anyone know whether using intel 975xbx motherboard you can overclock the Pentium D 920 to that of D930. I used to see one article in tomshardware that can do it. Anyone can give a fool proof way to overclock ?

AFAIK, intel's own mobo do not let u o/c at all

perhaps it's different brand of mobo with 975 chipset?

ya.. i have 2 intel mobo and not get any cpu adjustable setting.

ouch im hoping to see some OC result inside this..
anyone bought intel 9series edi?..

Yeah, I'm eager to upgrade my rig to the 920 / 930 too. I called Cycom today and confirm that the 920 is RM 990, which is VERY CLOSE to U.S. Prices. However, Intel announced that they'll reduce their prices on 23rd April making the 920 (2.8GHz Dual core) US$207 and the 930 (3.0GHz) at US$241. Some sites even publish that the 3.0 price will be the same as the 2.8 in April (i.e. US$207 = RM 800!!!) It is certainly worth a wait. Maybe if you all are interested, I can organise a bulk. I got contact in U.S. who can ship the procs over.

Intel's 975 Mobo will have to option to OC. This is the 1st time I have seen an Intel board with OC-ing features.

intel or mobo or mobo with intel chipset?

Best way is to ask Intel. Anyone know the telephone number of intel penang's office technical engineer for motherboard enquiries ? I would like to get them to answer some question. Please help.
By the way, I read another article in Star saying that PC motherboard like 975XBX is actually designed in Penang by one Penang Chap. Anyone happen to know him ?
Any Penang folk from intel here ?

u wan ask wat?wan ask that mobo can oc or not ? intel dun ppl oc their product.

Anyone with this baby pls post your oc result.
I'm considering buying D920/D930 or Opty165/A64 x2 3800+. Need to see the oc result first. Opty 165 can easily go over 2.5GHz which is more than 25% oc. If this baby can give 30% oc, sure I'll go for it.

Actually I want to ask for the tel number and contact person for Intel Malaysia that can answer question on motherboard like 975XBX.
Questions can be asked in many way but not all are related to Overclocked. Any help appreciated

Anyhow, I managed to find out that someone has tried and successfully overclocked their 975XBX motherboard but while I am using pentium D920 (2.8Mhz) the report is based on Pentium 840EE (3.2GHz, 800FSB, Dual-Core, 2x1MB L2, HT).
I would be using Pentium D 920 and ddr2 557Mhz and I wish to increase the processor from 2.8Mhz to say 3.4Mhz (like Pentium 950). and FSB to 800Mhz.


Oh I am a newbie in oveclocking so if anyone can give me a foolproof step by step guide I would most probably buy you a SPA treat.

this is telefon number for Intel Field Sales Office at kuala lumpur : (603) 2733 6677 . if wan penang telefon number then ask them la.

so, basically, what u mean is that u wanna oc your d920 on a mobo with 975 chipset, NOT on intel's 975 mobo, rite?

of coz can. and it's easy

just make sure u get urself a good PSU

I want to overclock on Intel original motherboard "975XBX".
Anyone can show how ?

alritie. got confirmation from anandtech that the mobo is from INTEL and it's one of the first intel mobo that allows o/c

so, now u r asking how to o/c?

read the pin-ups thread in the o/c forum. period.

dun expect to be spoonfed.

and we expect those who purchase high end procs should at least know the basics of o/cing

that mobo really can oc 1 ?

Read above post for answer.

I've seen this board in the labs with Crossfire as well. It allows overclocking either from bios or from IDCC (Intel's own software). There's a burn-in option in the software to allow OC on the fly. Be wary though, warranty due to burnt CPUs/boards might not be entertained.

really ha?that maybe first intel oc-able mobo right?

Nope, there's Intel D955XBK, D955XCS and a few others that already has overclocking capabilities. Shoo shoo, dun be lazy, go and google for info. Google is POWER.
