"It's that time again folks! In our ever popular series of overclocking guides, we've covered most of the Intel chipsets from the launch of Core 2 Duo. Overclocking the C2D platform was really easy once you got to know what everything did, i7 is no exception, and in many ways, the basics are the same, however, there are a few new things to get to grips with, and that's exactly what we're going to do in this guide.

The i7 platform has been around for a few months now and has become quite popular, especially in enthusiast circles. I've tried out many motherboards from different manufacturers and my favourite, bar none is the Asus P6T Deluxe OC palm (Just P6T from here on in). I will be using the P6T in the guide and I will be referencing its BIOS settings throughout - I'll also be using an Intel i7 920 DO processor and some Corsair Dominator 1600MHz memory, a triple channel, 6GB kit to be exact, more on the hardware side of things later."
