and temperatures under load. Just a friendly warning :)

    That's a dangerous vCore. What heatsink are you running?

    The Voltage I have are safe got them of the EVGA web site for overclocking. I even reduced a lot of the Voltages. I posted here to see if people could help me learn about the voltages since the there web site was no help. I thought this was a place to learn and help people with there hardware and overclocking. Was i wrong?

    Using stock cooling. I'm going to try to get my Tuniq Tower 120 to work on the LGA 1366.
