    Has anyone figured out how to overclock the cpu in the as6920g yet?
    I found a thread from a couple of years back where some people had looked into it, but after that nothing.

    If anyone knows if this is possible now please point me in the right direction!

    You have already met ThrottleStop, so invite X9000 to the party and call it a day :D On a serious note, I'm not very sure, but there is no way to overclock it with your current CPU. There's a PLL Pinmod overclocking thread and even though a user said that he succeeded overclocking a 5920G, I never made it. Well, he has 667MHz FSB CPU, where I was trying to overclock 800MHz FSB CPU (T9500 back then), so this could be the reason I couldn't, who knows. Your CPU is 800MHz FSB (SantaRosa max supported) as well, that's why I guess there is no way.

    For the price of the CPU's to fit the 6920g It isn't worth messing around.

    I picked up a T9300 for measly money.

    If I'm not mistaken 6920g have that same motherboard like 8920g, hence everything whats involved with oc'ing 8920g should be applied to oc 6920g. You have or RTM875t-606 or ICS9lprs365 pll. To use setfsb You have to ground pin 4 to remove oc blockade.
