my goodness dude

first 965 retail and now 940 retail results

where are you finding all this gear :D

great work
saw the benchmarks up on the bot today :up:

[cabbspapp]

Nice. How hot do these things run?

[revogamer]

there in stock in nz, i920s,i940s,i965s, i got em all sitting in front of me :P all retail

- they run quite hot, not so much idle, but load, with the TRUE i see 70s and 80s easy load

the i965 aint any better than the i940 for clocking on air?

[loc.o]

Was waiting for results like yours, thank you very much. The i940 is getting more and more interesting for me.

Dont know about NZ, but in EU all models are in stock already, and also a lot of different mobo´´s :D


Nice results man :toast:

[Oliver]

good work

and ya Kenneth, for once denmark is in the better end regarding availability

[HDCHOPPER]

thanks for the post
this 940 is looking better all the time

[Khalmyr]

In Paris they also have the 3 processors and a few boards for sale already

Very nice work :)

[ZoLKoRn]

Very good to see results from first i7 940 posted and it looking good :up:

Thank you for sharing revogamer ;)

[Slovnaft]

yeah everybody's been posting either 965 or 920, i was wondering why no one had any of these?
good to see

[Benny Lodewijk]

I will consider 940 after read this thread.... thanks for sharing revogamer.

[Slovnaft]

by 'need better cooling' do you mean you did this all on air?

[Xello]

Is all the stuff about 920/940 being limited in regards to taking memory past a certain point (1066/1333) nonsense then? Good news if it is :)

[Envydia007]

sorry for noobish question, are these quad cores chips?

[nullface]

sorry for noobish question, are these quad cores chips?

Yes

[SIOUX]

sorry for noobish question, are these quad cores chips?


Yes 4 cores... :)

[Envydia007]

holy crap!! then I am totally sold, 4 GHz easy on air? awesome

[GAR]

Man these CPU's are so muc fun, good times upon us!!

940 retail with P6T-deluxe on water 100% stable:

Nice results revogamer!
You have some nice toys to play with :up:

Very cool! What water? PM me if you like. I'd like to know the details. Also how you mounted blocks and stuff. That is nice and cool at 4.2GHz. Makes me very anxious to get mine running, make sure everything is OK for a bit, and then get the water loop going. These things ROCK!!!!

[revogamer]

the idles temps are always low, the load temps are the problem..

[pinto]

Load temps are 70°c for the 4 cores, i use a block from XSPC with the I7 fix. My loop is quite heavy because i have My 280s and the cpu on the same, one DDC pro and three radiators (6X120mm fan).
Temps are equal to my ex QX9650 at 4.4ghz 1.44v so it's fine for me!

[SAE]

Excellent results... the 940 is really an alternative to the XE concerning max clocks under top air or water cooling. :)

[chispy]

Great going revogamer , keep pushing it bro :)

[R3APER]

First of all id like to say good job with the overclock very impressed, and second I got my 940 today but waiting for the evga x58 mobo, just wondering what batch number your chip is, and is there somwhere i can find what numbers are doing what, the last 2 chips ive bought the qx9650 and the e8600 have been poor batches im hoping this one is gonna be different.

[Twist360]

thanks for sharing.

does the i940 can be easily stable on air with a TRUE and good case @4000MHz (i mean few hours) ?

do i have more chance to reach this frequency than with a i920 ?

[Computerville]

My i7-920 and GA-EX58 are on it´s way and I am going for 200x20 with my Noctua NH-U12F, 24/7. If it gets to hot I think 3800MHz would be pretty good anyways...

[kill_a_wat]

Very nice good work. Did you have HT enabled?

[Computerville]

Very nice good work. Did you have HT enabled?- What´s the advance of not have HT enable?

[Don_Dan]

- What´s the advance of not have HT enable?

Operating systems can't recognize which core is a "real" one and which one is a "virtual" one, it just sees eight cores. So if two work-intensive threads are assigned to two cores, it can happen that it's a real core plus a virtual one running off the same real core, so in this case it's actually slower than with four cores when every thread is assigned to a real core.

[pcaddict]

What cooler you use? :P
