A quick i7 920 D0 test on water...very nice :)

Just some quick testing under water tonight (21C ambient)...and I'm a bencher, so don't ask me about prime results. For me, it's stable if it passes the bench its working on ;)

Max Bclock - 234MHz so far

My highest SPI on my C0 chip was at 4700MHz...ON DICE...this thing did 4755MHz on water tonight.

This SPI 32M run almost finished at 4.6GHz 4.4GHz uncore :(

My best wPrime 1024 run on my C0 was about 3 minutes flat ON DICE! I beat that without even trying...

Anyhow, I've already pickup up three of these things locally, and shipped them out to other benchers...but I had to get one for myself today, and I'm not disappointed :)

Nice Results. The Classified is one of a few boards that can push the BClk over 222 and 4GHz of Uncore.

I'm with you too. Prime, Linx, Intel Burn Test are just a waste of time and mean diddly squat.

There are other smarter ways to find stability.

hm.
Does Uncore mean 1 core?
And what's DICE?

I apologize for my questions.

Folding?

DICE is Dry Ice .......

Uncore is the Intel version of AMD HyperTransport, speed of the internal bus (I think .....)

Not at all, what you mention is QPI link...this is from Anandtech:

I got a little more detail from Intel on the un-core clock. Just like Phenom, Intel’s Core i7 is divided into an area called the “core” and an area called the “uncore”. The core contains the individual processor cores and their L1/L2 caches, while the uncore houses the memory controller and the shared L3 cache. In our review I mentioned that the uncore runs at 2.66GHz, which is true, but only for the Core i7-965. The Core i7-940 and 920 both run the uncore at 2.13GHz.

The uncore clock is defined by Intel just like the core clock is - Intel sets it based on yield and performance targets. As I mentioned in the launch review, the uncore clock runs at a simple multiplier of the bclk (133MHz): 20x for the i7-965 and 16x for the i7-940/920. The uncore also runs at its own voltage (1.20V) and that voltage doesn't scale up/down.

nice clocks, miahallen!
4755 with a 1M superpi thrown in, and with HT enabled at that....good job!
