    By the way. which services does EVGA E-LEET use? Since I heavily tweaked my WinXP and only have a few services running (the ones I need) E-LEET doesn't work. Thanks :)

    please explain how you did that with the e-leet ultility
    when i start e-leet and go to the "overclocking" tab i can see the turbo-mode-multipliers. its x22 for core1 and x21 for core2...4.
    but when i change any of the slider and hit "apply selection" it gets reverted to its default setting? what am i doing wrong?

    You cannot set QPI through the E-Leet utility in the D900F, only the turbo mode boosters,
    Gophns friend did de-compile the program and change it so you could but he will not share it for safety reasons...

    i know, but i cant even change the turbo mode boosters - which is i think because i dont have an "extreme" cpu...
    i am just wondering how Tom Royls could overclock his i7-920 to 3.6GHz with e-leet, like he said?

    I and some friends have moded it in some freelesons at school, my teatcher came in yesterday so I wasen't able to write this Information throw my last Post.

    But you can Try to use the ASRock tool to overclock, it have sometimes worked.

    It would be phenomenal if someone could indeed spend some time modding both ASRock or/and E-LEET. None of them work in the state they are. ASRock freezes if any of the multiplier/FSB settings are changed and E-LEET doesn't work at all period.

    I for one, would be glad to help pay for someone's work if successful. After spending so much money on the 900F, Id be more than happy to get a few extra dollars loose to help someone get it overclocked. Hopefully I'm not alone and this can motivate someone to spend some time getting it done. A working overclocking utility for the 900F should be worth to all of us at least to pay for the time spending in getting it developed.

    Ill pitch-in 50 bucks with huge smile on my face if needed on my end to get this done, no sweat.

    I have a hard time believing "safety reasons". There are built in power limits to these systems that you can call "safety limits". Without being able to adjust those power limits there should be no concern. Then again I know very little about the D900F....maybe there are bios options for adjusting the TDP and TDC.

    Not safety in that sense, i meant in the sense that if you blow up your chip you could hold him responsible...

    I second VeEuzUKY on that point, i would also be quite happy to pay for these options to be unlocked, any software devs out there looking for a quick bit of cash :)

    All they need is a little disclaimer. Saying you have something but won't give it out in the end means squat. You might as well never have said it existed in the first place.

    It could also be the fact that he de-compiled someone else's program to modify it... which is often a big no-no. Making it publicly available would just compound the issue.

    But CPU-Z has an SDK that you can modify?

    Gophn's friend de-compiled the EVA E-LEET utility, though, which I'm not sure is public modifiable. After all, a big thing in most of the software licensing agreements that you hit "accept" to when you install them is "You will not de-compile or reverse engineer this software in any way."

    Ok , how do you overclock using software or what? What program do u have to use? Also has anyone been able to overclock the D900F with i7-920 as it quite weird as the desktop with i7-920 can easily be overclocked? Is it because of special desktop motherboard or something?

    The D900f bios does not allow overclocking. Nor will any software enable you to change the blk on the 920, or any non-extreme chip.

    Evidently Gophin was able to use evga's eleet software to move the unlocked multiplier to achieve some oc's with the 975/965 extreme cpu's.

    I took my 960 out of the lappy and OC'd it to 5.1Ghz on my classified mobo....but sadly, it's confined to it's 3.2Ghz in the D900F.

    Dude, I don't care about what everyone else say about their "amazing" and mysterious overclocking experiences and "magical tweaked" overclocking apps. The bull never ends. Bottom line, YOU CANT OVERCLOCK THE 900F. This thread should be taken down, it's a totally misleading waste of time!

    But a lot of users ears aren't clear as they have a buttload of earwax clogging them.

    Sorry to all, I was not really yelling. My point is, the 900F cannot be overclocked, period. Its a waste of time of some members to keep posting questions on a fact that is total redundancy. Anyone here is yet to get any proof of the few that claim they overclocked their machines, and that is because, they didn't. No matter of claims of tweaked app or optimized code or whatever else. Till the code is available for us to test it (naturally at our own liability), it doesn't exist. Impossible for the few overclocking winners here not to share their findings expect that they didn't find anything. Or really... if I found a way to overclock my 900F Id keep it to myself so that everyone else "doesn't damage their laptops". Come on... Instead of dreaming on how to overclock the 900F by any means other than paid research, we might as well be doing something else. I posted long ago Id pitch 100 bucks to pay for the development for a software tool that works. It only takes more people to join and find someone to go do it. If I was a programmer I'd do it myself but I really don't know the first things about computers or code of any kind. Heck if I was the only one to pay for this and was still worth the price for what I paid for this while laptop + an EE CPU, Id still give it away for everyone here to share it.

    Maybe you should try inviting those guys for a beer. In order to be politically correct I would also not give the BIOS on a public site.
