I7 920 Air Cooled @ 4.550Mhz

[Pedro Rocha]

I'm really impressed with overclocking potential of this 920 with air cooling

Setup
- I7 920 retail air cooled
- Gigabyte EX58-UD5
- 3 Cellshock DDR3 14400 @ 7-7-7-20

Here is the results:

9.2 sec Superpi 1MB

Cooling is Tuniq with a "special mounting system" - a box of CD's on top to force better contact with CPU :D:D

Sub-9 secs. Superpi 1M - I7 920 Air Cooled :D

[Stigma]

Damn thats crazy! :)

It would be nice if you dumped out all the relevant BIOS settings used so those of us with identical mobos could give those settings a try.
Its probably a great chip that allows you to go THIS far though, but still it wuld be nice to have ;)

If you look at the CPU-Z Screen Hyper Threading is turned Off. Turning Off HT enables a higher OC.

Here is my i7 920 at 205x20 with HT enabled and Turbo Enabled.

You can see that CPU-Z reports 8 threads.

Ajajaja, massman :ROFL: Nice joke :D

[expect91]

Man these new core i7 look nice :)

To bad I cant afford a new system right now :/

nice job on the OC!

[ottoyu34]

Wow. very nice clocks!

[Jor3lBR]

Muito bom Pedro! :up:

I wonder if the in store i7's can touch these cherry picked :confused:

[PhantomBeast]

What an amazing work, Pedro! Makes me so envious :p:

Could this rag pass Prime 95 for at least 24 hours? Show us more stability of it! ;)

[doox00]

I am at 3.4 with my 920 on stock cooling/volts. Not sure what the max is on stock volts.. only tried going up to 3.51, which was fine but got a little to toasty for my tastes. Will be water cooled though in the next week or so, hope it can hit 4.4.

[SiuL]

crazy boy xD

[ioGLNX]

Nice results
Pedro can you share your bios settings with us.
I'm also using the same board - I know that mine will differ but it will be a good orientation.

Thanks
