23x works better then 24x - CPU has a low VID (1.14V) and high leakage - so i think we need some LN2 to max them out...


Then we tested the Core i7 920 again (last week we got some nice scores with this CPU):

Super PI 1M (last week):

http://www.abload.de/img/1mbestioja.png (http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=1mbestioja.png)

This weekend we got some better CPU-Z scores with this CPU - cause we got the Pot a little bit colder - this CPU has a low VID (1.15V) and high leakage too..

wPrime 1024M@high clocks is with both CPUs not possible, cause temperature is getting higher and higher...
I hope we can test them next weeks with some LN2.

A special thanks goes to EVGA and Shamino for the best motherboard - EVGA Classified is a real beast :up:

Stay tuned :rehab:

Insane OCing! Isn't that considered the world record (for the time being at least)?

[Anth Seebel]

Nice results! What mhz for 3dm06 and vantage cpu test ? :up:

[roller11]

Ah, finally we see a 950 starting to live up to expectations, and a very nice 920 validation too! Thanks for the inspirational post. :)

[Kabauterman]

Nice scores bros!

this 950 realy roxx

keep tweaking the SuperPi I think 6min 50 is possible @ 5,25

[gaidin]

Excellent 950 there :clap:

Id love to see the Voltage and Overclocking tabs from Eleet at those clocks so I can see what you had to pump into it!

[Viss]

Strong 950, very nice :up:

[qballe]

realy nice 950 :D

[PytonOrm]

AWsome there mate, well done to you and what is max Bclk on this core i7 950 ? and coldbug around what degress ?:clap::eek::up:

[fubarswe]

Sweet setup and super results.., Congrats and best wishes in future sessions! :-)

[systemviper]

Very impressed, seems the classified is the base for the serious benchers,

and the new DO's are the burners.

great run, :up:

[nikolas61]

good job :clap:

[LardArse]

Great job dude, heheh you run tghter timings on 32m than 1m :D

[Afrokalle]

Insane OCing! Isn't that considered the world record (for the time being at least)?

Thank you :) - atm it is the hwbot record with i7 950 - but i dont think for a long time :D - when top overclockers starting benching with this cpu...


Nice results! What mhz for 3dm06 and vantage cpu test ? :up:

Thx - not yet tested the i7 950 in 3D - hope next week..
The i7 920 runs 4.9GHz Vantage and 5GHz 3D06 under Single Stage - with better cooling think both CPUs can do 5GHz+


Ah, finally we see a 950 starting to live up to expectations, and a very nice 920 validation too! Thanks for the inspirational post. :)

Thx mate :) - saw your nice benching thread @EVGA Forum - well done :up:


Nice scores bros!

this 950 realy roxx

keep tweaking the SuperPi I think 6min 50 is possible @ 5,25

Thx Bros :)

i´ll contact you for some 32M tweaks :D


Excellent 950 there :clap:

Id love to see the Voltage and Overclocking tabs from Eleet at those clocks so I can see what you had to pump into it!

Thanks - important voltages: VTT@1.35V and IOH@1.45V


Strong 950, very nice :up:

Thanks mate :)


realy nice 950 :D

Thanks! The i7 920 is second Retail Chip and i7 950 first - and both running good..
First time i have so much luck :D


AWsome there mate, well done to you and what is max Bclk on this core i7 950 ? and coldbug around what degress ?:clap::eek::up:

Thank you mate - did not test max BCLK @950 (played only with x23) - no CB and CBB @ both CPUs - both CPUs boot without problems @ -65°C outside the pot - think we need some LN2 to find this out :D


Sweet setup and super results.., Congrats and best wishes in future sessions! :-)

Thank you :)


Very impressed, seems the classified is the base for the serious benchers,

and the new DO's are the burners.

great run, :up:

Thx mate - Classified is the best board i ever had - EVGA and Shamino did a great job :up:


good job :clap:

Thanks


Great job dude, heheh you run tghter timings on 32m than 1m :D

Thx Master :) - this board is pure fun :up: - cant stop benching :rehab:

We tested so a long time 32M (cause score was not as good as it could) and then we had no more Dice..Must do this 1M and PiFast Screen very fast :D - no time for tweaking...

[TheKarmakazi]

Great work! Were you more bclk limited with 24x and thats why you used 23x?

[gaidin]

Thanks - important voltages: VTT@1.35V and IOH@1.45V


Thanks afrokalle, I'll give those volts a shot with my 950. Dont know about those vcore volts though even under the cascade :D

[gandalfone]

Very nice score on dry ice

Can you tell i950 Batch please?

I sow that any 950 have a problem with 24 multy...right?

[Afrokalle]

Great work! Were you more bclk limited with 24x and thats why you used 23x?

Thanks :)

24x is buged and i can only hit 5150MHz for a screen - but 23x works smooth :D


Thanks afrokalle, I'll give those volts a shot with my 950. Dont know about those vcore volts though even under the cascade :D

we worked without LLC - so VCore drooped to 1.5V - 1.525V@Load. Did not really test if CPU can do this clocks with less VCore...
Hope you´ll have fun with your i7 950 :up:

Thx mate :)

Batch is 3849Bxxx (dont know the rest :D - i´ll update..)

I dont know if any i7 950 have a problem with x24 but i saw that Pt1t ones have problems too..
All i7 works a little bit better with oddly multipliers (17,19,21,23) but on my i7 950 the difference between x23 and x24 is very big :shrug:

[eva2000]

3849B is a nice batch... congrats on the nice scores in my fav benchmarks :D

[Afrokalle]

Thanks Eva :wave: - especially from you its nice to hear...you are a absolutley memory guru (reading always your threads)...

[Paxi]

Nice Scores dude :) I really need to get some better Rams.. ^^

Thanks Afrokalle :up: Ive picked up a W3540 now too so I will keep whichever one gets the better clocks!

[George_o/c]

Great CPUs mate, especially that 950 :up:
Batches please :)

[Afrokalle]

Thanks George :)

both are no 3845 :D - the 950 is 3849B099 and the 920 is 3849A769 - 49 seems to be a good week too...

[Afrokalle]

Started last night with some 3D benches...

Core i7 950 & 9800GT (Core i7 950 cooled by Single Stage -42°C@Eva@Load & 9800GT V-Mod GPU watercooled by Enzotech SNBW)

coming soon :D

CPU scales wonderful with cold but its not cold enough to bench 3D06 CPU Test with more then 5GHz - but i will try with Dice or LN2 at the weekend...


Core i7 950 & GTX280 (Card is @stockcooler at the moment but will make cold next days :D)

http://www.abload.de/img/gtx280aquacpri.png (http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=gtx280aquacpri.png)

not enough cold at the moment to push cpu to same result as yesterday...

Stay tuned :peace:

Afrokalle

[gaidin]

looking forward to seeing some more results when you can go cooler Afrokalle :D

Theres a big diff between 2D and 3D there...more than I was expecting!

[Afrokalle]

Thanks gaidin :)

the differences came only from kind of cooling...
2D was cooling with Dice (-65°C outside the pot) and now 3D with the Single Stage (-45°C@Eva).
I think with Dice or better LN2 this 950 will run ~5250MHz or perhaps 5300MHz through 3D.
Heard from a friend that his 975 has coldbug@-120°C but in 3D06 CPU Test its running@-135°C - this new D0 CPUs scales very good with cold :up:

[JacobF]

Thx Master :) - this board is pure fun :up: - cant stop benching :rehab:.

Great scores and yes, thanks to the master! (The one on the right of course!)

[Afrokalle]

Thx jAkUp :) are you the other one?

EVGA was always for enthusiast but Classified is a piece of art :worship: - pushing a i7 was never so easy...

[madgravity34]

I was hopin the 950 would do better, but those are still some nice clocks! Its getting harder not to upgrade to i7 :up:

[lior307]

Great chip you've got there

I also have this Batch - hope to do a 5.3ghz too .

[roller11]

Congrats mate :up: this is really impressive...

Think i have to test with only one memory module too :D

At the moment i try to get sub7min in Super PI 32M:

http://www.abload.de/img/32m8137.png (http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=32m8137.png)

Single Stage -43°C@Load (no tweaks yet - only maxmem=600)

Pushing uncore helps a lot in 32M - this run is as fast as my Dice run @5250MHz with low uncore - so with 5250MHz + Uncore + CW i think i can break 7min barrier...

[roller11]

Afrokalle,
Your superpi performance screen is every bit as impressive as my max clock! :)

Can you explain "maxmem=600" ? I can find no 'maxmem' setting in BIOS. Also, is it possible to get lower than 16x uncore?

Thanks! roller11

[Viss]

Maxmem is set in OS (msconfig/bootini/advanced).

Nice scores Afrokalle :up:

[drnip]

Also, is it possible to get lower than 16x uncore?

Thanks! roller11

If I'm not mistakin if you disable QPI Controller Setting this will give you a lower uncore.

[Afrokalle]

Thanks roller11 & loc.o :)

@drnip: if you disable QPI Controller Setting you will get a lower QPI Link Speed - some call it slow mode...
your uncore must memory speed x2 - so if you use memory multiplier x8 the lowest uncore multiplier is x16 (cpu-z shows uncore as nb frequency) - but you can choose a higher uncore multiplier to get faster L3 Latencies.

[Solarfall]

your i7 950 seems to be pretty nice clocker considering that your using only an SS to cool down that freaking hot i7 chip :up:

[borec]

Excelent clocks! very nice :)

Thx mate :)
i´ll test the 950 at the weekend with some liquid nitrogen :D

Tested yesterday the 920 with Dice again, and this CPU seems to be a nice clocker too...

Load VCore was around 1.45V for this speed:

Did not have some memory with Elpida Hyper Chips (only Mushkin with Elpida BBSE) but at the weekend get some nice sticks from Corsair and 50l LN2 + 50kg Dice :cool:

Stay tuned :peace:

[n30c0rt3x]

Hey there.. nice Job man.... nice Job.... very impressive... gotta play today for a while classified :D keep pushing :up:

[WCRF]

Afrokalle, great results!!!

Congratulations.

I have a system close to yours, what vdimm did you use??

[KanGaXx]

Nice Results :)

can you tell me why you dont use x24 moltiplier ?
bclk wall ?

[Afrokalle]

Thx :)

@WCRF: we used for Elpida Hyper Chips ~1.76V - 1.82V and for Elpida BBSE ~1.70V - 1.76V (this chips do not scale good with vmem)

@aerie: x24 is not running as good as x23 - dont know why....

[WCRF]

Thx :)

@WCRF: we used for Elpida Hyper Chips ~1.76V - 1.82V and for Elpida BBSE ~1.70V - 1.76V (this chips do not scale good with vmem)



Is this Elpida Hyper the same of Corsair Dominator??

I'm asking 'cause I have the same RAMs

[Afrokalle]

Elpida Hyper Chips are only on new Corsair memory (1866MHz C7, 2000MHz C8 & 2000MHz C7). You have (when we´re talking about the memory in your sig) the Corsair 1600MHz C8 - don´t know what chips on this modules - but definetly not Elpida Hyper...
