June 13, 201114 yr I have a question on my system before release:Will my system be good for the 737NGX? This is what I have currently, just wondering if someone can tell me if this is ok. I also would like to get into OverClocking my CPU. I don't know anything about this so I just wanted to know if anybody and if the PMDG Tech team/Developers can help me out on this. I would appreciate it Hugely!!System:Motherboard: MSI MSI X58 Pro-E (MS-7522)Chipset: Intel X58Processor: Intel Core i7 940 @ 2933MHz (4 Cores)Physical Memory: 12288MB (6 x 2048 DDR3-SDRAM)Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285Hard Disk: Samsung HD103SJ ATA Device (1000GB)Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate Professional Media Center 6.01.7600 (64-bit)Monitors: 3 x 24 inch (Each 1920 x 1200 @ 60 HZ) Making a total Res. of 4080 x 768 = Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital EditionSo I would really like to know how to get into Overclocking my Intel i7 940!Best Regards,Tristan Best Regards, Tristan Marchent - UK fATPL(A) - EMB 195 First Officer System: Intel i7-6700k Skylake CPU, 4 Cores (4.0-4.2GHz, Overlocked 20%), Asus Z170 PRO GAMING MBO, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 8GB, Corsair Hydro H80i V2 CPU Cooler, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB, Windows 10 Home 64-bit (512GB M.2 PCIe SSD), Prepar3D V4.5 (1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD), 4TB SSHD Hybrid Drive, EVGA GQ 80 PLUS Gold 850W Modular PSU
June 13, 201114 yr I dont think you will have any problems running the ngx i'm sure Vin's computer is a I7-920 oc to 3.2 or 3.6.I have a i7-920 D0 oc @ 4ghz and i'm positive i wont have any problems running the ngx

Do you have any tips for overclocking??

June 13, 201114 yr Hello,I'm a beginner my self u can see my spec from my sig.Multiplier: x21BCLK: 191vcore: 1.32qpi/dram: 1.3dram bus: 1.64Ram timings: 9-9-9-24I've found that anything below 1.32 was to unstable and wouldn't even boot would blue screen after windows reaches login screen.At 1.32 it's perfectly stable I'm currently using corsair H70 as well never seen temps over 70°c
June 13, 201114 yr Commercial Member Read and follow this guide:http://www.techreaction.net/2010/09/07/3-step-overclocking-guide-bloomfield-and-gulftown/Make absolutely POSITIVE you understand exactly what you're doing when you OC, especially when it comes to voltages, BEFORE you do it. One bigtime mistake in particular that I've seen people make is keying in the total voltage you're going for instead of the amount you want it raised by - that's a real easy way to fry your chip.

Now I need to findout what my BIOS Password is :/ As I have forgotten it / don't actually know what it is! :( Best Regards, Tristan Marchent - UK fATPL(A) - EMB 195 First Officer System: Intel i7-6700k Skylake CPU, 4 Cores (4.0-4.2GHz, Overlocked 20%), Asus Z170 PRO GAMING MBO, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 8GB, Corsair Hydro H80i V2 CPU Cooler, Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200 C16 2x8GB, Windows 10 Home 64-bit (512GB M.2 PCIe SSD), Prepar3D V4.5 (1TB Samsung 850 EVO SSD), 4TB SSHD Hybrid Drive, EVGA GQ 80 PLUS Gold 850W Modular PSU
June 13, 201114 yr I used this onehttp://www.overclock.net/intel-cpus/538439-guide-overclocking-core-i7-920-930-a.htmlPete Walsh. Running i5-9600K @ 4.8ghz - 32GB DDR4 3200mhz - GTX 3070.

June 13, 201114 yr Head over to Hardware Discussions, "MOBO, RAM, CPUs & Other Hardware" Lots of info and Overclockers who i am sure can give you some useful tips.Regards, Rick Hobbs
June 13, 201114 yr Commercial Member What cooler do you have too? Do not try to OC on the stock cooler if that's what it is. Ryan MaziarzFor fastest support, please submit a ticket at http://support.precisionmanuals.com
June 13, 201114 yr go to overclockers.com they have an overclocking tutorial that you can print out and it covers the important key basics especially with specific voltages that need to be setbill
June 14, 201114 yr Overclock.net all the way these guys no Their stuff and guided me right thru it :( Rich Rich Sennett
June 14, 201114 yr The first time I OC'd, I miscalculated the voltage and killed the proc... all comes with the OC'ing game... accept it, or don't OC.
