i'd just overclock the 920. If you at all, want to try. I have mine clocked to 4ghz with noctua NHD14. I think it overclocks to like 3.2 ~ 3.4 ghz easy on stock air, or buy a decent cooler,

That imo would be a much more efficient use of your money.

If you don't want to overclock, I'm sure other people will post. Are you going to sell your i7?

I'm one of those weridos that keeps what he buys.

(IE still have both my 250's, and old console's around)

 

Overclocking didn't pass my mind for my CPU.  Sounds like a good idea, probably will go the stock air option to be a cheap ass.

I'd weigh other peoples opinions, and research it before you do it if you decide. Overclocking that processor is simple by  just bumping the BCLK up, and to get a slight boost like I mentioned you don't have to adjust voltage or anything. And if you do something weird reset the CMOS.

However, I'm used to doing this kind of thing, and I don't want you to be having unneeded stress. It shouldn't be stressful. but, I've seen some people do some strange things.

Press F12 or del at post and look around the bios, that might tell you which mobo you have.
