i7 920 @ 4.3GHz - EVGA X58 (Air Cooling)

[JacobF]

Some testing on the EVGA X58, with the Core i7 CPU.

100% Air Cooling

Still testing the max QPI...

Damn...Today is 11/06, but bios date is 11/07........lol

[dinos22]

maybe bios was made in taiwan :p

it 11/7 here 2pm as well :p:

sweet clocks there jakup >>> 216x20 :D :rocker:

[ColonelCain]

So, I am guessing that the rumors about increasing the QPI link speed being dangerous was FUD?

Also, what are your temps like?

Lastly, how the heck did Andre get banned?!?! :confused:

[NeedMoMegaHurtZ]

Wow nice!

Looks like a retail chip C0/C1 ? or is CPU-z not reading correctly?

I'd also like to see temps please, and what cooler?

Thx for sharing the early results

[JacobF]

It is a retail chip.

Cooler is a Tuniq Tower :D I will get back on the temps...

[Xel'Naga]

It is a retail chip.

Cooler is a Tuniq Tower :D I will get back on the temps...
Can you disable the TDP limit on retail non-Extreme CPUs?

[ZoLKoRn]

wow 4.3g on air! nice clock jAkUp :up: and look like retail chip better over es :)



Wow nice!

i guess im just used to dirt cheap ram these days :D
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm early days...keepin my eye on the price.

[BulldogPO]

Wow. Keep going for higher QPI.

[Planet]

Yea bios was made in Taiwan which is hours ahead of US. Nice results Jacob.

[Oliver]

thx for postin Jakup

im looking forward to see the board screaming

[FUGGER]

Nice board for the 920/940 chips for sure :up:

[Oliver]

Nice board for the 920/940 chips for sure :up:
ya with the 920 and 940s is all about getting the qpi pushed, when we are talking about retails

[Pt1t]

:) Can you boot to 216mhz Bclk ?

[nosboost300]

where did you get the board?? i see tankguys.com has the 920

[SAE]

Wow! :slobber:

That QPI is insane considering 220 the limit. Great work, great board! :up:

P.S. Is anything stable at these clocks or just screeny taken? Cooling might also make the difference here.

[dinos22]

rly
is QPI limit 220 :S

[emoners]

hmm E-LEET...will it be exclusive for EVGA mobos?

[Hoboclese]

What's the board like to work with? Or is it you tell me then have to kill me?
anyway nice clocks

[coo-coo-clocker]

awesome result Jakup.
Show us the memory numbers...

[Pt1t]

Wow! :slobber:

That QPI is insane considering 220 the limit. Great work, great board! :up:

yes :p i think limit will be pushed to 250 :p

[.p4nzer]

Nice result...

I like core i7... Too bad it will cost too much until the next year.

Bye

[tiborrr]

Indeed, that's some nice high QPI clockin'!

[Planet]

where did you get the board?? i see tankguys.com has the 920

Jacob works for EVGA. :yepp:

[JacobF]

Some temps. This is at the same clocks.

I will get some memory numbers next :)

[Roliath]

Are you just testing this, or will this setup eventually take over your QX setup?

[evil-98]

jAkUp, your in chino? i work in chino :up:

you got the 920 retail? where at? the EVGA x58 is looking good

[vservera]

niceeee 4.3GHz on 1.5v good you m8

[Fitseries3]

was 4.3ghz easy to attain?

[crosshairs]

Man,just when I was getting used to my Yorkfield..

Well, there goes the savings acct again..:)

[dinos22]

lol jakup get a proper 1M app from XS server :p:

[George_o/c]

Jakup nice tests dude ! :up: Seems that, that new EVGA board got some potential :yepp: ;)
But please, download SPi Mod V1.5 XS (http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/) :D

Dinos, your sig rocks :ROTF: It wasn't a fixed match, the one between Massa and Hamilton :rofl:

[FlanK3r]

Its 100% stable? give us wprime screen ,-) ...

[Razzz]

Nice 4.3GHz. Are you able to push it even more or is this your maximum?

[WaterFlex]

Good chip! Nice work!

[TheBob]

Nice overclock. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.

[drnip]

Very nice Jacob. I am excited about these x58's. I am sure you know but for those that don't Shamino hit 5239.54 mhz with the extreme edition and that board here (http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=623700&mpage=1&key=򘑔).

[JacobF]

Some quick memory numbers, still going higher...

http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/4606/56882948ud0.png

[T_Flight]

Jackup,
do you know when we will be able to get one of these and what they might cost? I'm liking this board, and have a freind that works for EVGA and is a mod at their forums. I like EVGA's service and this board looks like it will really rock.

I want the best. :)

[HDCHOPPER]

exellent clocking man !

[JacobF]

Board will be available on launch.

Check this out :D Turbo mode is awesome, all air cooling BTW:

[JacobF]

Now lets see what is Prime95 stable.

4.2GHz is really easy, and really stable!

http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/5776/primeli4.png

[HDCHOPPER]

that is killer air ! time for ln2:D

[JacobF]

Are you just testing this, or will this setup eventually take over your QX setup?

This will definitely take over my current setup!

Oh yea, I can't forget the shot of the board running in 3-way SLI mode :D

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/788/3wayof7.jpg

[GAR]

can i run crossfire on bottom 2 slots at 16x/16x?? i need the pci-e 1x slot for x-fi

[FlanK3r]

Ok, 4.2GHz stable, with brutal Vcore and better aircoller. But, good work :).

[JacobF]

can i run crossfire on bottom 2 slots at 16x/16x?? i need the pci-e 1x slot for x-fi

You can run an X-FI in any 16x slot.

[GAR]

I know, but i was wondering if it was possible to use the bottom 2 pci-e at 16x, also what mounting kit did you use for the tuniq tower??

[DStealth]

....
4.2GHz is really easy, and really stable!


Wow almost a minute...and large FFTs :ROTF:

Nice QPI through :up:

[coo-coo-clocker]

Niiiice! 2550M bandwidth. Wow!
When's launch again?!?!

[Solid Snake]

Nice board and nice score on air :up:

[JacobF]

Wow almost a minute...and large FFTs :ROTF:

Nice QPI through :up:

Yes very stable. It is still going while I type this message BTW :D

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/405/41371151qk8.png

[JacobF]

I know, but i was wondering if it was possible to use the bottom 2 pci-e at 16x, also what mounting kit did you use for the tuniq tower??

I believe that the bottom slot is 8x PCIe. Remember that it is 2.0 though so you still have a lot of PCIe bandwidth.

[dinos22]

how many CPUs did you test before you found this one :p::p::p:

[dpa]

almost 4.2GHz is GOOD on air, that stable ;)

anybody knows the max voltage over time for these nehalems? 1.51v seems a littlebit high...? 40-50% over stock :(

temps jakup?

Full load temps are around 65c or so, but remember that I am using a Tuniq Tower Socket 775 cooler with modified with ties so that it can work :D I would not trust my temps as real world situations :) Since it is not mounted properly.

Here is a preview at the OC utility that will be bundled with the EVGA X58.

nice ... would come in handy for sure :)

[SuperFly03]

Unreal results from Nehalem. I'm severely impressed. I only wish my lolly CPA career could pay for a such a beast.

Great job man. :)

[tombman]

Jakub, please show us 1 hour prime95 with SMALL FFT at > 4 Ghz and vcore < 1.4volt.

No sense in destroying the cpu at 1.5 vcore and fooling us at 1 Minute prime ;)

thx

*picture*

Nice, looks like clockgen ;)

Nice speed on air, Jackup! BCLK ist very nice. :toast:

[Oliver]

thx for posting and ya Fr3ak its looking like clockgen hehe

[emoners]

nice OC Utility jAkUp! :up: would it be exclusive on EVGA boards?

[AuDioFreaK39]

Jacob, what do you have the PWM frequency set at? And how's the temperature of the mosfets?

[MrHydes]

http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?news=MzYwMTAsLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdCwsLDE=

nice review ocing on this processor - rock solid stablity :up:

[golfjam]

I wanted a Gigabyte or Asus for my next X58 mobo. Not anymore. Great job!

[TiTON]

Jacob,

Very nice results :)

Ton

[Particle]

Thoroughly impressive results.

[Planet]

how many CPUs did you test before you found this one :p::p::p:

Just this and a 965 I think.

[Pt1t]

Yes very stable. It is still going while I type this message BTW :D

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/405/41371151qk8.png


Could you make cpuz validation during prime ? The guys of cpuz said me that passed 4ghz , core i7 got never all core OCed during load.

[luie]

Impressive.

[zlojack]

**This is not a flame, just curious and trying to get an idea of what's going on**

1.52v? That seems pretty high considering we've seen longer Prime runs at 1.36v

And 18 minutes of Prime isn't exactly 24/7 stable.

It's great for benching at those speeds, but what could you operate at full time?

Again, not trying to be negative, just looking for more information to help me decide which board to get.

[R3APER]

What speed memory does the evga mobo support trying to decide on wether this mobo is suitable for me

[vservera]

that is mean :) nice work m8

[woffen]

If I were to mount a TRUE vertically on this board, would the cooler go beyond the mobos edges?

I have a V2000 and there is almost no room for a cooler mounted vertically. This board seems to have the socket closer to the mobos edge than for example the RIIE.

[Prince21]

Whats the noise level like of the system?

[Boyne7]

those are some awesome clocks there. Pretty much sold me on the evga board, should be picking one up in a few days.

[miahallen]

Thanks for the post Jacob, keep pushing it...when are you going sub-zero?

[Planet]

Jacobs a nub :p: he only runs air. Nice colors Miah

[Buckeye]

Can't wait to setup a 965 which is inbound to my Jinu Phase and see what it can do.

I also see that EVGA's board has 10 SATA ports. I may give that a try first to see how it handles the 8x MTRON's in Raid 0, 1 more will be added shortly for 9x total, really the only option if a TRI SLI setup is used. Hopefully the ARC-1231ML can run nicely on this board also.

[jasonelmore]

So does the EVGA X58 Board support Triple Lane 16X or is it like the rest of the X58 boards and just has Two 16X's and one 8X?

[AnXioZ]

1 x16
2 x8

if you use all three of em

[Glow9]

So 2 things. Did Supox engineer this board for EVGA?
With turbo mode, do you find your highest stable OC for regular mode then from here hit turbo? or how do you get it all to work since I see a lot of people turning it off?

[AuDioFreaK39]

Mine are already here and delivered. :D Can't wait to get home in an hour or so and unleash the Nehalem madness.

So his avatar is just for looks? :rolleyes:

Colors in my sig?....Thanks:shrug:

edit: Never mind...I get it (CHAMPIONS :D )

[jasonelmore]

no he does'nt only run air.. thats stupid.. Jacob is a tech for EVGA.. go to evga.com and look at the "Mods Rigs" department.. He has a Jino Phase on his other rig..

[miahallen]

no he does'nt only run air.. thats stupid.. Jacob is a tech for EVGA.. go to evga.com and look at the "Mods Rigs" department.. He has a Jino Phase on his other rig..

Settle down, CPT.Planet also works for eVGA and knows Jacob personally. I'm sure it's all in fun:p:

[jasonelmore]

well then he should know that jakob does'nt "just" use air.

[Planet]

It was a joke man chill. I was just busting his balls. I know he has a Jinu SS on his cpu at home.

[Gautam]

Infraction needed for Cpt. Planet?

[Planet]

I thinkg G*a**m needs one. Post reported

[ReverendMaynard]

already making friends here Mr. Elmore?

People will start to realize why you're perma banned at EOCF pretty shortly.

[jasonelmore]

if i'm permabanned then your really a reverend ;)

[Gautam]

Any more lip from Cpt. Planet and he gets perma-banned.

[zlojack]

What's with the trolling?

[jas420221]

Those are some very solid results!!!!


What's with the trolling?Ask Jason... hes the one that called out a member not knowing that the 2 are friends. It looks like he was banned at EOCF as well according to Rev. That doesnt bode to well for him here either.

[Dumo]

Nice result there Jakup:up:

Probly I missed in this thread.....Where can peeps find this board?

[Chaos116886]

will this support tri sli all in 16x?

[jas420221]

16x / 8x / 8x I thought... or maybe that was another board...

[jasonelmore]

the only boards that are going to support Tri 16X SLI are the N200 Boards nvidia has yet to release.. Most X58 Boards will do 16X-16X or 16x-8x-8x

[Chaos116886]

Do we have any clues on when the boards with the NV200 chip will launch?

[NBF]

Nice work jAkUp! Keep us posted :up:

I have mine on its way trough the sea, hopefully it will get here in 10 days :rofl:

[Bad_dude]

This will definitely take over my current setup!

Oh yea, I can't forget the shot of the board running in 3-way SLI mode :D

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/788/3wayof7.jpg

It looks like you are using the Tuniq Tower 120, how did you get that LGA775 cooler to fit the LGA1366?
Please get us on the mod or bracket you bought to make it fit.
Thanks,

[SixtyninNaMoose]

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and pretty new to pc upgrading and have no experience overclocking. I know I'm a nube, but I play pc games and use autocad software and order my custom built desktop to allow me to run the best settings possible. I built my pc with limited knowledge of what hardware was highly rated, but lately and pretty much since i got my pc its been running sluggish and gaming kinda sucks, but autocad runs great. I'm in the process of upgrading my ram, power supply and adding a 3rd geforce gts 250 to run in sli mode. What I'd really like doing is overclocking my intel i7 920 from 2.6ghz to 4ghz like shown in this thread. I'd really appreciate any help given and will do my best to learn. Can someone teach me how to do this overclocking or can you direct to some help?

Thanks for any help in advance, I know nubes can be annoying.

[fr0wn3r]

Ello! Welcome to the forum! :)

Search some threads on OC of 920, there are plenty of those around here. Also read up on some X58 experiences, if possible find the threads where you can read data on your specific motherboard.
Then when you understand the basics and get the general picture I'm sure some of the OC gurus will help you and you will be able to understand them when they guide you... Do not rush with it and hope you do have some decent cooling solution. Good luck! :)
