i7 920 boxed processor If you don t overclock at home, do you need to buy a separate heatsink?

It's enough to use the original fan without overclocking, because the original Intel fan is not bad, X58 are all standard ATX specifications, so you just need to choose a mainstream ATX standard type, but don't buy a small one, TT, power train, Cooler Master and other high-end chassis are more suitable for i7 and GTX280 combination, one thing I remind you is that GTX280 is manufactured with 65nm process, power consumption and performance are not as good as the latest 55nm version of GTX285, ** also more expensive, So it is recommended that you choose the latest GTX285, ** which is about 2999, which is also a little lower than this price.

The boxed ones are already OK.

Due to the length of the GTX280 graphics card, the chassis is best served with TT Tsunami.

..At home, you honestly don't use the i7

Professional enthusiast players don't use it at the hardcore level.

Generally, Q series quad-core.

The platform of P45 + GF9800 is enough for the average player to kill all the games, and the above is off-topic.

The original fan is not overclocked enough.

The chassis is large, the power supply of the chassis is large, the power consumption of this platform is amazing, and the power supply is 500W-800W

It's all about this platform, and the heatsink is actually very cheap, and I'm not referring to the CPU fan, it's the internal cooling fan.

PS with DDR3 memory module 3 root group x58 features 3 channels.

There is no need to buy a radiator separately.

The X58 is the standard ATX specification.

However, considering the size of the graphics card, heat dissipation, installation and other needs, it is more appropriate to buy a mid-tower type. In addition, the current GTX285 graphics card has better performance than GTX280 and is more cost-effective.

The Core i7 920 is a great tool for overclocking. There is also good overclocking potential: it itself is clocked at 133, doubling 20x, voltage, speed.

To set up overclocking, the first step is to set Turbo Mode to Disable. Then adjust it as follows:

1.Without adjusting the voltage, adjust the main frequency to 166, the frequency of the doubling is 20x unchanged, the voltage remains the same, and it is easy to overclock the CPU to run very stable, and the working temperature has barely risen.

2.If you want to continue to super, you can also. Increase the voltage to 180, and keep the frequency doubling constant at 20x, so that the CPU can be overclocked to the point where the operation is still very stable, and the operating temperature rises slightly, but there is no need to replace the CPU fan.

3.I heard that someone can overtake the i7 920, it is estimated that it should be water-cooled, and then further increase the voltage, so it is not recommended here. The landlord can try it himself.
