Dear All

Finally, after a lot of thinking and confusion what to get, Core i5 or Core i7, I have got Core i7 920 with Asus P6T-SE Motherboard with Corsair Dominator 3 GB 1600 Bus Ram,

Unfortunately, due to low demand of Core i7 and due to arrival of Core i5, our computer dealers have decided to cut off Core i7 supply, to spread Core i5, which is more affordable,

Due to this reason, nowadays, it is very difficult to find 1366 based Asus motherboard for core i7, Core i7 itself is short and could be found at a few shops,
RAM prices have become almost double of only one month old prices,

The big issue was to get Asus motherboard, as I always satisfy with Asus more than any other motherboard manufacturer,
After a lot of search, I found only this motherboard, which also supports LGA 775 coolers, which is a plus point,
I would go for Core i5, if I could not find Asus motherboard,


The processor easily reaches 4 GHz with 1.25 vcore, with stable gaming and other applications,
However, it requires 1.29 vcore, to run Prime95 stable, which can be ignored,

At 4.2 GHz, it is stable with 1.32 vcore for gaming and 1.35 vcore for Prime95,

Special thanks to Zeshan bhai (Digitalism) for his cooperation and valuable suggestions and guidance in this regards,
Also thanks to Baber Kamal who provided me a partial AS5 tube for free, which I have used it 5~6 time,

Below are a few pictures and benchmarks,

Your comments and suggestions always help me to improve my things

Congrats on the purchase, imo i7 is a better purchase atm...
right, i hope that Core i7 will be similar to my 2006 update, when i had jumped from Athlon 2800+ to core 2 due E6300 with Asus P5B-Deluxe, which served me more than two years

Great Zeshan bhai,
your comments and recommendations always help me a lot
you have spent your valuable time to guide me in this regard, otherwise i was in deep confusion
your i7 920 is better, due to same overclocking at lower vcore, of course your motherboard is playing its role
